Device for the heat treatment of moving yarns, during, for example, a texturizing stretching operation. The yarn is subject to two successive treatments, one at a high temperature, the other at a normal treatment temperature. The device is one wherein these successive phases are obtained by means of a heating unit formed by a cylindrical assembly comprising two heating zones on either side of which are provided guide means for the yarn. The zones are heated by means of two resistance elements embedded inside the cylindrical assembly. The two resistance elements are mounted in parallel, offset with respect to each other along the length of the unit, and each associated with a thermocouple element enabling temperature to be regulated accurately.

Device for the heat treatment of moving yarns

Method making it possible to control the temperature prevailing inside a high-temperature oven employed for the treatment of a synthetic yarn, especially during an operation of texturing by false twisting, said method consisting, in the case of a given substance (count and chemical composition), in modifying the temperature inside the oven as a function not only of the speed of travel of said yarn, but also of its count. It is characterized in that said temperature .THETA. in .degree.C. is determined from the general formula:

Method of controlling the temperature prevailing inside an oven intended

Process allowing the cooling of a yarn (2) in motion at the exit from a heater (5) before it passes through a treatment member such as a false twist spindle (7), consisting in passing the yarn inside a tube (10) through which a current of cool air or other gaseous product passes, the current of air being directed in a direction opposite to the direction of advance of the yarn. It is characterized in that during this cooling phase, the yarn is held in contact with a support or guide surface arranged coaxially inside the tube (10) through which the current of air which flows in the space contained between the external tube (10) and the guide surface.

Process and apparatus for cooling a heated yarn

Machine for carrying out twisting and an additional texturing treatment continuously on a man-made yarn, wherein false-twist texturing treatment elements (6) are arranged in the central part (2) of the stand of the machine, and the feeding elements (7, 10) for feeding the yarn consist of delivery devices of the positive type. A double-twist spindle (3) and the winding assembly (5) are arranged one above the other and are laterally offset. The guidance of the yarn (5) at the exit of the double-twist spindle (3), in order to convey it into the texturing treatment zone (6), and at the exit of said texturing zone, in order to convey it to the winding members (11), is obtained by an assembly (13) comprising, for each work station, a pair of yarn guides (15, 16) supported at the same level on the stand of the machine substantially at mid-height. One guide (15) is arranged in the extension of the double-twist spindle (3), and the other guide (16) is offset laterally outwardly from the one guide (15).

Machine having a reduced height for twisting and texturing a yarn

Device for heating a yarn in motion, of the type consisting of an insulating enclosure (15) which surrounds a heater block (E) with which it defines a lengthwise channel inside which the yarn (5) to be treated runs, means for guiding said yarn being provided to ensure its positioning, said heater block (E) consisting of a unit comprising at least two cylindrical sections (A, B) which have different diameters and are arranged one extending the other and which support, over their length, rings (1, 3, 4) equipped with guiding members making it possible to keep the yarn at a constant distance from the surface of small diameter, and making it possible to make the yarn describe a tangent helically with the cylindrical surface of large diameter. It is characterized in that one of the outermost faces (31) of the cowling surrounding the insulating enclosure and the heater block is removable and carries all the connections which make it possible to provide the electrical supply to the oven, its control etc., the heater block (E) being fastened by one of its ends to said removable face (31).

Device for heating a yarn in motion with removable heater block

An apparatus for the heat treatment of yarns in motion during various operations such as drawing or texturing includes an insulating enclosure which surrounds a heating block, the combination defining a lengthwise channel through which runs the yarn to be treated. Means for guiding the yarn through the channel is provided to ensure the desired positioning of the yarn inside the channel. The heating block consists of a unit comprising at least two cylindrical sections having different diameters and arranged in the extension of one another. The means for guiding the yarn is positioned along the length of the cylindrical sections so that the yarn may be kept at a constant distance from the surface of the cylinder of smaller diameter, with the result that the yarn passing above the smaller cylinder is heated by radiation. The means for guiding then direct the yarn so that the yarn may come into tangential contact with the surface of the cylinder of larger diameter, with the result that the yarn passing over the surface of the larger cylinder is heated by contact or conduction. Suction means for removing fumes produced by the heat treatment operation associated with a sleeve that closes the outlet end of the device is also provided.

A double-twist twisting spindle (2) driven by an individual electric motor (9), the stator (10) of which is fastened to the supporting stand (1) of the machine and the rotor (11) of which is fixed to the shank (2) of the spindle, a stationary package holder (3) being arranged in the extension of the spindle. The mounting of the stationary members on the machine stand (1) is carried out by a sleeve (12) mounted elastically on the stand (1) and fixed to the housing of the motor, the bearings (14, 15) which guide and support the spindle being mounted on the inside of an intermediate bush (16) mounted removably on the inside of the supporting sleeve (12).

A yarn tension device of the type including three rollers mounted freely rotatably on a support housing, at least one of these rollers being subjected to the action of an adjustable permanent-magnet braking system (or magnetic brake), and the yarn, during its movement being deflected around the periphery of the rollers, the movement of the yarn upstream and downstream of the tension assembly being executed in a common direction called the 'running axis'. The rollers are mounted on the support housing in such a way that:
