A composite heat resistant sewing thread comprising a core form of at least one strand of a yarn having an elongation, at least one bottom cover wrapped around the core in a first direction at a rate sufficient to provide substantially complete coverage of the core, at least one outer cover wrapped around the at least one bottom cover, at least one bonding agent, and a lubricant.

A method and apparatus for continuously treating traveling filaments includes an assembly for causing at least one filament to travel along a travel path and assembly for rotatably supporting one or more filaments for payout therefrom responsive to the influence of the assembly for causing the filaments to travel, an assembly for rotating the filament supports at a predetermined angular velocity to form a traveling twisted filament and an arrangement for applying treating fluid to the traveling filaments.

Twisted, dyed and bonded filaments

An apparatus defining a travel path for dyeing a traveling textile strand in a continuous in-line process includes: an applicator for metering and applying a predetermined amount of a liquid to a traveling textile strand along a travel path defined by the apparatus whereby the traveling strand is saturated with the liquid; means for heating the traveling strand to a first predetermined temperature and then to a second predetermined temperature for drying and finishing the traveling strand, the heating means including at least one heated roll disposed along the travel path adjacent to and downstream of said applicator; and a winding arrangement disposed at the end of the travel path adjacent to and downstream of the heating means for winding the dried and finished traveling strand on a bobbin to form a finished package following the heating of the traveling strand. The heating means includes a first pair of heated rolls for heating the traveling strand to the first predetermined temperature ad a second pair of heated rolls for heating the traveling strand to the second predetermined temperature. Alternatively, the heating means includes a single roll having a first heating zone which heats the traveling strand to the first predetermined temperature and a second heating zone which heats the traveling strand to the second predetermined temperature. Preferably, the travel path extends from the applicator directly to the heating means, and from the heating means directly to the winding arrangement.

Method for dyeing a traveling textile strand

A method for dyeing a traveling strand of textile yarn includes applying an aqueous dye solution to the yarn, heating the yarn to a temperature less than 100.degree. C. to dry the strand without boiling the water in the dye solution and then heating the strand to a temperature between 120.degree. C. and 220.degree. C. for further thermal treatment of the traveling strand.

A support for a traveling strand of rubber yarn being wound on a winder is disposed intermediate a rubber yarn supply in the winder with the support including a vertically oriented support member disposed upstream of the winder and downstream of the yarn supply and a first frictionless bearing movably mounted to the support for selected vertical movement of the bearing to allow entanglements of rubber to dissipate as the yarn travels the vertical distances between the supply and the first frictionless bearing and the first frictionless bearing and the winder.

An apparatus for controlling the winding pattern on a yarn package for traverse winder used for winding elastomeric yarn to prevent repetitive patterns of individual yarn segments on the package includes an apparatus for monitoring the operation of a yarn package spindle, an apparatus for monitoring the operation of a traverse arm associated with a winder, an arrangement for predicting the occurrence of repetitive patterns of yarn strands, and an arrangement for adjusting the relative speed of the yarn package spindle and the traverse arm to prevent the occurrence of thusly predicted repetitive patterns.

An apparatus for controlling the tension on a traveling strand of rubber yarn being wound on a winder includes the yarn guide defining three yarn passage regions, a first assembly for detecting the presence of the traveling strand in the second region, and providing an output as a response and a second assembly for detecting the presence of the traveling strand in the third region and providing an output as a response thereto. The apparatus further includes an arrangement for adjusting the tension on the traveling strand responsive to input from the yarn detectors.

A method and apparatus for stabilizing and increasing the yield of natural rubber yarn includes stretching the yarn three times while allowing the yarn to relax intermediate and following the stretching steps. The method is accomplished using a plurality of nip rolls wherein a second roll is caused to travel faster than a first roll or the second roll is larger than the first roll, or both, to achieve the stretch while the yarn is relaxed intermediate three such stretching assemblies.
