In a spinning method in which, after a bundle of fibers has been drafted, the fibers are introduced into a twisting device using an air jet. The fibers are formed into bound spun yarns by the twisting device and are wound on a package by a winding device. The spinning method includes the steps of arranging and doubling at least two spun yarns upstream from where a twisting torque applied to the spun yarn by the twisting device disappears, entangling the spun yarns by the residual twisting torque, and thereafter winding them on a package.

Apparatus for producing yarn

A multi-ply spun yarn having a self-converging property and a method for producing it. In the method wherein fiber is drafted first and introduced into an air jetting twisting device, and then yarns spun out by the twisting device are joined together by a guide member and taken up onto a take-up device, the twisted yarns are joined together after separated by a separating guide.

Multi-ply spun yarn and method for producing the same

Method and Apparatus for forming a package including a steps of drafting and twisting a raw sliver to form a spun yarn, taking up at least two spun yarns in a paralleled state into the same package, and supplying the thus wound package directly to a two-for-one twister disposed in continuity with the spinning device. The spinning device and the two-for-one twister are connected to each other by a conveyor for feeding the packages from the spinning device and by a yarn supply package replacing device.

Method and apparatus for producing yarn

A spinning apparatus which includes a drafting device, a twisting device and a take-up device is constituted such that the spinning apparatus further includes a guide device for guiding the fiber bundle in the separated condition in a plurality of rows and the twisting device includes a plurality of rows of twisting mechanism which can twist a plurality of rows of fiber bundle at a time.

Spinning method and spinning apparatus

A draft roller in a spinning machine in which its portion in contact with a fiber bundle, i.e. the draft portion, is made relatively large in diameter, and the roller portion adjacent to the draft portion are tapered gradually away from the draft portion so that fibers wound around the draft portion are moved therefrom to the tapered portions and can be removed easily.

Roller of draft apparatus

A coupling device comprising two bosses for respectively inserting therein each end of two shafts to be connected, a coupling member which is made of a resilient material and covers the bosses and a casing to fit the coupling member therein. The bosses have a plurality of toothed portions formed on outer periphery thereof and the coupling member has toothed portions identical in number and shape to the toothed portions of the bosses at inner periphery thereof so that the two bosses and coupling member are engaged with each other.

Resilient shaft coupling device

A pneumatic spinning apparatus wherein a sliver is introduced into an air injection nozzle in which the sliver is acted upon by a flow of compressed air to produce a spinning yarn. A silencer is connected in contiguous relationship to an exhaust air hole of the nozzle.

Pneumatic spinning apparatus

A draft device for a spinning machine comprises a plurality of pairs of a top roller and a bottom roller, a draft cradle for supporting shafts of the top roller and a belt tenser. Top roller shafts are supported by a top roller support which is rotatably supported on a frame at one end thereof and side plates for fitting the top roller shafts therein, and spring members for pressing the roller shafts are disposed within the top roller support. A tenser of the belt tenser has an engaging portion wherein the top roller shaft is loosely fitted.

Draft device

A spinning machine wherein a yarn knotting truck having a knotter provided thereon travels in a truck travelling spacing provided along a number of spinning units further includes an apparatus for automatically doffing winding packages which have yarns fully wound thereon. A doffing truck which has provided thereon a doffing apparatus travels in the truck travelling spacing.

Spinning machine with a doffing apparatus

A device for the uniform retrieval of yarn ends in an air spinning device. A suction force gradient is created between the air jet nozzle and the waste suction pipe. Gravitational force and the suction gradient cause broken yarn ends to drop from the air jet nozzle orifice toward the waste suction pipe. When yarn piecing is desired, a piecing suction pipe retrieves the yarn end from the nozzle orifice.

Method of guiding yarn end in air spinning apparatus

An air nozzle for spinning yarn is positioned adjacent a pair of drafting rollers. The space between a cap covering the nozzle and the nozzle itself forms a tank for the air to be jetted through the nozzle. A tapered throttle located behind the nozzle reduces resistance to air exiting from the jetting ports.

Air spinning nozzle unit

A yarn slacking apparatus for slacking and retaining a fed yarn therein during the knotting operation in a winder. The sucking action is caused in the slack tube only when the knotting operation is carried out, while the sucking action of the slack tube is stopped by means of providing a shutter means for an opening of the slack tube, when the knotting operation is not conducted.

Apparatus for slacking yarn in winder

A drafting device in a spinning machine including a cylindrical sliver guide and an adjusting guide for reshaping and controlling the sliver, and a traverse mechanism for an apron supported on the middle roller. The sliver guide is disposed in front of the back rollers and the adjusting guide is arranged between the back rollers and the middle rollers.

Drafting apparatus in spinning machine

An air current rectifier plate surrounds the foremost air jet nozzle in an air spinning device. The rectifier plate produces a non-turbulent flow of air toward the waste suction pipe and prevents debris from back-flowing into the air jet nozzle.
