Abstract
Disclosed is a friction false-twisting device comprising three parallel rotatable shafts disposed at vertexes of a regular triangle and a plurality of friction discs having a yarn contacting surface made of ceramic disposed on the rotatable shafts. Each friction disc comprises a pair of parallel end surfaces, having a large distance T(mm) between the end surfaces in a range between 5 and 8 mm, a curved surface disposed at a position between said parallel end surfaces having a large radius of curvature R(mm) in a range between 5 and 8 mm and a pair of connecting surfaces formed between the end surfaces and the curved surface having a small radius of curvature r(mm) in a range between 1/6 R and 1/2 R. The surface roughness of the yarn contacting surface is formed in a range between 1.sup.s and 6.sup.s, defined by Japanese Industrial Standard. The friction discs and the shafts are arranged so that, when utilizing this false-twisting device, yarn can be false-twisted at a speed higher than 400 m/min, yarn breakages and fluffs in the textured yarn are decreased, and the yarn quality of the textured yarn is high and uniform.
