Abstract
An air nozzle utilized for false-twisting a fiber bundle to form a fasciated yarn, comprising, in series, an inlet and a fiber passage provided with at least a jet for generating a vortex within the fiber passage. The inlet has an opening of a flattened shape having upper and lower walls longer than the side walls thereof and has a size decreasing toward the fiber passage. The edge portion of the ribbon-like fiber bundle passing through the air nozzle strongly contacts the upper and lower walls of the inlet during the twisting operation by the vortex. As a result of frictional resistance with the walls, the twist angle of the edge portion fibers becomes less than that of the core portion fibers. This causes a tightly fasciated effect of the edge portion fibers onto the core portion fibers during the untwisting operation.
