Method And Apparatus For Producing Yarn From Fibrous Tufts
US Patent:
4028872, Jun 14, 1977
Filed:
Apr 30, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/681961
Inventors:
James I. Kotter - Mandeville LA
Craig L. Folk - New Orleans LA
Craig L. Folk - New Orleans LA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of
Agriculture - Washington DC
Agriculture - Washington DC
International Classification:
D01H 112, D01G 1500, D01G 2100
US Classification:
57 5891
Abstract:
By combination and interaction of mechanical and aerodynamic forces, textile fibers in the form of tufts are processed continuously by deposition into a hopper, subjected to an initial tuft-opening and cleaning apparatus, discharged as smaller tufts into another hopper wherein a constant level is maintained. The smaller tufts are then continuously formed into a lap and fed to a secondary opening and cleaning apparatus. Fibrous stock is pneumatically doffed and conveyed from this single source through a blending, subdividing and distributing means, in equal amounts through conduits to multiple remote locations for continuous assemblage into identical fibrous ribbons, fed to fiber individualizing means and subsequently to open-end spinning units for further processing into yarn.
Fiber Dispersing And Feeding Apparatus For Open End Spinning
US Patent:
4077196, Mar 7, 1978
Filed:
Nov 2, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/737979
Inventors:
James I. Kotter - Mandeville LA

Agriculture - Washington DC
International Classification:
D01H 112
US Classification:
57 5895
Abstract:
Under influence of positive and negative aerodynamic action imposed on a conic surface, airborne fibers and tufts are compelled to disperse approximately 360. degree. and to enter the rotor of an open-end yarn spinner device, peripherally, thereby minimizing identifiable yarn imperfections and inefficiencies attributive to open-end yarn formation.
Fiber Blending, Subdividing, And Distributing System
US Patent:
4030280, Jun 21, 1977
Filed:
Jan 7, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/647244

Agriculture - Washington DC
International Classification:
D01H 112, D01G 2308
US Classification:
57 5895
Abstract:
By combination and interaction of aerodynamic and mechanical forces, textile fibers are removed from a single source, transported, collected, blended, subdivided, and distributed in equal amounts to multiple remote locations, whereby the fibers are continuously assembled into uniform ribbons for subsequent textile processing or supplied directly to open-end spinning units.
