Sizing machine

摘要

A sizing machine for sizing warp yarns (T) by drawing warp yarns supplied with size liquid through a pair of squeeze rollers (11,12) and squeezing off excessive size liquid from the warp yarns with the squeeze rollers. A size liquid supply means (21,22) supplies size liquid to the circumferential surface of the roller located at an upper side of the warp yarns or supplies size liquid to an upper surface defined on the warp yarns upstream from the pair of squeeze rollers. A size liquid tray (15) arranged below the squeeze rollers includes a receiving portion for receiving size liquid that falls from the pair of squeeze rollers. The receiving portion is located at a position that is always out of contact with the lower squeeze roller during operation of the sizing machine. Accordingly, an optimal amount of size liquid is easily supplied to the warp yarns.
