The apparatus has at least one hot air module (6) for drawing or relaxing the thread Y. An apparatus in the form of divider sheets (12) is provided for screening the hot stream of air from the rollers (9,10,10') of each hot air module. To facilitate the introduction of the thread Y into the hot air module, two rows or rollers (9,10) face each other and are arranged in each hot air module. The rollers (10) of one row are arranged parallel to the rollers (9) of another row, and are movable beyond them so that a meander shaped arrangement of the thread Y is achieved. The thread meander shaped arrangement or the thread is achieved automatically in the hot air modules, and when the rollers (9,10) are displaced in this way, the divider sheets (12) may be folded away or displaced. An Independent claim is included for a method of drawing and relaxing the multi filament thread. The temperature in the vicinity of the rollers is about 80 - 90 degrees C. less than that of the air for heating the thread. |
