1,102,095. Spinning; finishing and testing yarns; winding bobbins. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. 17, June, 1965 [19, June, 1964], No. 25416/64. Headings D1F, D1J and D1W. A yarn composed of one or more continuous, synthetic e.g. polyamide, polyester, polyhydrocanbonate, or polyurethane, filament(s) comprises a multiplicity of interconnected loops arranged essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the yarn with many of the loops contained for at least part of their length within another loop and with a number of, perhaps shorter length, loops wrapped e.g. as a discontinuous sheath, around the body or relatively compact core of the yarn. The yarn is stated to possess an air drag factor of at least 7.5, a bulk factor, i.e. the percentage change in the diameter of the yarn on the application thereto of a given load (as detailed in the specification) of at least 1.3, and a twist factor i.e. actual twist divided by the square root of the cotton count, of at least 0.75. The air drag is measured by incorporating a length of the yarn in a pendulum arrangement (a two metre length clamped at one end and with a 4 grm. weight attached to its opposite end) and determining the number of swings between amplitudes of 30‹ and 20‹ on one side as the oscillatory movement of the pendulum is damped by air resistance. The air drag factor is then equal to the product of the fourth power of the drag and the denier divided by 102. The yarn is produced by passing an extruded continuous filament 20 (or up to, say, 50 thereof) to a rotating body 22 around which it is wound. The body has a peripheral speed sufficient to tension, attenuate and molecularly orient the filament, and a reciprocating movement is imparted to the filament by a traverse mechanism 25 whereby it moves back and forward along the body so as to form a constantly acccumulating sleeve thereon. The sleeve is continuously withdrawn from the body so as to impart twist to the coiled filaments. Simultaneously therewith, the sleeve is everted by pulling it, in the form of a strand 27 of complex interconnected loops, in the reverse direction through an axial bore or passage 23 and hollow driving shaft 24 of the body, a guide 28 to take-up bobbin 30. The process, materials and apparatus are the same as described in Specification 1,082,401 except as regards provision for evertion of the sleeve through hollow rotating bodies, as at 22.
