METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LAYING A FILAMENT

摘要

A method and apparatus for laying down a weft filament. The weft yarns are propelled over a moving substrate, whereupon they are clamped and pulled down into the substrate. The apparatus propels the filaments (102) through an elongate hollow chamber (54) where they are clamped by clamping means (74). They are then transferred from the chamber onto the substrate. By pivotting the apparatus the angles at which the filaments can be layed onto the substrate can be carefully controlled enabling hitherto unobtainable products to be produced.
