METHOD OF PRODUCING A YARN FROM JUTE OR SIMULAR TOUGH STAPLE FIBRES

摘要

To produce without twisting a yarn from a slubbing of jute or similar tough fibres, said yarn being of sufficient strength and resistance to abrasion to be used in yarn processing machines, the slubbing (1) is wetted with an active adhesive and after drawing (5, 6, 7, 8) it is false twisted and compacted with the aid of an apparatus consisting of two partially overlapping wheels (10, 11) turning in opposite directions and spaced a short distance apart, the drawn slubbing being passed along the common chord between the wheels.
