Claims13
A method comprising:
- passing a yarn to be textured to a yarn texturing zone;
- and
- passing the yarn directly to a restraining zone in which a yarn wad forms, said restraining zone containing a rigid sleeve, a plurality of individual stacked members and a flexible sleeve through which the yarn wad passes, said rigid sleeve being positioned intermediate the yarn wad and the stacked members to assist in guiding the yarn wad through the restraining zone, said flexible sleeve being of substantially uniform diameter and being positioned intermediate the yarn wad and the stacked members so as to prevent said stacked members from being removed from said restraining zone by becoming entrained in the yarn wad as the stacked members confine and restrain the yarn wad.
Apparatus for restraining a yarn wad comprising:
- a yarn texturing means having an inlet and an outlet;
- a chamber having an inlet and an outlet and an inner and outer surface, said inlet attached to the outlet of the texturing means;
- a flexible sleeve having a substantially uniform diameter and having an inlet and an outlet and an inner and an outer surface, said inlet of said sleeve being attached to the outlet of said texturing means and said sleeve being positioned in and extending through said chamber;
- a plurality of individual stacked members positioned in said chamber between the inner surface thereof and the outer surface of said flexible sleeve;
- and
- a rigid sleeve disposed in said chamber adjacent the inlet thereof and extending therethrough to form an extension of said inlet, said rigid sleeve constructed so as to permit the stacked members to pass therethrough.
