Abstract
A fibrous strand including at least some short fibers and composed of two or more kinds of fibers of different melting point temperatures is, concurrently with false twisting, and in a vibrating condition, heated by a heater of the non-contact type at temperatures between the highest and lowest melting point temperatures of the component fibers so as to produce spun-like yarns of a substantially twistless configuration containing uniformly scattered points of inter-fiber binding and fibers crimped in the form of a coil.
Claims4
A process for producing spun-like yarns by a false-twisting system, comprising, in combination, forming a fibrous strand from at least two kinds of fibers having different melting point temperatures, said fibrous strand containing at least some short fibers, subjecting said strand simultaneously to false-twisting and ballooning vibration with the balloon having a diameter of two to twenty millimeters whereby a twisting zone is created, and heating said strand in said twisting zone to temperatures between the highest and lowest melting point temperatures of said fibers without directly contacting said strand with any heating element, and keeping said strand to reach a temperature above the lowest melting point of said fibers while said strand is in said twisting zone.
