Abstract
Yarns spun by a fine spinning frame are rewound from the spun cops directly into cheeses on compressible bobbins which are contractable in the axial and radial directions. The bobbins with cheese thus wound up are piled one upon another on spindles of a carrier without interposing any spacer therebetween and compressed in the axial direction so that both ends of every bobbin come in the same planes with both ends of respective cheese. By dyeing the cheeses in this condition by a usual cheese dyeing method, a uniform dyeing without any dyeing unevenness can be effected in a greatly simplified process.
Claims3
A method of dyeing wound-up yarns spun by a fine spinning frame and wound into cops, comprising the steps of:
- a. winding up yarns from the cops directly into cheeses on compressible bobbins which are contractable in the axial and radial directions when compressed axially and carrying out the winding under a yarn tension substantially equal to the maximum of the fluctuating yarn tensions which occur during unwinding from the cops,
- b. piling at least two bobbins having cheese wound thereon one atop another in end-to-end relationship on a spindle of a carrier to form a bobbin pile,
- c. axially compressing the bobbins so as to effect axial and radial contraction of the bobbins to an extent sufficient to uniformly relax the yarns due to slackening of the yarns in the direction of winding traverse on the bobbins and due to contraction of the bobbins in the radial direction, and
- d. dyeing the cheeses while the bobbins are maintained in the compressed state with the yarns uniformly relaxed.
