Abstract

This invention relates to a spun yarn spinning machine of the air injection type, which has first and second yarn twisting devices disposed between front rollers and delivery rollers. These first and second yarn twisting devices have air injection nozzles for injecting air obliquely fed toward the delivery roller side. These air injection nozzles of the first and second yarn twisting devices open into the cylindrical yarn passages of the yarn twisting devices so that the twisting directions of the yarns are in counter direction with each other tangentially of the passages at a predetermined angle with respect to the central axis of the passages of the first and second yarn twisting devices. The first yarn twisting device also has an untwisting device associated therewith for loosening the fibers before the fibers once twisted by the injected air in the first yarn twisting are fed into the second yarn twisting device.

Dependent claims

A spun yarn spinning apparatus having a pair of front rollers and a pair of delivery rollers, which comprises first yarn twisting means disposed between the front rollers and delivery rollers and including a cylindrical yarn passage therethrough and a plurality of air injection nozzles opening into the cylindrical yarn passage tangentially of the passage at a predetermined angle with respect to the central axis of the passage and toward the delivery rollers, an untwisting device disposed adjacent to the nozzles, and second yarn twisting means disposed between the front rollers and delivery rollers including a second cylindrical yarn passage therethrough and a plurality of air injection nozzles opening into the second cylindrical yarn passage tangentially of the passage at a predetermined angle with respect to the central axis of the passage and toward the delivery rollers, wherein said air injection nozzles of the second yarn twisting means are so oriented that the direction of the helical fluid jet stream caused thereby is in counter direction with respect to that caused by the air injection nozzles of the first yarn twisting means.
