Abstract
A machine for producing chenille yarn has a winding member on which turns of effect yarn are formed. A rotating disc-shaped cutter can be moved into an operative position to cut the turns on the winding member into individual lengths of effect yarn for forming conventional chenille yarn. The cutter can also be moved to a non-operative position remote from the winding member whereby the turns of effect yarn are uncut and the chenille yarn then produced is of the boucle type. The cutter may be moved between its operative and inoperative positions during operation of the machine so that the yarn produced has alternate chenille portions and boucle portions.
Claims5
In a machine for producing chenille yarn, at least one yarn-forming assembly including means for feeding at least one pair of binding yarns and at least one effect yarn, a winding member, means for forming turns of the effect yarn on the winding member, cutter means, and means for moving the cutter means towards and away from said winding member into and out of engagement with the effect yarn at selected intervals as said yarns are fed to said winding member in order to cut the turns of effect yarn when the cutter is moved towards the winding member and to leave them intact when it is moved away from the winding member to provide respectively for the formation of yarn having alternating chenille and boucle portions.
