Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a textile product by starting with fibers and/or filaments in which these fibers and/or filaments travel in the form of a web. The technique consists in subjecting the fibers and/or filaments to a transverse looping accompanied by drawing and that the latter are accumulated in the form of loops in which the fibers and/or filaments are parallelised.
Claims18
Process for manufacturing a textile product comprising:
- depositing fibers in a moving web;
- arranging fibers for forward travel in the form of a web, wherein most of the fibres of the web have an angle of orientation relative to the direction of forward travel of the web of between 5.degree. and 45.degree.;
- transversely looping and simultaneously transversely drawing the fibers in the web;
- and
- accumulating the fibres relative to the direction of forward travel, in the form of loop in which the fibres are parallelised.
Device for manufacturing a textile product from elementary fibres, in which the fibres travel in the form of a web in a forward direction, comprising rotary looping elements (11), for orienting fibres, arranged at spaced-apart distances on a shaft (13) which is transverse in relation to the forward travel of the web, which further includes lopping fingers, (21), for presenting the web to the looping elements (11), arranged between said rotary looping elements.
