Title:
A METHOD AND MEANS FOR TEXTILE MANUFACTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001066840
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and means for simultaneously inserting weft/binding yarns (45) and their beating-up, in textile manufacturing processes like 3D-weaving and uniaxial noobing, is disclosed. A yarn carrier (90; 39; 22) is equipped with a beating-up reed dent (27; 28). In carrier (90), which comprises a cartridge-like yarn supplying means (1x), the yarn (45) is arranged around two axes of rotation (X1 and X2) and it is enclosed in a case. It is particularly suitable for 3D textile-forming processes like 3D-weaving and uniaxial noobing because of its relatively low-height but high-width and hence the possibility of carrying relatively large amount of yarn. The yarn (45) is contained on a flanged belt (15) that can be driven either from within or from outside of the means (1x). Such a cartridge-like yarn supplying means (1x) is equipped with tips (18a, 18b) that are offset or displaced oppositely about the central axis. Such a displaced arrangement of the tips directs the carriers (90; 22) to lay yarn (45) in two different paths, relative to a layer of warp/axial yarns, while traversing back and forth in the same linear path. Through such a method the 3D-weaving and uniaxial noobing processes can be made efficient. The yarn supplying means (1x) could also be useful in other textile processes.
