Abstract

See full text

Synthetic yarn and yarn-like structures are formed by the method of treating separate strands of thermoplastic material so that at least one has a shrinkage ratio higher than normal at an elevated temperature. The strands are fed forwardly at different rates of overfeed and intermingled in a gas stream with formation of loops on the strands, then heated to cause them to shrink differentially while being held to a predetermined length until shrinkage ceases. Apparatus for performing the method includes yarn drawing means, intermingling means comprising a jet device incorporating intersecting passages for the strands and for a gas under pressure, feeding means and heating and cooling means for the intermingled yarn downstream from the jet device, also means for holding the intermingled yarn to a predetermined length while it is being heated and cooled. Yarn produced by the method incorporates filaments at least some of which present bud-like projections inhibiting relative movement of the filaments.
