Abstract
Abstract Shown is apparatus for fusing together pairs of thermally deformable yarn ends, each pair comprising a first yarn end wound on a multiple-yarn beam and a second yarn end. The apparatus comprises a first thermally insulating multiply-dented comb-like member releasably mountable adjacent the beam and extending the full length of the beam for receiving a single yarn end from the beam in each dent. A second multiply-dented comb-like member is provided for receiving the second yarn end of each pair in the individual dents thereof for transfer to the individual dents of the first comb-like member. Means are provided for applying heat successively to the pairs adjacent the first comb-like member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
Apparatus for fusing together pairs of thermally deformable yarn ends, each pair comprising a first yarn end wound on a multiple-yarn beam and a second yarn end, the apparatus comprising a first thermally insulating multiply-dented comb-like member releasably mountable adjacent said beam and extending the full length of said beam for receiving a single yarn end from said beam in each said dent, a second multiply-dented comb-like member for receiving the second yarn end of each said pair in the individual dents thereof for transfer of said second yarn ends to the individual dents of said first comb-like member, and means for applying heat successively to said pairs adjacent said first comb-like member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
Apparatus for fusing together pairs of thermally deformable yarn ends, each pair comprising a first yarn end wound on a multiple-yarn beam and a second yarn end, the apparatus comprising a first thermally insulating multiply-dented comb-like member releasably mountable adjacent said beam and extending the full length of said beam for receiving a single yarn end from said beam in each said dent, a second multiply-dented comb-like member for receiving the second yarn end of each said pair in the individual dents thereof for transfer of said second yarn ends to the individual dents of said first comb-like member, and means for applying heat successively to said pairs adjacent said first comb-like member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said means for applying heat comprise a hand-held electric resistance heater.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein each dent of said first comb-like member comprises a portion removed from the adjacent edge of said member which is of greater cross-sectional area than portions closer to said edge.
