Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
False-twist device for textile yarn with circular discs arranged on parallel rotatable shafts, characterized in that four such shafts (6,7,8,9) are provided the axes of which are at the corners of an imaginary square, and in that on the shafts (6,8; 7,9) situated diagonally opposite each other, the discs (19,20,23,24; 21,22,25,26) are arranged on the same level, the disc rims being provided with configurations (27) extending at an ascending angle Alpha with respect to the disc surfaces and with profiles (40,40''; 41,41''; 42,42'') and that the disc rim profiles of discs arranged on the same level are complimentary.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
False-twist device for textile yarn with circular discs arranged on parallel rotatable shafts, characterized in that four such shafts (6,7,8,9) are provided the axes of which are at the corners of an imaginary square, and in that on the shafts (6,8; 7,9) situated diagonally opposite each other, the discs (19,20,23,24; 21,22,25,26) are arranged on the same level, the disc rims being provided with configurations (27) extending at an ascending angle Alpha with respect to the disc surfaces and with profiles (40,40''; 41,41''; 42,42'') and that the disc rim profiles of discs arranged on the same level are complimentary.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the discs are arranged on the rotatable shafts in immediate proximity to one another consistent with unimpeded rotation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
Device according to claim 2, characterized in that the axial disc distances are adjustable by means of exchangeable spacers of different axial lengths.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the ascending angle Alpha of the grooves or projections increases by between 1* and 3* for each subsequent disc in direction of yarn movement.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the ascending angle Alpha of the grooves or projections (27) is of the order of 30* + or - 5*.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
