Abstract
Abstract A method of producing a novel deeply creped fabric by using partially bulked yarn. Gyratory (or torque-imparted) partially bulked yarn obtained from a known twisting - heat setting - untwisting process is additionally twisted, or said process is conducted on the pre-twisted yarn to give extra twists to the non-bulked portions, so as to make conspicuous the difference between the bulked and non-bulked portions, and a fabric is woven or knit by using such yarn and is subjected to a creping treatment.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A method of producing a deeply creped fabric comprising imparting an increased number of twists to a partly bulked yarn prepared from a twisting, heat-setting, untwisting process whereby the partly bulked yarn has bulked portions and non-bulked portions arranged alternately along the length of the yarn wherein the number of twists are increased mostly in the non-bulked portions of the yarn thereby making the difference between the bulked and non-bulked portions conspicuous and providing increased retractability for the yarn and manufacturing a fabric from the yarn with the additional twists and subjecting the fabric to a creping treatment.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
98 words
A method of producing a deeply creped fabric comprising imparting an increased number of twists to a partly bulked yarn prepared from a twisting, heat-setting, untwisting process whereby the partly bulked yarn has bulked portions and non-bulked portions arranged alternately along the length of the yarn wherein the number of twists are increased mostly in the non-bulked portions of the yarn thereby making the difference between the bulked and non-bulked portions conspicuous and providing increased retractability for the yarn and manufacturing a fabric from the yarn with the additional twists and subjecting the fabric to a creping treatment.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 whereby 50 to 500 additional twists per meter are applied to the partially bulked yarn.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein approximately 150 additional twists per meter are applied to the partly bulked yarn.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the bulked yarn having the additional twists is used for both the warp and weft of the fabric and the fabric is woven.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the bulked yarn having the additional twists is used for only the weft of the fabric.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the length of one unit of the partially bulked yarn having the additional twists including one bulked and one unbulked portion is approximately 10 to 70 mm.
