Machine for air-jet texturizing of continuous synthetic filaments

Claim 1

In a machine for the air-jet texturizing of synthetic continuous filaments, said machine having a plurality of texturizing nozzles which are connected to compressed air; the texturizing nozzles having channels directed in a vertical direction; supply mechanisms for guiding at least two synthetic continuous filaments to each nozzle, said supply mechanism being located with their axes parallel to the longitudinal plane of said machine; an improvement comprising at least two supply mechanisms for each nozzle, each supply mechanism supplying a continuous filament, said supply mechanism being located in a common plane directed at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal middle plane of the machine, said supply mechanisms being offset with respect to each other in their plane in the longitudinal direction of the machine; a vessel which is filled with compressed air, said vessel extending over the entire length of said machine, said vessel serving to supply said texturizing nozzle; and a nozzle box attached to the vessel, said nozzle box containing said texturizing nozzles which are located on both sides of said vessel, said texturizing nozzles being located in the plane which is formed by said supply mechanisms, said vessel supplying the texturizing nozzles from at least one branch; said nozzle box having a plurality of openings corresponding to the number of said filaments for guiding said filaments toward said nozzles to prevent their coming into contact with each other prior to entry into said jet nozzle channels.
