Abstract
Abstract A decorative composite non-plied frieze yarn for use in embroidering, sewing and the like. The composite yarn includes a core formed from a single plied frieze yarn having a spiral wrap of a decorative metallic yarn applied in a first rotational direction thereto and subsequently a non-metallic cover yarn spirally applied thereover in a second opposite direction. The single ply frieze core yarn itself includes a non-metallic core strand about which a first metallic strand is spirally wrapped in a first direction and subsequently about which a non-metallic cover yarn is wrapped in a second opposite rotational direction. Accordingly, the present composite frieze yarn includes three non-metallic strands and two metallic strands.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
The method of forming a relatively heavy composite metallic frieze yarn suitable for use in embroidery, sewing and the like comprising, feeding a single ply frieze yarn of the type having a non-metallic core yarn about which a metallic yarn is initially spirally wound in a first rotational direction and thereafter about which a non-metallic cover yarn is spirally wound in a second opposite rotational direction in a generally longitudinal path to a first wrapping station, spirally wrapping a metallic yarn about said frieze yarn in said first rotational direction at said first station, thereafter directing said frieze yarn to a second wrapping station displaced longitudinally downstream from said first station, spirally wrapping a non-metallic cover yarn about said frieze yarn in said second direction and subsequently taking up the non-plied composite frieze yarn thus formed.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
136 words
The method of forming a relatively heavy composite metallic frieze yarn suitable for use in embroidery, sewing and the like comprising, feeding a single ply frieze yarn of the type having a non-metallic core yarn about which a metallic yarn is initially spirally wound in a first rotational direction and thereafter about which a non-metallic cover yarn is spirally wound in a second opposite rotational direction in a generally longitudinal path to a first wrapping station, spirally wrapping a metallic yarn about said frieze yarn in said first rotational direction at said first station, thereafter directing said frieze yarn to a second wrapping station displaced longitudinally downstream from said first station, spirally wrapping a non-metallic cover yarn about said frieze yarn in said second direction and subsequently taking up the non-plied composite frieze yarn thus formed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 1 wherein both said metallic yarns and said cover yarns are single strands.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 2 wherein both said non-metallic and said cover yarns are formed of synthetic resin fibers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
96 words
A relatively heavy non-plied decorative metallic, composite frieze yarn suitable for use in embroidery, sewing and the like comprising a composite core yarn including a non-metallic core yarn about which a first metallic yarn is spirally wound in a first rotational direction and over which a first non-metallic cover yarn is spirally wound in a second opposite rotational direction, said composite core yarn having a second metallic yarn spirally wrapped thereover in one rotational direction and a second non-metallic cover yarn spirally wrapped thereover in a second direction opposite to that of said one rotational direction.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
96 words
A relatively heavy non-plied decorative metallic, composite frieze yarn suitable for use in embroidery, sewing and the like comprising a composite core yarn including a non-metallic core yarn about which a first metallic yarn is spirally wound in a first rotational direction and over which a first non-metallic cover yarn is spirally wound in a second opposite rotational direction, said composite core yarn having a second metallic yarn spirally wrapped thereover in one rotational direction and a second non-metallic cover yarn spirally wrapped thereover in a second direction opposite to that of said one rotational direction.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
The composite frieze yarn of claim 4, wherein said first and said one rotational directions are the same.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
The composite frieze yarn of claim 5, wherein said core yarn and said cover yarns are of the same material and said metallic yarns are of the same material.
