Claim 5

A method for obtaining packages for dyeing by twisting and winding processed yarn by an apparatus having a double twisting spindle, a feed roller, a winding angle-adjusting device, a take-out roller and a traverse device, said method including the step of operating the respective members of the apparatus so that a yarn is slackened between the feed roller and the take-up roller and the yarn speed on the delivery side of the feed roller is substantially equal to the yarn speed on the introduction side of the takeup roller, whereby the yarn is wound up while maintaining the yarn tension between the feed roller and the take-up roller below 1 g and the wind density (p) of the resulting package is controlled within the range of 0.1 g/cm 3 ≦ρ≦0.2 g/cm 3 .

Claim 6

A method for obtaining packages for dyeing by twisting and winding processed yarn by an apparatus having a double twisting spindle, a feed roller, a winding angle-adjusting device, a take-out roller and a traverse device, said method including the step of operating the respective members of the apparatus so that a yarn is slackened between the feed roller and the take-up roller and the yarn speed on the delivery side of the feed roller is substantially equal to the yarn speed on the introduction side of the takeup roller, whereby the yarn is wound up while maintaining the yarn tension between the feed roller and the take-up roller below 1 g and the wind density (p) of the resulting package is controlled within the range of 0.1 g/cm 3 ≦ρ≦0.2 g/cm 3 .

Claim 7

An apparatus for twisting and winding yarns on packages including a double twisting spindle, a feed roller for reducing the tension of a yarn coming from the double twisting spindle, an adjustable winding angleadjusting device which is arranged between the double twisting spindle and the feed roller to set a yarn to be wound on the feed roller at a predetermined winding angle comprising a bracket having a long groove stationarily set at a position close to the feed roller, a stationary roller fixed to the bracket, a moving roller, a moving cylinder, a moving roller supporting cylinder, said cylinders being arranged on both the sides of the long groove to confront each other with the bracket and being integrally connected to each other by a clamping screw piercing through the long groove, a spring interposed between the moving cylinder and the clamping screw to movably press the moving cylinder and roller supporting cylinder to both the side portions of the bracket, and a stationary roller fixed on the bracket, said moving roller and stationary roller being arranged so that they are located just below the yarn passage of the feed roller, a traverse device and a take-up roller for winding the yarn on a package.

Claim 8

An apparatus for twisting and winding yarns on packages including a double twisting spindle, a feed roller for reducing the tension of a yarn coming from the double twisting spindle, an adjustable winding angleadjusting device which is arranged between the double twisting spindle and the feed roller to set a yarn to be wound on the feed roller at a predetermined winding angle comprising a bracket having a long groove stationarily set at a position close to the feed roller, a stationary roller fixed to the bracket, a moving roller, a moving cylinder, a moving roller supporting cylinder, said cylinders being arranged on both the sides of the long groove to confront each other with the bracket and being integrally connected to each other by a clamping screw piercing through the long groove, a spring interposed between the moving cylinder and the clamping screw to movably press the moving cylinder and roller supporting cylinder to both the side portions of the bracket, and a stationary roller fixed on the bracket, said moving roller and stationary roller being arranged so that they are located just below the yarn passage of the feed roller, a traverse device and a take-up roller for winding the yarn on a package.

Claim 9

A method for obtaining packages for dyeing by twisting and winding processed yarn by an apparatus having a double twisting spindle, a feed roller, a winding angle adjusting device, a take-out roller and a traverse device, said method including the steps of passing yarn from the double twisting spindle over a stationary roller guide passing the yarn over an adjustable winding angle roller positioning the adjustable winding angle roller to set a yarn to be wound on the feed roller at a predetermined winding angle passing the yarn over the feed roller to the traverse device and subsequently onto a take-up roller whereby the yarn is wound up while maintaining the yarn tension between the feed roller and the take-up roller at a predetermined low level.

Claim 10

A method for obtaining packages for dyeing by twisting and winding processed yarn by an apparatus having a double twisting spindle, a feed roller, a winding angle adjusting device, a take-out roller and a traverse device, said method including the steps of passing yarn from the double twisting spindle over a stationary roller guide passing the yarn over an adjustable winding angle roller positioning the adjustable winding angle roller to set a yarn to be wound on the feed roller at a predetermined winding angle passing the yarn over the feed roller to the traverse device and subsequently onto a take-up roller whereby the yarn is wound up while maintaining the yarn tension between the feed roller and the take-up roller at a predetermined low level.
