Cable twisting device forms yarns into balloons - around twisting cups arranged at each end of packages from which yarns are fed

摘要

A cable twisting device comprises several yarn packages carried on rockable cradles mounted on hollow shafts on which are carried twisting cups arranged on opposite sides of the cradles with their large dia. ends adjacent. Yarns pass from their packages towards a return device at one end of the machine, the yarns passing through the hollow shafts and being guided around the packages by guide rolls on the associated cradles. From the return device the yarns pass back to the other end of the device and pass through guides between adjacent cradles so that the yarns cross the axis of the device between each cradle and are formed into balloons around each cradle. The device produces a high twist level and operates at high speed.
