Description
This in~ention relates to an apparatus for the irregular treatment o yarn Various apparatuses are already known for the local treatment of yarns such as textile yarns. Such apparatuses can be used for the non-continuous dyeing of textile yarns for the manufacture of fancy yarns.
However, known processes and apparatuses for non-continuous dyeing have various disadvantages. In general, they do not allow dyeing to be carried out during the continuous axial displacement of the yarn at high speed. Moreover, they do not prevent the periodic reproduction of certain effects on the yarn, which causes unsightly faults in the finished articles.
An object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved apparatus for the local treatment of at least one yarn moving axially continuously and, preferably, at high speed. The invention is applicable to all types of yarn, either ~ -textile or otherwise, and it is applicable for other fluid treat~
ments of yarn. It appears, however, to be particularly advan-tageous in the case of non-continuous dyeing of textile yarns, also known as "space-dyeing".
According to the present invention, apparatus for the irregular treatment of at least one yarn comprises a treatment station, first drive means for moving the yarn to be treated continuously in a relatively fixed axial direction through said --~
.j station, a plurality of fluid supply nozzles movably mounted in said treatment station in parallel planes extending substantially perpendicular to the yarn passing therethrough, means for supplying fluid to said nozzles, second drive means for reciprocating said nozzles transversely of said axial direction of movement of said yarn through said treatment station, regulating means for varying ,, , , ' ,'' . .

selectively at least one of the speed of axial movement of the yarn through the -treatment station and the speed of reciprocation of said nozzles while the yarn is moving through the treatment station during the treatment, and control means for shifting the phase of reciprocation of said nozzles with respect to each other and for varying the relative phase shift therebetween during the treatment of said yarn so as to effect the irregular treatment :. , of said yarn.
Preferably, the apparatus also includes means for synchronizing the speed of operation of said second drive means and said control means for shifting the phase of reciprocation of said no~zles, whereby the spacing between successive treatments - .
of the yarn by the fluid from the nozzles is controlled.
One embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:--Figure 1 is a schematic ~iew of treatment apparatus showing drive means for the yarn, f .
~ Figure 2 is a similar view showing the apparatus ., modified ~or treating a plurality of yarns, and Figure 3 is a similar view showing the drive means, regulating means and control means for the nozzles.
Referring first particularly to Figure 1 of the drawings, a yarn 1 to be treated, for example to be dyed locally, is passed :
from an unwinder 2 to a chamber 3. The bottom of chamber 3 is formed into a tank for collecting the excess treatment fluid 4 which is delivered, preferably continuously, by conduits 5 and 6, and a pump 7, to a nozzle 8, For reasons which will become 30 apparent below, conduit 6 has at least one flexible and -,. .

deformabl.e portion 6a in the proximity of the nozzle.
It will be undexstood that the~e are in fact a series of nozzles 8 and associated parts fortreating the yarn 1, as will be described in more detail later.
Nozzle 8 is mounted on a shaft 9 which is substantially parallel to yarn 1 and mounted to pivot in suitable bearings~
The axis of the nozzle is perpendicular to shaft 9, to which is, in addition keyed a lever 10, linked to a rod 11. The other end ~` of the rod is hinged to a plate or lever 12 rotated by means 10 which will be described later with reference to Figure 3. The length of lever 10 and the distance from the pivot of rod 11 to .
the axis of plate 12 are such that one complete rotation of the latter causes a reciprocating oscillation of nozzle 8, during which the axis of the nozzle and, consequently, the jet of fluid, intersects yarn 1.
`~ Of course, if the apparatus is intended for the simul-taneous treatment of a plurality of parallel yarns, the nozzles .~
may each have an oscillation which has a sufficient amplitude :- :
for its jet to intersect all the yarns, or individual nozzles - 20 for each yarn can be provided. In the latter case, 'che treat~
.~. ments carried out on the yarns may differ, provided of course that the treatment fluid collection tanks are isolated from each ` other.
A mechanism is provided for traction of yarn 1, com-prising a bobbin 15 rotated by a motor 16, preferably through S a speed variator 17, Yarn 1, being advanced by bobbin 15, moves ~.
~ axially continuously through chamber 3. Each nozzle effects .~ oscillations of constant amplitude but of a frequency and phase relationship with other nozzles which can be adjusted, as will . 30 be described with reference to Figure 3.
., .

,. , ". , ~ :
.
When pump 7 delivers fluid to a nozzle 8, the jet from the latter periodically intersects the yarn, thus treating the latter locally. In other words, the jet of fluid sweeps along an area, in this case a vertical plane, through which the yarn moves and which is substantially perpendicular to the latter Means for periodically varying the velocity of yarn 1 in chamber 3 will now be described, again with reference to Figure 1. Although a suitable variator 17 can be used, it is preferable, particularly if bobbin 15 is to turn at high speed, to have this bobbin turn at constant speed and to use other means for varying the speed of the yarn.
At the outlet of chamber 3, yarn 1 passes through three yarn-guides 18, 19 and 20, yarn-guides 18 and 20 being fixed and preferably aligned with bobbins 2 and 15. The intermediate yarn-guide 19 is mounted at one end of a lever 21 oscillating about a pivot 22 and the other end of which carries a roller 21a, caused to remain in contact with a rotating cam 23, for example by means of a spring 21b. The cam could have any suitable profile, for example circular and eccentric relative to its rotational ` 20 dri~e shaftO This rotational drive is provided by a motor 24 'J~ through a variator 25 which can, if necessary, itself have a reduction ratio oscillating about a mean va]ue which the operator can select.
However, if the rotational velocity of cam 23 is constant, pivoting of lever 21 on its axis 22 causes reciprocating motion of intermediate yarn-guide 19 between two extreme positions.
Consequently, if the speed of the yarn between yarn-guide 20 and ~;
take-up bobbin 15 is constant, the length of yarn between fixed yarn-guides 18 and 20 varies periodically, which causes a periodic variation in the speed of the yarn between yarn-guide - 18 and unwinder 2.
o~
Of course, the drive mechanism of the intermediate yarn-guide could be of a different type from the one just des-cribed, provided however that this yarn-guide describes a closed ; or reciprocating path causing periodic variation in the length of yarn between guides 18, 19 and 20. In particular, yarn-guide 19 could be mounted eccentrically at the end of a shaft driven by a motor, the shaft preferably being eccentric relative to the line 18 - 20 and in any case intersecting this line at one point the most.
Where the apparatus is intended for the simultaneous treatment of a plurality of yarns, the traction mechanism for each yarn can still be similar to the one just described, the various mechanisms permitting periodic variation of the speed of the yarns being synchronized or, alternatively, set out of phase, or even having different variation periods. ~ -A modification of the treatment apparatus will now be described, with referénce to Figure 2, in which the treatment apparatus shown is intended for the simultaneous treatment of a plurality of yarns. The same reference numerals have been used '! 20 as before, but increased by the number 100, to indicate the same members as those described above and which will not again be described in detail.
The apparatus is intended for the treatment of four yarns 101 passing from unwinders and advanced by take-up bobbins which are not shownO Each set of four nozzles 108 (only one set being shown for clarity) are mounted on a bar 109 arranged transversely to the direction of motion of the yarns and mounted to slide along its axis in suitable slides. Conduits 106 running from a pump or several pumps 107 have flexible portions 106a feeding nozzles 108.

Bar 109 is linked at one end by means of a rod 111 to a plate or lever 112 rotated by means which will be described ; later with reference to Figure 3. Rotation of plate 112 causes reciprocating motion of bar 109 and the nozzles 108 which it supports. During this motion, the jet from each nozzle 108 -~ intersects the yarn 101 associated with it, or possibly two or " !
~ more of these yarns. It is to be noted that by modifying the . , ; linkage point of rod 111 to bar 109, the point of the paths of the nozzles corresponding to the passage of the jets over the - 10 yarns can be varied. The same result can, of course, be obtained by modifying the position of the nozzles on the bar. The ratio of the distances separating three consecutive treated zones of the yarn can thus be adjusted.
Of course, the mechanism or mechanisms for traction of . ~
;l yarns 101 will advantageously be of the type described with ~ reference to Figure 1, and the velocity of variations of the : ! :
yarns in chamber 103 may be synchronized or, conversely, `~ independent.
`~ Means will now be described for producing an irregular arrangement o the treated zones to obtain a yarn bearing groups of stains.- To avoid the transposition of these groups of stains, the same frequency is imparted to the oscillations of all the nozzles.
A variation in the frequency of the oscillations of the nozzles will bring about a variation in the density of the groups of stains, but will cause superimpositions and transpositions of the stains at hiyh frequencies, To avoid this fault, the stains of a same group should keep between them a spacing inversely proportional to the density of the groups of stains on the yarn. In other words, the stains must move nearer each . ~

other when the fre~uency of the oscillations increases and vice-versa. It is therefore desirable to make the oscillations of the nozzles out of phase and to synchronise the variations in the oscillation frequency of the nozzles and the variations in the phase-shift of these oscillations.
Figure 3 shows an embodiment enabling the required result to be obtained r in the case of three nozzles positioned on the path of a same yarn.
This figure does not show the whole of the apparatus for local treatment of the yarn, which is substantially identi- ~
cal to that shown in Figure 1, but only the particular mechanism ~-for driving the rods 11 or 111.
A single motor 213, with variable speed, drives the --three nozzles (not shown) at a same frequency by means of various linkages, comprising pulleys 221, 222 and 223 and belts 221a, ` 222a and 223a corresponding respectively to the first, second and third nozzles~
To adjust the distance between the stains deposited by each nozzle on the yarn to be treated, a phase shift is applied to the oscillations of the first and the third nozzles symmetri~
cally relative to the oscillations of the second nozzle. To do this, the paths of pulleys 221a and 223a are modified by two additional pulley systems 224 and 225. The belts are tensioned by spring devices 226.
Pulley systems 224 and 225 are both attached to an - oscillating shaft 227 and the pulleys are themselves arranged ~;
symmetrically of each other relative to shaft 227. The positions of pulley systems 224 and 225 are such that any action on shaft ~
227 causing a positive phase shift in one of the nozzles causes ~ i an equal but negative phase shift in the other. Thus, by acting _ 7 _ ~
: ' , ~, , : . .

on shaft 227, variations are obtained in the distance between the zones treated by each of the nozzles.
; To maintain between the treated zones of a group a distance inversely proportional to the frequency of the oscilla-tions of the nozzles, a detector 228 defines continually the position of shaft 227 and regulates accordingly the velocity of motor 213 through a synchronisation box 229. A single control, represented schematically by devicé 230, permits simultaneous and synchronised action on shaft 227 and on motor 213.
Control 230 can be of various forms, in accordance with the role of the machine and in accordance with the required effect, and in accordance with the manner~ manual or mechanical, in which it i5 to be operated. Of course, a regular effect will be obtained on the yarn by locking this control in a position predefined by a scale. To obtain irregular effects ! control 230 will transfer a cyclic motion or other continually varying motion, for example from a judiciously selected magnetic record-s ing.
Other embodiments of the invention will be apparent 20 to a person skilled in the art, the scope of the invention I being defined in the appended claims.
