A compound paper yarn manufacturing device includes a Japanese paper roll, a slitter configured to slit a Japanese paper sheet fed out from the Japanese paper roll to form a plurality of Japanese paper tapes, a distributor configured to distribute the plurality of Japanese paper tapes into each single Japanese paper tape, a plurality of pairs of slip rollers formed by providing a plurality of pieces of a pair of slip rollers that feed out each distributed single Japanese paper tape while slipping, and a covering machine including a plurality of single covering units configured to perform, with a first yarn added, false-twisting on the single Japanese paper tape fed out from the pair of slip rollers, and to cover with a second yarn.

Preforms for open structured (lattice) composite tubular members manufactured from large (i.e. high filament count) prepreg yarns on a conventional maypole braiding machine, and subsequently cured to produce fiber reinforced composites of high strength and light weight.

A device for twisting a flat, fibrillated strip for producing artificial turf is disclosed. The device includes a hollow shaft having a central axis of rotation, a deflecting element that is mounted on the hollow shaft and that has a swing region, and a limiting element that is disposed on the hollow shaft. The hollow shaft allows the strip to be continuously passed through a hollow space of the hollow shaft. The deflecting element includes a swing pivot that is offset from the central axis. When the hollow shaft is rotated around its central axis, the swing region of the deflecting element is swung outward from the central axis to a swung-out position. As a result, the strip is rested against the swing region. When the deflecting element is in its swung-out position, the strip is rested against the limiting element that limits the outward deflection of the strip.

The present invention relates to a composite yarn, a preparation method thereof and an elastic fabric, wherein the composite yarn comprises a core yarn and an outer wrapping yarn, wherein the core yarn further comprising at least one piece of elastic filament, and wherein the outer wrapping yarn is made of short fiber, wherein the outer wrapping yarn is spirally wrapped on the core yarn, wherein drafting ratio of the core yarn is 1-1.5 times.

The method of producing a tubular knitted item (10), in particular a leg for a pair of tights, involves preceding the normal basic knit with a start that involves knitting, on only a portion of the needles on p first courses (11, 12) and on all of the needles on q subsequent courses (13, 14), an elastane yarn (21) covered with a water-soluble yarn (22); then, once the item has been knitted, the item undergoes an aqueous treatment, for example combined with dyeing, so as to make the water-soluble yarn (22) covering disappear, whereby the p+q courses (11-14) of knitted elastane that precede the normal basic knit are kept on the edge of the item.

A conductive yarn and an apparatus for making the same are disclosed. The conductive yarn comprises a non-conductive core thread and a fine metal thread wound around the surface of the non-conductive core thread. The fine metal thread is guided by the apparatus to wind around the surface of the non-conductive core thread in a spiral form. The apparatus comprises a base station, an axle on the base station, and a spool set on the axle for twisting the fine metal thread. The core thread passes through the center of the axle, and the axle is driven by a power to drive the spool to rotate, whereby winding the fine metal thread around the surface of the non-conductive core thread so as to form an elastic and flexible conductive yarn.
