WC powder is blended with 0.1 to 1.5 wt% VC and a binder powder, in an amount (3 to 30 wt%) of the blend, the binder consisting essentially of 7.0 to 15 wt%...

Method for joining an upper thread with a lower thread, which includes moving at least one thread regulator from a thread receiving position to a thread delivery position, inserting the threads with the at least one thread regulator into a longitudinal groove formed in a splicing chamber, automatically admitting compressed air laterally into the splicing chamber for splicing the threads, automatic...

A method of and apparatus for binding fiber bundles, as produced in the textile industry. Each of the two fiber bundles is mixed with the other fiber bundle in two regions of the binding and is wound around in a force-locking manner with individual fibers originating from the fiber bundles. The loose ends of the two bundles to be bound are automatically severed during the course of the formation o...

A method of and apparatus for binding fiber bundles which reduces an abrupt cross-sectional course at each end of the fiber bundle resulting from the loose ends of the bundles having been removed. The loose ends are, during the binding operation, severed in a fraying manner by abrasive edges and the frayed bound ends are worked into the resulting binding.

This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for avoiding untwisting during the formation of a binding of two fiber bundles. The rotational direction of deformation members acting on the fiber bundles is selected to be different in different groups of deformation members in order to reproduce or to increase the original twist during the binding operation.
