Abstract (en)

[origin: US4388801A] A process and apparatus for producing a twisted elastic thread in which an elastomeric thread of substantially 154 dtex to 310 dtex, is adhesively twisted with two yarns. The thickness of each of the two yarns is substantially of 100 to 12,500 dtex, and the yarns preferably are OE yarns of polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl cyanide, polyacrylonitrile and/or wool threads, preferably produced by the rotor process. Prior to twisting, the yarns are surface-swelled under a vacuum between substantialy 0.1 and 0.2 bar in superheated steam at substantially 70 DEG C. for up to ten minutes for loosening purposes. During twisting, a pre-tension is imparted to the elastomeric thread with respect to the yarns. Such pre-tension is imparted to the elastomeric thread only a predetermined time after starting the twister, and the elastomeric thread is pre-tensioned by substantially 2 to substantially 5 times compared with the yarns.
