Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1568811A1] A length of shuttle thread required for embroidery, or during embroidery the needle thread (14), is subjected to heat treatment. Smoothing of the shuttle (11) thread (13) takes placed after filling the shuttle. The thread is pulled over a directly- or indirectly heated surface (23, 47). Alternatively it is irradiated by an infra-red source. It wraps a heated cylinder (47). The angle of wrapping is 30-180[deg], preferably about 60[deg]; other angles are claimed. The thread passes over a heated rail common to all embroidery locations during operation. The thread is moistened before or during smoothing. Components deliver and measure the shuttle thread, passing it over a heated surface for smoothing during tension adjustment. The corresponding embroidery machine is claimed. An independent claim is included for corresponding embroidery equipment.
