ABSTRACT:
Air spliced yarn and associated method and apparatus for forming the spliced yarn. The spliced yarn has the ends extending in a common direction laterally of the body of the yarn with the fiber components of the spliced ends of yarn being intimately entangled with each other and forming a commingled projection of entangled fiber components extending laterally from the body of the yarn. The spliced yarn is disclosed for connecting a running package of yarn to a reserve package of yarn as in a yarn creel feeding a bank of yarns to a carpet tufting machine.
The apparatus comprises a hand held manually actuatable air valve for compressed air connected to a housing having a hollow wall. The housing has an open ended passageway therethrough for receiving side-by-side yarn ends facing in the same direction. A series of openings for entrance of compressed air into the passageway extend through the inner wall of the housing for effecting air entanglement of the ends of yarn positioned in the passageway.
