ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. The Technical Field
The present invention relates to a sewing yarn with a process for the manufacture of such a sewing yarn.
Sewing yarns are known in a variety of different structures, whether as sewing thread, as air-intermingled yarns, or as core yarns, whereby each of the structures referred to has its individual advantages and weaknesses respectively.
2. The Prior Art
Sewing yarns which are designed as core yarns comprise at least two roving yarns, whereby these roving yarns, at least two in number, designed as core yarns, are processed by twisting to make finished sewing yarn. Each of these roving yarns in this situation has the structure of a core yarn, of such a nature that each roving yarn encompasses at least one core made of a first multifilament yarn component, whereby this core is then spun with a second fiber yarn component. In other words, a roving yarn of this type has a core-enveloping fiber or sheath structure, whereby the core is formed by the interior multifilament core, designated hereinafter as the first core component, and the sheath is formed by a fiber yarn which surrounds the core and is designated hereinafter as the second yarn component or the second fiber yarn component. Because the second fiber yarn component or the sheath component in such known core yarns is intended to cover the first multifilament yarn component, which provides a major part of the strength of the finished sewing yarn, to provide protection against undesirable damage during sewing, persons skilled in the art have hitherto considered it necessary for such thread covering with fiber yarn to be necessarily so dense that the sewing yarn created from two roving yarns must feature, viewed in the cross-section of the sewing yarn, at least about 45 individual fibers per roving yarn, but as a rule between 50 and 88 individual fibers per roving yarn. This leads to a situation, however, in which such core yarns can only be manufactured with relatively high costs expenditure, due to the relatively high usage of fibers yarn.
The object underlying the present invention is to provide a sewing yarn of the type described, which comprises the structure of a core yarn, and which can be manufactured in a more economical manner than hitherto.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
This object is achieved according to the invention by a sewing yarn with the characterisation features described hereinbelow.
