ABSTRACT:
Friction false twist device is of the class comprising three parallel equiangularly spaced shafts each having a set of equally axially spaced friction discs, the discs of the sets being arranged so that they overlap substantially when viewed axially and a strand passing through the centre of the device follows a zig-zag spiralling path from one disc rim to the next. The improvement comprises having one set of discs as a datum set with its shaft fixed to a support member with a flat reference surface from which the shaft projects. The two other shafts are carried on respective pivotal arms each with a flat undersurface seated on the flat reference surface of the support and the distance between the shaft axis and a pivot axis of the arm is the same for both shafts. The pivot axes of the two arms are equally spaced from each other and from the shaft axis of the datum set of discs, so that the distances between the latter axis and the axes of the two other shafts can be adjusted while keeping equal spacings.
