DEVICE FOR MEASURING TORQUE OF YARN AND THREAD Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC D01H13/32 

FIELD: textiles, paper.

SUBSTANCE: device for measuring the torque of yarn and thread comprises a fixed support connected to the test sample. The fixed support with a scale is mounted in the housing made in the form of a parallelepiped with photosensors mounted in it, which are located on the upper lid circumferentially. In the upper part of the fixed support the rod is mounted with the ability of movement along it. On the end of the rod the test sample of yarn or thread is attached, to which opposite end a T-shaped rod with weights is suspended, which are mounted with the ability to move horizontally along the rod. In the central part of the T-shaped rod the power supply elements are located; the LED is mounted on one end, and the counterweight on the other. Coaxially to the T-shaped rod, under it in the housing, with the ability of vertical reciprocating movement the platform is mounted. For easy transportation and storage of the device in inactive status all the structural elements are stored in the housing.

EFFECT: use of the present invention enables to improve the accuracy of measuring the torque of yarns and threads with simultaneous simplification of the measurement process.
