D01G PRELIMINARY TREATMENT OF FIBRES, e.g. FOR SPINNING (winding or unwinding, conducting or guiding laps, webs, slivers or rovings in general, sliver or roving cans, depositing in sliver or roving cabs B65H; preparation of fibres for paper-making D21)
Introduced: September 1968
Description
D01G covers preparatory processes applied to natural or man-made fibres before they enter the spinning stage. This includes cleaning, carding, combing, blending, and other mechanical treatments that condition fibres to improve their properties for subsequent yarn production. The class encompasses equipment and methods for fibre alignment, matting, and preparation of sliver or roving. Processes that occur after spinning (such as yarn twisting or winding) are excluded and fall under different classifications.
