- cam track plate 54 secured to fixed support base 29 is a cam track plate 54 having a cam track 53 which is inclined upwardly from left to right. Riding in cam track 53 is a cam-follower roller 52 which is connected to and carried by one end of a bell crank 50.
- bell crank 50 is pivoted about a pivot stud 44 located at the lower end of an L-shaped mounting bracket 43, the upper end of which is secured to slide bracket 40.
- slide bracket 40 is secured to a stud 134 which is integral with and projects laterally from a cam shoe 34, which rides in the cam track of the traverse cam 32.

At this time, it will merely be pointed out that the yarn guide beak is secured to bracket 60 which is secured to adjustment rod 41 as a collar 45, the position of which on rod 41 is adjustable as by a set screw 46.
- Figure 11 illustrates the condition of the adjustment mechanism when the traverse mechanism has reached the right end of its travel. It will be seen that at the right-end limit of its travel, cam roller 52 has reached its most elevated position, i.e., the upper end of the upwardly inclined cam track 53. As a result, bell crank 50 has moved pivotally in a counterclockwise direction about pivot point 44 and has moved adjustment rod 41 to the left to its leftmost position. This may be seen by comparing the position of bracket 60 in Figure 11 with its position in Figure 10. In other words, as slide bracket 40 is carried by the traverse mechanism toward the right end of the bobbin, the bell crank 50 continuously moves adjustment rod 41 to the left, thereby slowing down the rate at which the guide beak 70 is moved to the right relative to the traverse mechanism.

- Bracket 60 is mounted on and supported by adjustment rod 41 for movement therewith in the axial direction of the bobbin.
- Mounted at the apex of bracket 60 is a yarn guide roller 61 over which the group of eight yarn ends pass on their way to the channelled front end 170 of yarn guide beak 70, as illustrated in Figure 6.
- bracket 60 Mounted in bracket 60 is a shoulder screw 90 on which are mounted a full-bobbin stop plate 91 and a holder plate 95 for the yarn guide beak 70.
- the position of the stop plate 91 is adjustable, as by screws 92 in slot 93. It will be seen that as the end 170 of yarn guide beak 70 rises as the yarn builds up on the bobbin, the apex of the stop plate 91 will come into engagement with stop rod 94 and this will be effective, as by electrical means, to shut off the drive to the bobbin.
- the yarn guide beak 70 is mounted adjustably, as by screws 74, to the beak holder plate 95 which is an angle plate, as seen best in Figure 8.
- Mounted in plate 95 is a pivot stud 96 on which is pivotally mounted a spring-biased lock plate 97 having therein an L-shaped slot 98.
- a stud 68, mounted in bracket 60, is ordinarily positioned within the longer leg of slot 98.
- a cam track and beel crank have been used, not for the purpose of assuring a yarn package of constant diameter as is the purpose of the present invention, but rather for the purpose of providing a tapered yarn package, i.e., a package having inwardly inclined edges.
- Tapered yarn packages have been formed in the prior art by using a bell crank having a cam follower which rides in a cam track, the slope of which is constantly changed during traverse in response to sensing a diameter of the package.
- the angle of inclination of the cam track is increased in such manner that traverse of the yarn guide beak is stopped and reversed at a limit position which is constantly changing, such limit occurring at an ever increasing distance from the end of package.
- the purpose in the present invention is to achieve a yarn package of constant diameter, During the winding of any particular bobbin with the yarn selected, the cam track is fixed. Its slope is, however, adjustable manually to accommodate for different yarn winding conditions.
- the yarn guide beak extends all the way to the package.
- the yarn guide beak is different from that of the usual prior art winding machine.
- the yarn guide beak does not extend inside the imaginary line drawn between the outer edges of the two flanges of the bobbins parallel with the bobbin axis.
- the yarn guide beak does not extend all the way to the package, there is the danger that the yarn ends will stray from their intended location on the package. This possibility is avoided in the mechanism of the present invention by having the yarn guide beak extend all the way to, and ride on, the yarn package as it is built up.

Description
- This invention relates to machines for winding yarns on bobbins.
- The invention relates particularly to a yarn bobbin winding machine having a traverse cam, a traverse cam follower and a yarn guide driven by the cam follower. A machine of this kind is known from DE-A-3 016 662. For controlling the yarn tension this machine comprises a friction roller driven at variable speed, the yarn contacting the periphery of this roller.
- In winding a plurality, for example, a group of eight ends of yarns on a bobbin, it is important that each yarn end be under the same tension and have the same length as the other ends of yarn in the group.
- As is well known, in winding the yarn ends on a flanged bobbin, a yarn guide carrying the group of yarn ends is moved by a traverse mechanism back and forth in a reciprocating manner relative to the bobbin axis. In the prior art mechanism, as the yarn ends reach the bobbin flange and the yarn guide is reversed, the yarn package on the bobbin tends to build up to a greater extent at each end of the bobbin than in the area therebetween, resulting in a yarn package which has an increasingly larger diameter at each end. Conversely, the yarn package on the bobbin may not fill in completely at each end of the bobbin resulting in a yarn package which has a smaller diameter at each end. As viewed in cross section, such as yarn package will be flat in the central portion but will either slope upwardly or downwardly in a curving manner at each end.
- It will be seen from what has been said above that in a yarn package in which the diameter of the package increases or decreases at its opposite ends, some of the ends of yarn will be longer than the others, and each end of yarn will not have exactly the same length nor exactly the same tension as each other end of yarn. This is an undesirable condition and will show up as a defect in the construction in which the yarn package is being used, such, for example, as the reinforcing for industrial or hydraulic hoses.
- The undesirable build-up or fall-off at the ends of the yarn package could be avoided by the use of a traverse cam specially designed for that particular package. But it is highly impractical to have a different traverse cam for each yarn package as would be necessary since the package which results from the winding operation depends upon a number of variables, including type and denier of the yarn.
- An object of the invention is to provide a mechanism for avoiding build-up or fall-off of yarn at the opposite ends of the package which, unless avoided, produces a yarn package having a larger or smaller diameter at each of its ends than it has in the areas therebetween. Thus, in the winding machine of the invention, the traversing mechanism will produce a yarn package of constant diameter.
- In a yarn bobbin winding machine of the type indicated in the prior art portion of claim 1, this object is achieved by the provision of:
- a) a carriage coupled to said traverse cam follower for movement therewith in the axial . direction of the bobbin;
- b) an adjustment element carried by said carriage and mounted thereon for movement relative thereto in the axial direction of said bobbin;
- c) said yarn guide being mounted on said adjustment element; and
- d) means for moving said adjustment element relative to said carriage in a direction opposite to that in which said carriage is being moved by said traverse cam follower
- In a particular embodiment of the invention, the winding machine includes a slide bracket which is carried by the traverse cam back and forth across the length of the bobbin. The pivot point of a bell crank is connected to and carried by the slide bracket. Supported for sliding movement in the slide bracket is an adjustment rod which is pivotally connected to one end of the bell crank. The other end of the bell crank is provided with a cam follower which rides in a fixed cam tract which is inclined in one direction, for example, upwardly from left to right. A yarn guide beak is mounted on and carried by the adjusting rod. In the preferred embodiment, the yarn guide beak extends all the way to the package so that there is no opportunity for the yarn ends to stray from their intended location on the package. As the slide bracket is moved back and forth in a reciprocating manner, it carries with it the bell crank. As the mechanism traverses, for example, from left to right, the cam follower riding in the fixed upwardly inclined track causes the bell crank to pivot continuously in a counterclockwise direction about its pivot point. This causes the upper end of the bell crank to move continuously to the left, thereby pushing the slidable adjustment rod continuously to the left relative to the slide bracket. This moves the guide beak continuously to the left relative to the slide bracket which is moving continuously to the right. A similar result is obtained when the slide bracket traverses from right to left. The cam follower, moving along the fixed downwardly inclined cam track, causes the bell crank to move continuously about its pivot point in the clockwise direction, thereby pushing the adjustment rod continuously to the right relative to the slide bracket which is moving continuously from right to left. As a result of the action described above, build-up of the yarn ends at the two ends of the bobbin is avoided, and a yarn package is obtained having a constant diameter throughout the length of the package.
- While the slope of the cam track is fixed for any particularly winding operation, the angle of inclination or slope of the cam track is adjustable so as to accommodate for different winding conditions and resulting yarn displacement behavior.

- In Figure 1, a plurality of ends of yarns Y, which for discussion will be assumed to be eight ends but which could be some other number, are pulled from a drum or other source of supply (not shown) through a yarn-end separator 11 and under a
yarn support pin 12, as shown in detail in Figure 2. The eight ends of yarn Y are pulled in a downwardly inclined direction, protected by a cover orguide 13, and, as shown in Figure 3, pass through aporcelain eyelet separator 14 mounted in a bracket. The yarn ends than pass under, around, and over a pair of Godetwheels 16 mounted for rotation onskewed shafts 17. The Godet wheels are under adjustable tension by a mechanism shown in Figure 5, which will be described later. The eight yarn ends then travel upwardly, protected by a cover orguard 18, to ayarn bobbin 20 which is driven rotationally by a drive mechanism assembly identified generally byreference numeral 21. Thebobbin drive assembly 21 includes a drive motor which may preferably be a variable speed DC motor. The drive mechanism, and the manner in which it drives theyarn bobbin 20, is well known and will not be described in detail. - Figure 4 is a side elevational view of the machine which is shown to be supported on
adjustable feet 25. Figure 4 shows in dotted line the pair of Godetwheels 16 about which the yarn ends are drawn and theshafts 17 on which the Godetwheels 16 are supported. As indicated, theshafts 17 are mounted in bearing 28 in aplate 27 secured toframe 26. The function of the Godet rolls is to keep the individual yarn ends separate from each other and to provide the desired tension to the yarn ends. - Supported at the upper end of
frame 26 on abase plate 29 is ahousing 30 for the main traverse assembly. Each of the elements of the main traverse assembly shown in Figure 4 are shown and described in greater detail in other figures of the drawing, which will be discussed later. So far as Figure 4 is concerned, it will merely be said that the yarn traverse assembly includes ayarn bobbin 20, abeak guide 70, abeak guide holder 71, ayarn guide roller 61, abracket 60, atraverse cam shaft 31, atraverse cam 32, and acam track plate 54. - Figure 5 which is a view along the line 5-5 of Figure 4 looking in the direction of the arrows, shows the means for adjusting the tension on the Godet
wheels 16. As there shown, mounted on eachGodet shaft 17 is aflat pulley 80 around which abrake band 81, which may be of fabric, or rawhide, or other suitable material, is drawn. The brake band is connected at its two ends to a pair ofbrackets 82 and is tensioned by means comprising aroller 83, aspring 84, anadjustment stud 85, and anadjustment knob 86. - Referring now to Figure 9, secured to fixed
support base 29 is acam track plate 54 having acam track 53 which is inclined upwardly from left to right. Riding incam track 53 is a cam-follower roller 52 which is connected to and carried by one end of abell crank 50. As seen best in Figures 10-12, bell crank 50 is pivoted about apivot stud 44 located at the lower end of an L-shaped mountingbracket 43, the upper end of which is secured to slidebracket 40. - As seen best in Figure 13,
slide bracket 40 is secured to astud 134 which is integral with and projects laterally from acam shoe 34, which rides in the cam track of thetraverse cam 32.Traverse cam 32 is mounted ontraverse cam shaft 31 which is driven by the main drive assembly. Mounted onstud 134 is acam roller 33 and aguide piece 36 which rides in aguide plate 35. - It will be seen that when the
traverse cam shaft 31 is driven by the drive mechanism, thecam shoe 34,cam roller 33, guidepiece 36 andslide bracket 40 are carried back and fourth in a reciprocating manner. - When
slide bracket 40 is carried back and forth in a reciprocating manner, as just described, the bell crank mountingbracket 43 is also carried back and forth, and, since the bell crank 50 is fixed pivotally to mountingbracket 43 atpivot point 44, the bell crank 50 is also carried back and forth. - Supported for sliding movement in
slide bracket 40 is anadjustment rod 41 which is pivotally connected at 51 to the upper end ofbell crank 50. Thus, as bell crank 50 is carried back and forth, as described above,adjustment rod 41 is carried along with it. Secured to and carried byadjustment rod 41 is abracket 60 on which aguide beak 70 is mounted. This will be discussed in more detail later in connection with the description of Figures 7 and 8. At this time, it will merely be pointed out that the yarn guide beak is secured tobracket 60 which is secured toadjustment rod 41 as acollar 45, the position of which onrod 41 is adjustable as by aset screw 46. - In Figure 10, the adjustment mechanism is shown in the condition it assumes when the traverse mechanism is approximately atthe center of its travel.
- Figure 11 illustrates the condition of the adjustment mechanism when the traverse mechanism has reached the right end of its travel. It will be seen that at the right-end limit of its travel,
cam roller 52 has reached its most elevated position, i.e., the upper end of the upwardlyinclined cam track 53. As a result, bell crank 50 has moved pivotally in a counterclockwise direction aboutpivot point 44 and has movedadjustment rod 41 to the left to its leftmost position. This may be seen by comparing the position ofbracket 60 in Figure 11 with its position in Figure 10. In other words, asslide bracket 40 is carried by the traverse mechanism toward the right end of the bobbin, the bell crank 50 continuously movesadjustment rod 41 to the left, thereby slowing down the rate at which theguide beak 70 is moved to the right relative to the traverse mechanism. - In Figure 12, the traverse mechanism and adjustment mechanism have reached the left end of their travel. As cam-
follower roller 52 moved down downwardly-inclined cam track 53, bell crank moved continuously in a clockwise direction aboutpivot point 44, thereby pullingadjustment rod 41 continuously to the right relative to slidebracket 40. Thus, in Figure 12, the cam-follower roller 52 has reached its leftmost limit position, and theadjustment rod 41 has reached its rightmost position. Stated in otherwords, as theslide bracket 40 is carried to the left by the traverse mechanism, bell crank 50 continuously pullsadjustment 41 to the right, thereby slowly down the rate of travel ofbracket 60 and guidebeak 70 relative to the traverse mechanism. - Reference is now made to Figures 7 and 8 which show how yarn guide
beak 70 is mounted onbracket 60 which is mounted onadjustment rod 41.Bracket 60 is a generally triangular bracket having anextension 160 on which a pair ofrollers 60 are mounted. Located betweenrollers 69 is an anti-rotation rod 120, the ends of which are mounted inframe side plates 38, as byscrews 39, as seen in Figure 4. -
Bracket 60 is mounted on and supported byadjustment rod 41 for movement therewith in the axial direction of the bobbin. Mounted at the apex ofbracket 60 is ayarn guide roller 61 over which the group of eight yarn ends pass on their way to the channelledfront end 170 ofyarn guide beak 70, as illustrated in Figure 6. - Mounted in
bracket 60 is ashoulder screw 90 on which are mounted a full-bobbin stop plate 91 and aholder plate 95 for theyarn guide beak 70. The position of thestop plate 91 is adjustable, as byscrews 92 inslot 93. It will be seen that as theend 170 ofyarn guide beak 70 rises as the yarn builds up on the bobbin, the apex of thestop plate 91 will come into engagement withstop rod 94 and this will be effective, as by electrical means, to shut off the drive to the bobbin. - The
yarn guide beak 70 is mounted adjustably, as byscrews 74, to thebeak holder plate 95 which is an angle plate, as seen best in Figure 8. Mounted inplate 95 is a pivot stud 96 on which is pivotally mounted a spring-biasedlock plate 97 having therein an L-shapedslot 98. Astud 68, mounted inbracket 60, is ordinarily positioned within the longer leg ofslot 98. When, during bobbin changes, theyarn guide beak 70 is manually raised to an elevated position,beak holder 95 pivots counterclockwise onshoulder screw 90, as viewed in Figure 8, andstud 68 slides down the long leg ofslot 98 and enters the short leg. This locks the spring-biased piate97 and prevents the guide beak . 70 from falling down during bobbin change. - In some prior art winding mechanisms, a cam track and beel crank have been used, not for the purpose of assuring a yarn package of constant diameter as is the purpose of the present invention, but rather for the purpose of providing a tapered yarn package, i.e., a package having inwardly inclined edges. Tapered yarn packages have been formed in the prior art by using a bell crank having a cam follower which rides in a cam track, the slope of which is constantly changed during traverse in response to sensing a diameter of the package. In other words, in response to the increase of the diameter of the package, the angle of inclination of the cam track is increased in such manner that traverse of the yarn guide beak is stopped and reversed at a limit position which is constantly changing, such limit occurring at an ever increasing distance from the end of package.
- While a bell crank and cam track are used in the present invention, they are used for entirely different purpose and in an entirely different manner than in the prior art. As has already been made clear, the purpose in the present invention is to achieve a yarn package of constant diameter, During the winding of any particular bobbin with the yarn selected, the cam track is fixed. Its slope is, however, adjustable manually to accommodate for different yarn winding conditions.
- It should also be pointed out that in the preferred form of the present invention, the yarn guide beak extends all the way to the package. In this respect, the yarn guide beak is different from that of the usual prior art winding machine. In the usual prior art machine, the yarn guide beak does not extend inside the imaginary line drawn between the outer edges of the two flanges of the bobbins parallel with the bobbin axis. Where the yarn guide beak does not extend all the way to the package, there is the danger that the yarn ends will stray from their intended location on the package. This possibility is avoided in the mechanism of the present invention by having the yarn guide beak extend all the way to, and ride on, the yarn package as it is built up.
