Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to an apparatus which is adapted for automatically fastening the leading end of a yarn or wire in the course of being reeled, directly to the core of a conventional reel, without the aid of any adhesive tape, or any like additional fastening means. The operation of the apparatus according to the invention is such that the leading end of the yarn or wire fastened to the reel core will not protrude from the reel winding, whereby the leading end of the yarn or wire will not cause any problem to arise, due to its interference with parts of a machine using the yarn or wire, which is, for example, required with the steel wires for the manufacturing of tyre carcasses.
- The features of the apparatus according to the invention, and the advantages arising therefrom will clearly appear from the following specification of one preferred embodiment thereof, which is shown merely by way of a non limiting example in the Figures of the annexed one sheet of drawing, in which:
- Figure 1 is a plan view with parts in section, showing the apparatus in an intermediate operative condition.
- Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line II-II in Figure 1, showing some constructional details of the said apparatus.
- Figure 3 is a side view with parts in section, showing further details which do not appear in the view according to Figure 1.
- Figure 4 is a diagrammtic, side elevational view showing different, significant angular positions that the clamping and cutting device in the apparatus according to the invention, is caused to assume.
- In Figure 1, numeral 1 denotes the center counterhead of a yarn or wire winding machine, which is rotatably fitted onto one end of a stem 2 being axially guided in
cylinder 3 and being prevented from rotating in said cylinder by a key 4 and a groove 5, the said stem being provided upstream and downstream of said groove withpistons 6, 7 which are operated in a tightly sealed relation with the inner lateral surface ofcylinder 3, having the ends closed by a disc 8 and a flange 9 which are provided with respective seals, the whole arrangement being such that twopressure chambers 10, 11 are formed at the interior of said cylinder, which can be alternately connected through suitable ducts and circuits to a pressurized air delivery source, or to a discharge, in order to promote the forward and rearward movement of the center counterhead, as required for its cooperation with the reel R on which the yarn or wire is being wound. Numeral 12 denotes the frame supporting in a cantilevered manner thecylinder 3, andnumerals 13 and 14 denote the ducts formed in the cylinder itself and in disc 8, for connection ofchambers 10 and 11 with the circuit for axially driving the stem 2. - On that section of
cylinder 3 which overhangingly extends from the supporting frame 12, a collar 17 is rotatably but not axially movably fitted at a short distance therefrom. Numeral 18 denotes the bearings which allow the relative rotation ofmembers 3 and 17. The collar 17 has at least one integral radial ear 19 with a conical seat 20, which is normally engaged by a spigot 21 driven by a cylinder-and-piston unit 22 which is carried by the frame 12. At least twoguide rods rod 23 is not shown in Figure 1 in its real angular position. Slidably mounted onrods ring 27 is provided in front of said member, and is situated at the interior of the space occupied by the saidrods member 24 bysupports support 28 extends radially, away from the annular member 24-ring 27 assembly, in form of a suitably sized arm, which carries in its upper portion a fluid-pressure operated, double acting cylinder-and-piston unit 30 with its axis being arranged parallel to the axis of the center counterhead 1. Secured to the stem ofunit 30 is aconical jaw 31 which is caused to act against a complementalconical jaw 32, that is secured to the body ofunit 30. The device formed by thejaws cutting device unit 30 and the axis of the yarn or wire winding machine is such as to avoid that the said unit may interfere with the flanges of the greater diameter reel R which is usable in the yarn or wire winding machine. - When the apparatus according to the invention is at rest, the annular member 24-
ring 27 assembly is set in its retracted position shown by dash-and-dot lines in Figure 1, and thedevice assembly ear 127 ofring 27, and its body secured to anear 117 of collar 17. - When the said apparatus is set in its operative position shown by solid lines in Figure 1, a friction means 16 of rubber, for example, which through an adjustment means 33 is made integral with the front side of
ring 27, is caused to cooperate by its forepart with a disc 15 which is coaxially integral with the center counterhead 1. - As shown in Figures 1 and 3,
ducts 34 are longitudinally formed incylinder 3 and open into a matching number of respectiveannular recesses 35 being coaxially formed in the inner lateral surface of collar 17, and being isolated the one from the other byannular seals 36. Through ducts 37 (Figure 1) and ducts 38 (Figure 3) which are radially formed in said collar 17, the inlet opening and the outlet opening of the cylinder-and-piston units 25 and 30 are connected to the said annular recesses, so that the said units can be controlled by acting upon thestationary ducts 34. - The operation of the apparatus according to the invention, is as follows.
- Referring also to Figure 4, there is shown that when the apparatus is at rest, the clamping and
cutting device device device device device device sensor 39 secured to frame 12 (Figure 1) is, for example, provided for detecting the angular position of a reference means 40 fixed to collar 17. In phase succession, the actuation is commanded of the cylinder-and-piston unit 30, for closing the clamping andcutting device device device device - The yarn or wire winding machine is then re-started at a low number of revolutions, and the pulley of the yarn or wire guide G is moved toward the right-hand flange of the reel, to the position shown in Figure 1 by arrow Z2, whereupon the same is moved in the reverse direction. The yarn or wire being held by the clamping and
cutting device sensor 42 fixed on frame 12, whereupon the yarn or wire winding machine is automatically stopped. With the yarn or wire winding machine being in stopped condition, thedevice device device - It is to be understood that numerous changes and modifications, the more so in construction, may be brought to the described apparatus, and such changes and modifications may, for example, concern the
friction coupling 15, 16, which may be replaced with a front claw coupling. Further changes may concern the pneumatic distributor incorporated in collar 17, which rather than being of the type with lateral seals, may be of the type with front seals. Further changes may concern the clamping and cutting device, which may be only imparted a shifting movement parallel to the axis of the center counterhead, and may be permanently keyed thereto. Other changes may finally concern the clamping andcutting device
