Abstract

The invention concerns a module with tufting tools particularly needles (4), which are cast at one end in a baseplate (1). The length of the baseplate (1) is a multiple of the distance from centre to centre between the cast tufting tools. The baseplate (1) includes at least one perforation in the form of a longitudinal hole (9) which runs perpendicular to the locating strip(s) and which is open at the top edge (14) of the baseplate (1). The baseplate (1) may be symmetrical and have at both its front and rear surfaces (2, 3) a locating surface (6, 7) which locates the module accurately on a sinker. The module, and hence also the cast-in tufting tools, may thus be used in two different rotational positions.

Description

MODUL FÜR TUFTINGWERKZEUGE Beschre ibung MODULE FOR TUFTING TOOLS Description
Die Neuerung betrifft ein Modul für Tuftingwerkzeuge, ins¬ besondere Nadeln, bei dem die Tuftingwerkzeuge mit ihrem einen Ende in einem plattenförmigen Grundkörper eingegossen sind, dessen Länge einem Vielfachen des Mittenabstandes der eingegossenen Tuftingwerkzeuge entspricht, der eine vordere und eine hintere Anlagefläche aufweist, wobei die vordere Anlagefläche an ihrem in Längsrichtung verlaufenden, im Be¬ reich des Austritts der Tuftingwerkzeuge aus dem Grundkö»— per verlaufenden Rand mit einer vorspringenden Anlageleiste versehen ist, und der eine zwischen der vorderen und der hinteren Anlagefläche durchgehende Durchbrechung hat.The innovation relates to a module for tufting tools, in particular needles, in which the tufting tools are cast at one end in a plate-shaped base body, the length of which corresponds to a multiple of the center distance of the cast-in tufting tools, which has a front and a rear contact surface, the The front contact surface is provided with a projecting contact strip on its longitudinally extending edge in the region of the exit of the tufting tools from the base body, and which has a continuous opening between the front and the rear contact surface.
Ein derartiges Modul für eine Tuftingmaschine ist aus EP 0 446 215 bekannt. Bei diesem bekannten Modul hat der Grundkörper auf seiner Vorderseite eine Anlageleiste, die im montierten Zustand an einer Nadelbarre oder einem Teil derselben zur Anlage kommt und eine exakte Ausrichtung des Moduls bezüglich der Nadelbarre ermöglicht. Dieses Na¬ delmodul kann also nur in einer Ausrichtung an der Nadel¬ barre festgelegt werden. Die in einem solchen Modul untet— gebrachten Tuftingwerkzeuge können folglich auch nur in ei¬ ner einzigen Drehsteliung zur Barre Einsatz finden. Wenn es also erforderlich ist, die Tuftingwerkzeuge in einer ande¬ ren, um 180° veränderten Drehsteliung bezüglich der Barre einzusetzen, so ist es erforderlich, Module zu verwenden, in denen die Drehsteliung der Nadeln entsprechend geändert ist. Es müssen dann also zwei Arten von Modulen bereitge¬ halten werden, bei denen die Tuftingwerkzeuge in ihrer Drehstellung um 180° gegeneinander abweichen. Dies erfor¬ dert das Bereithalten verschiedener Module und ist folglich kostenaufwendig.Such a module for a tufting machine is known from EP 0 446 215. In this known module, the base body has on its front side a contact strip, which comes into contact with a needle bar or a part thereof in the assembled state and enables an exact alignment of the module with respect to the needle bar. This needle module can therefore only be fixed in one orientation on the needle bar. The tufting tools accommodated in such a module can consequently only be used in a single rotary setting for the bar. If it is therefore necessary to use the tufting tools in a different rotary setting with respect to the bar, which is changed by 180 °, it is necessary to use modules in which the rotary setting of the needles is changed accordingly. Two types of modules must then be kept ready, in which the tufting tools deviate from one another in their rotational position by 180 °. This requires various modules to be kept available and is consequently expensive.
Jeder Grundkörper ist dabei mit einer Durchbrechung in Form eines durchgehenden Lochs versehen, durch das eine Schraube zur Befestigung des Moduls an der Barre oder dergleichen hindurchgeführt werden kann. Das Einsetzen eines solchen Moduls und sein Ausbau erfordert, daß die Schraube aus dem Loch zu diesem Zweck zunächst ganz herausgenommen wird.Each base body is provided with an opening in the form of a through hole through which a screw to attach the module to the bar or the like can be passed. The insertion and removal of such a module requires that the screw is first completely removed from the hole for this purpose.
Die der Neuerung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe besteht insbeson¬ dere darin, ein Modul zu schaffen, das bei einfachem Aufbau leicht und schnell eingebaut bzw. entnommen werden kann.The task on which the innovation is based is, in particular, to create a module which can be installed and removed easily and quickly with a simple construction.
Diese Aufgabe wird neuerungsgemäß bei einem Modul der ein¬ gangs erwähnten Art dadurch gelöst, daß die Durchbrechung durch mindestens einen vom oberen Rand des Grundkörpers ausgehenden Ausschnitt gebildet ist.According to the innovation, this object is achieved in a module of the type mentioned at the outset in that the opening is formed by at least one cutout starting from the upper edge of the base body.
Dies hat zur Folge, daß es für den Ein- und Ausbau eines solchen Moduls nicht mehr erforderlich ist, Schrauben ganz aus Durchbrechungen in den Modulen zu entfernen. Vielmehr reicht es aus, derartige Schrauben leicht zu lösen. Die Mo¬ dule können dann aus ihrer Montageposition entnommen bzw. in diese wieder eingeführt werden. Die Zahl der Durchbre¬ chungen ist nach den jeweiligen Gegebenheiten frei wählbar.The consequence of this is that it is no longer necessary for the installation and removal of such a module to remove screws completely from openings in the modules. Rather, it is sufficient to loosen such screws easily. The modules can then be removed from their assembly position or reinserted into them. The number of breakthroughs can be freely selected according to the particular circumstances.
Das neuerungsgemäße Modul kann so ausgebildet sein, daß der Ausschnitt die Form eines an seinem einen Ende offenen Langlochs hat.The new module can be designed so that the cutout has the shape of an elongated hole open at one end.
Das neuerungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß der Ausschnitt zu einem Seitenrand des Grundkörpers hin durchgehend offen ist. Dabei ist dann zweckmäßigerweise an beiden Seitenrändern des Grundkörpers je ein zum Seitenrand hin offener Ausschnitt vorgesehen. Diese Ausschnitte können eine Schraube zur Fixierung des Moduls aufnehmen. Die Aus¬ schnitte können beim Zusammenwirken zweier nebeneinander liegender Module gemeinsam die Form eines Langloches haben, durch das eine Schraube hindurchgeführt werden kann, um auf diese Weise zwei Module jeweils im Bereich einer Seiten¬ kante festzulegen. Zweckmäßigerweise wird jedes Modul an beiden Seitenkanten in gleicher Weise arretiert. Das neuerungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß er mindestens zwei Reihen von parallel angeordneten Tuftingwerkzeugen aufweist, wobei die Werkzeuge der einen Reihe gegenüber denen der benachbarten Reihe versetzt sind. Auf diese Weise lassen sich feinere Teilungen bei dem Tuf- tingvorgang erzielen.The module according to the innovation can also be designed such that the cutout is continuously open to a side edge of the base body. In this case, a cutout that is open toward the side edge is then expediently provided on both side edges of the base body. These cutouts can accommodate a screw to fix the module. When two modules lying next to one another interact, the cutouts can have the shape of an elongated hole through which a screw can be passed, in order in this way to fix two modules in the region of one side edge. Each module is expediently locked in the same way on both side edges. The module according to the invention can also be designed such that it has at least two rows of tufting tools arranged in parallel, the tools of one row being offset from those of the adjacent row. In this way, finer divisions can be achieved in the tufting process.
Das neuerungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die Tuftingwerkzeuge der verschiedenen Reihen in einem gemeinsamen einstückigen Grundkörper angeordnet sind.The new module can also be designed so that the tufting tools of the different rows are arranged in a common one-piece base body.
Das neuerungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die Tuftingwerkzeuge in lösbar miteinander verbundenen, einen Grundkörper bildenden Abschnitten angeordnet sind.The module according to the innovation can also be designed such that the tufting tools are arranged in sections which form a base body and are detachably connected to one another.
Schließlich kann das neuerungsgemäße Modul so ausgebildet sein, daß der Grundkörper auch an seiner hinteren Anlage¬ fläche mit einer Anlageleiste versehen ist. Diese Ausbil- düng kann es ermöglichen, die im Modul eingegossenen Tuf¬ tingwerkzeuge wahlweise in zwei 180° gegeneinader verdreh¬ ten Positionen zum Einsatz zu bringen. Damit kann die Zahl der erforderlichen Werkzeuge gegenüber der hierfür bisher erforderlichen Praxis halbiert werden.Finally, the module according to the innovation can be designed such that the base body is also provided with a contact strip on its rear contact surface. This training can make it possible to use the tufing tools cast in the module optionally in two positions rotated 180 ° relative to one another. This means that the number of tools required can be halved compared to the practice previously required for this.

Fig.10 eine Seitenansicht des Moduls nach Fig. 9 und10 shows a side view of the module according to FIGS. 9 and
Fig.11 eine Draufsicht auf das Modul nach den Figuren 9 und 10.11 shows a plan view of the module according to FIGS. 9 and 10.
Das in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte Modul hat einen Grundkörper 1 mit einer vorderen Anlagefläche 2 und einer parallel dazu verlaufenden hinteren Anlagefläche 3. In den Grundkörper 1 sind die Kolben von Tuftingnadeln 4 eingegos¬ sen.The module shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a base body 1 with a front contact surface 2 and a rear contact surface 3 running parallel thereto. The pistons of tufting needles 4 are cast into the base body 1.
Der Grundkörper 1 ist zu einer mittig zwischen der vorderen Anlagefläche 2 und der hinteren Anlagefläche 3 verlaufenden Symmetrieebene 5 symmetrisch ausgebildet. Er hat in dem Be¬ reich, in dem die Tuftingnadeln 4 aus dem Grundkörper 1 austreten, je eine gegenüber den beiden Anlageflächen 2,3 vorspringende Anlageleiste 6,7. Diese Anlageleisten 6,7 ha¬ ben jeweils eine Anschlagschulter 8, die im montierten Zu¬ stand an eine Nadelbarre oder Teile derselben angeschlagen wird und damit das Modul bezüglich der Nadelbarre ausrich- tet.The base body 1 is formed symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry 5 running centrally between the front contact surface 2 and the rear contact surface 3. In the area in which the tufting needles 4 emerge from the base body 1, it has one contact strip 6, 7 projecting over the two contact surfaces 2, 3. These contact strips 6, 7 each have a stop shoulder 8 which, in the assembled state, is struck against a needle bar or parts thereof and thus align the module with respect to the needle bar. tet.
Die Achsen der Tuftingnadeln 4 liegen parallel zueinander in der Symmetrieebene 5 des Grundkörpers 1.The axes of the tufting needles 4 lie parallel to one another in the plane of symmetry 5 of the base body 1.
Der Grundkörper 1 ist mit einem Langloch 9 versehen, das sich normal zu den Anlageleisten 6,7 erstreckt. Es ist an dem den Anlageleisten 6,7 gegenüberliegenden Rand 10 des Grundkörpers 1 offen. Das Langloch 9 geht dabei von der vorderen Anlagefläche 2 bis zur hinteren Anlagefläche 4 hindurch. Somit kann der Grundkörper 1 und damit das ge¬ samte Modul im Bereich des Langloches 9 auf den Schaft ei¬ ner Schraube oder dgl . aufgeschoben oder von diesem abgezo¬ gen werden.The base body 1 is provided with an elongated hole 9 which extends normally to the contact strips 6, 7. It is open at the edge 10 of the base body 1 opposite the contact strips 6, 7. The elongated hole 9 extends from the front contact surface 2 to the rear contact surface 4. The base body 1 and thus the entire module can thus be placed in the area of the elongated hole 9 on the shaft of a screw or the like. be postponed or withdrawn from it.
Aufgrund der beschriebenen symmetrischen Ausbildung kann dieses Modul in zwei Drehstellungen an einer Barre festge¬ legt werden, wobei die Drehstellung der Nadeln entsprechend mit geändert wird.Because of the symmetrical design described, this module can be fixed in two rotational positions on a bar, the rotational position of the needles being changed accordingly.
Die in den Figuren 3 bis 5 beschriebene Ausführungsform des neuerungsgemäßen Moduls weist zwei parallele Reihen von Tuftingnadeln 4 auf, die um eine halbe Teilung gegeneinan¬ der versetzt sind. Das Modul hat einen Grundkörper 11 mit einer vorderen Anlagefläche 12, einer hinteren Körperfläche 13, einem oberen Rand 14 und einem unteren Rand 15. Im un¬ teren Bereich der vorderen Anlagefläche 12 ist eine Anla¬ geleiste 16 vorgesehen, die mit der vorderen Anlagefläche 12 eine Schulter 17 bildet.The embodiment of the module according to the invention described in FIGS. 3 to 5 has two parallel rows of tufting needles 4, which are offset by half a pitch. The module has a base body 11 with a front contact surface 12, a rear body surface 13, an upper edge 14 and a lower edge 15. In the lower region of the front contact surface 12 a contact strip 16 is provided which is in contact with the front contact surface 12 forms a shoulder 17.
Von dem oberen Rand 14 geht mittig ein nach oben offenes Langloch 18 aus.From the upper edge 14 a slot 18 opens upwards in the middle.
Der erwähnte Versatz der beiden bei dieser Ausführungsform vorgesehenen Nadelreihen 18a,20 macht es erforderlich, daß der Grundkörper 11, wie insbesondere die Figuren 3 und 5 verdeutlichen, in einen die hintere Nadelreihe 18a aufneh¬ menden hinteren Abschnitt 19 normal zu den Nadelachsen ver— setzt ist gegenüber dem die vordere Nadelreihe 20 aufneh¬ menden vorderen Abschnitt 21.The aforementioned offset of the two rows of needles 18a, 20 provided in this embodiment makes it necessary that the base body 11, as is particularly illustrated by FIGS. is opposite the front section 21 receiving the front row of needles 20.
Die so ausgebildeten Grundkörper 11 können in beliebiger Zahl nebeneinander angeordnet werden, wobei der Nadelab¬ stand in jeder Reihe über die Trennlinie zwischen benach¬ barten Modulen gleich bleibt.The base bodies 11 formed in this way can be arranged side by side in any number, the needle spacing in each row remaining the same across the dividing line between adjacent modules.
Der Grundkörper 11 bildet in seinem oberen, hinteren Be- reich 22 eine Schulter 23, die als Anschlagfläche Verwen¬ dung finden kann.The base body 11 forms a shoulder 23 in its upper, rear region 22, which can be used as a stop surface.
Das Modul gemäß der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 6 bis 8 weicht von der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 3 bis 5 lediglich dadurch ab, daß hier in einem Grundkörper 24 zwei parallele Langlöcher 25 vorgesehen sind, die zum oberen Rand 14 hin offen sind.The module according to the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 8 differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 to 5 only in that here two parallel elongated holes 25 are provided in a base body 24 which are open towards the upper edge 14.
Die in den Figuren 9 bis 11 dargestellte Ausführungsform des neuerungsgemäßen Moduls weicht von den zuvor anhand der Figuren 3 bis 8 beschriebenen Ausführungsformen lediglich dadurch ab, daß hier ein Grundkörper 26 vorgesehen ist, der von seinem oberen Rand 14 ausgehende, zu den Seitenrändern 27 durchgehend offene Ausschnitte 28 aufweist. Wenn man nun Module gemäß dieser Ausführungsform aneinander reiht, so ergänzen sich die Ausschnitte 28 dann benachbarter Module zu einem Langloch. Eine durch ein solches Langloch hin¬ durchgeführte Schraube wirkt dann gleichzeitig auf die bei¬ den aneinanderstoßenden Module ein. Dabei wird zweckmäßi- gerweise jedes Modul an seinen beiden Seitenrändern von ei¬ ner Schraube gehalten, wobei diese Schraube wiederum gleichzeitig auf zwei benachbarte Module wirkt.The embodiment of the module according to the invention shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 differs from the embodiments previously described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8 only in that a base body 26 is provided here, which is open from its upper edge 14 and is continuously open to the side edges 27 Cutouts 28 has. If modules according to this embodiment are now lined up, the cutouts 28 of adjacent modules then complement one another to form an elongated hole. A screw passed through such an elongated hole then acts simultaneously on the two abutting modules. In this case, each module is expediently held on its two side edges by a screw, this screw in turn acting simultaneously on two adjacent modules.
Die beschriebenen Ausführungsformen wurden allein in Ver- bindung mit Tuftingnadeln dargestellt und beschrieben. An Stelle von Nadeln können aber auch andere Tuftingwerkzeuge, insbesondere Looper und Greifer, verwendet werden. B e z u g s z e i c h e nThe described embodiments were shown and described solely in connection with tufting needles. Instead of needles, other tufting tools, in particular looper and gripper, can also be used. References
