- the faultily picked weft yarn disposal method of the present invention is able to remove a faultily picked weft yarn from the drawing side wasting short length of a weft yarn.

- a main picking nozzle 1 picks a length of a weft yarn 2 for one pick stored on a yarn measuring and storing device, not shown, into a shed 5 of warp yarns 4 every one picking cycle. If the weft yarn 2 is picked normally, a weft feeler 6 disposed on a drawing side opposite a picking side from which the weft yarn 2 is picked detects the arrival of the weft yarn 2 at a predetermined position on the drawing side. A stretching nozzle 10 sucks a leading end portion of the normally picked weft yarn 2 to tighten the weft yarn 2 properly in the shed 5.

- All the auxiliary nozzles 9 of the first to the fifth auxiliary nozzle group are actuated simultaneously to blow the weft yarn 2 floating as shown in 3) of Fig. 1 is blown into a shed 5 of the warp yarns 4. Consequently, a section of the faultily picked weft yarn 3 is separated from the cloth fell as shown in 4) of Fig. 1 and is exposed to air jets jetted by the auxiliary nozzles 9 of the first auxiliary nozzle group, i.e., the leftmost auxiliary nozzle group.

Description
The present invention relates to a method of disposing of a faultily
picked weft yarn in the cloth fell of a fabric on a loom upon the occurrence of a
mispick.
Methods of removing a faultily picked weft yarn from the cloth fell of a
fabric are disclosed in JP-B Nos. 6-27399 and 7-122199. These prior art
methods stops the loom with a faultily picked weft yarn connected to a main
picking nozzle upon the occurrence of a mispick, reverses the loom so as to
open the cloth fell so that the faultily picked weft yarn is released, picks a
weft yarn continuous with the faultily picked weft by the main picking nozzle
to transfer the weft continuous with the faultily picked weft to a drawing
device disposed on a drawing side opposite a picking side, and then the faultily
picked weft yarn is pulled out of the cloth fell along a U-shaped path.
A method of removing a faultily picked weft yarn disclosed in JP-A No.
61-245339 keeps a faultily picked weft yarn connected to a weft yarn
extending in a main picking nozzle upon the occurrence of a mispick, and
draws the faultily picked weft yarn toward a picking side to remove the
faultily picked weft yarn from the cloth fell.
The former method, i.e., the method disclosed in JP-B No. 6-27399 or 7-122199,
needs to waste a great length of a weft yarn to remove the faultily
picked weft yarn; that is, a length of a weft yarn for two picks is necessary to
transfer the faultily picked weft yarn to the drawing device disposed on the
drawing side. Although the latter method, i.e., the method disclosed in JP-A
No. 61-245339, needs only several loops of a weft yarn unwound from a yarn
storage drum of a yarn measuring and storing device, the force exerted on the
faultily picked weft yarn from the picking side does not work effectively as
force for separating the faultily picked weft yarn from the cloth fell, so that
the operation for removing the faultily picked weft yarn is unreliable.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a faultily
picked weft yarn disposal method capable of surely separating a faultily
picked weft yarn from the cloth fell of a fabric upon the occurrence of a
mispick and of disposing of the faultily picked weft yarn with reliability using
the least necessary length of a weft yarn.
With the foregoing object in view, according to one aspect of the
present invention, a faultily picked weft yarn disposal method comprises
steps of stopping a loom with a faultily picked weft yarn kept continuous with
a weft yarn extending from a main picking nozzle upon the occurrence of a
mispick, reversing the loom to open the cloth fell so that the faultily picked
weft yarn is released from the cloth fell, feeding a length of the weft yarn
necessary for making the leading end of the faultily picked weft yarn reach a
faultily picked weft yarn extracting means disposed on a drawing side
opposite a picking side from which the weft yarn is picked into a shed, making
a plurality of auxiliary picking nozzles arranged along a path of a picked weft
yarn jet a fluid to separate the faultily picked weft yarn in a U-shape from
the cloth fell and to make the leading end of the faultily picked weft yarn
reach the faultily picked weft yarn extracting means, and drawing the faultily
picked weft yarn by the faultily picked weft yarn extracting means to remove
the faultily picked weft yarn from the shed.
The length of weft yarn necessary for making the leading end of the
faultily picked weft yarn reach the faultily picked weft yarn extracting means
is fed by making a feed nozzle disposed near the main picking nozzle jet a fluid
to pull out the weft yarn extending within the main picking nozzle, by making
the main picking nozzle jet a fluid to pull out the weft yarn extending within
the main picking nozzle, or by making a feed nozzle disposed near the main
picking nozzle jet a fluid to pull out the weft yarn extending within the main
picking nozzle and making the main picking nozzle jet a fluid to insert the weft
yarn thus pulled out from the main picking nozzle into a shed.
The faultily picked weft yarn extracting means may be a stretching
nozzle or one or two rollers specially designed for taking up the faultily picked
weft yarn.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a faultily picked
weft yarn disposal method comprises steps of stopping a loom with a faultily
picked weft yarn kept connected to a weft yarn extended in a main picking
nozzle upon the occurrence of a mispick, opening the cloth fell so that the
faultily picked weft yarn is released from the cloth fell, jetting a fluid by a
plurality of auxiliary nozzles arranged along a path of the picked weft yarn to
separate the faultily picked weft yarn from the cloth fell, feeding a length of
the weft yarn necessary for making the leading end of the faultily picked weft
yarn reach a faultily picked weft yarn extracting means disposed on a
drawing side opposite a picking side from which the weft yarn is picked into a
shed so that the leading end of the faultily picked weft yarn reaches the
faultily picked weft yarn extracting means, and drawing the faultily picked
weft yarn by the faultily picked weft yarn extracting means to remove the
faultily picked weft yarn from the shed.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, a faultily picked
yarn disposal method comprises steps of: stopping a loom with a faultily
picked yarn kept continuous with a weft yarn extending from a main picking
nozzle upon the occurrence of a mispick; opening the cloth fell of a fabric on
the loom so that the faultily picked yarn is released from the cloth fell; feeding
a length of the weft necessary for making the leading end of the faultily picked
yarn reach a faultily picked yarn drawing means disposed on a drawing side
opposite a picking side from which a weft yarn is picked into a shed; making a
plurality of auxiliary picking nozzles arranged along a path of the picked weft
yarn jet a fluid to separate the faultily picked yarn in a U-shape from the
cloth fell and to transfer the leading end of the faultily picked yarn to a faultily
picked yarn drawing means; drawing the faultily picked yarn by the faultily
picked yarn drawing means to straighten the faultily picked yarn in the shed;
and restarting the loom.
The faultily picked weft yarn disposal method of the present invention
is able to remove a faultily picked weft yarn from the drawing side wasting
short length of a weft yarn. Since the additionally length of a weft yarn is fed
into an open shed by the agency of the auxiliary nozzles, the faultily picked
weft yarn is separated from the cloth fell. Consequently, the leading end of
the faultily picked weft yarn can be surely made to reach the faultily picked
weft yarn drawing means and hence the faultily picked weft yarn can be
removed with reliability. If a stretching nozzle is used as the faultily picked
weft yarn extracting means, any other special device for removing the faultily
picked weft yarn is not necessary, so that work for handling yarns in the
vicinity of the main picking nozzle and for operating devices disposed around
the main picking nozzle is facilitated. If the faultily picked weft yarn is not
damaged and maintains a normal quality, the faultily picked yarn is
straightened in the shed and used as a weft yarn to avoid wasting the weft
yarn. The present invention is particularly effective in weaving a glass fiber
fabric.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present
invention will become more apparent from the following description taken in
connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 shows the sequential steps of a faultily picked weft yarn disposal
method in a first embodiment according to the present invention, in which
faultily picked weft yarn removing operations and angular positions of the
main shaft of a loom where the faultily picked weft yarn removing operations
are to be carried out are indicated in the left end region of the drawing, the
condition of a faultily picked weft yarn in a shed is indicated in the middle
region of the drawing, and the positional relation between a shed, a faultily
picked weft yarn in the cloth fell and a normally picked weft yarn is indicated
in a right end region of the drawing. Fig. 2 shows the sequential variation of
the angular position of the main shaft of the loom during the faultily picked
weft yarn removing operations.
Referring to Fig. 1, a main picking nozzle 1 picks a length of a weft yarn
2 for one pick stored on a yarn measuring and storing device, not shown, into
a shed 5 of warp yarns 4 every one picking cycle. If the weft yarn 2 is picked
normally, a weft feeler 6 disposed on a drawing side opposite a picking side
from which the weft yarn 2 is picked detects the arrival of the weft yarn 2 at
a predetermined position on the drawing side. A stretching nozzle 10 sucks a
leading end portion of the normally picked weft yarn 2 to tighten the weft
yarn 2 properly in the shed 5.
Although the auxiliary nozzles 9 are actuated to separate the faultily
picked weft yarn 3 from the cloth fell after reversing the main shaft of the
loom to an angular position of about 180° in the faulty picking cycle in the
foregoing embodiment, the auxiliary nozzles 9 may be actuated when the
faultily picked weft yarn 3 is released from the warp yarns 4 during the
reverse rotation of the main shaft toward the angular position of about 180°.
The stretching nozzle 10 is in operation during this reverse rotation of the
main shaft of the loom. It is desirable to adjust the timing of the air jetting
operation of the auxiliary nozzles 9 so that the leading end portion of the
faultily picked weft yarn 3 is moved excessively rapidly toward the stretching
nozzle 10 and the leading end portion of the faultily picked weft yarn 3 is
sucked in a bent state into the stretching nozzle 10 when separating the
faultily picked weft yarn 3 from the cloth fell and stretching the faultily
picked weft yarn 3 in a straight line by the agency of air jetted by the
auxiliary nozzles 9.
The faultily picked weft yarn disposal method will be described with
reference to Fig. 1 on an assumption that the auxiliary nozzles 5 of the loom
are divided into five auxiliary nozzle groups each of the two auxiliary nozzles
9.
All the auxiliary nozzles 9 of the first to the fifth auxiliary nozzle group
are actuated simultaneously to blow the weft yarn 2 floating as shown in 3) of
Fig. 1 is blown into a shed 5 of the warp yarns 4. Consequently, a section of
the faultily picked weft yarn 3 is separated from the cloth fell as shown in 4)
of Fig. 1 and is exposed to air jets jetted by the auxiliary nozzles 9 of the first
auxiliary nozzle group, i.e., the leftmost auxiliary nozzle group. Then, the
faultily picked weft yarn 3 is blown gradually toward the drawing side as
indicated by broken lines in 4) of Fig. 1 by air jets jetted by the second to the
fifth auxiliary nozzle group which are actuated sequentially in that order. Air
jetting periods of the second to the fifth auxiliary nozzle group are determined
so that valves connected to the second to the fifth auxiliary nozzle group are
closed immediately before the time when the faultily picked weft yarn 3
separated from the cloth fell is to be moved toward the drawing side to blow
the faultily picked weft yarn 3 toward the drawing side by air jetted by a
residual pressure remaining in pipes connected to the second to the fifth
auxiliary nozzle group. More specifically, if the loom is of a 150 cm in weaving
width and is provided with four auxiliary nozzle groups, the air jetting periods
of the first to the fourth auxiliary nozzle group are 20 ms, 10 ms, 20 ms and
30 ms, respectively. If the air jetting periods are thus determined, the faultily
picked weft yarn 3 can be moved at an appropriate speed, which is effective
in weaving a glass fiber fabric.
Steps of a faultily picked weft yarn disposal method in a second
embodiment according to the present invention are illustrated in Fig. 3. This
method inserts a necessary length of the weft yarn 2 into a shed of the warp
yarns 4 by the main picking nozzle 1 while the main shaft of the loom is being
turned in the reverse direction in a step shown in 3) of Fig. 3 to feed an
additional length of the weft yarn 2. Steps other than that shown in 3) of Fig.
3 are the same as those of the method in the first embodiment previously
described with reference to Fig. 1. In this embodiment, the feed nozzle 7 is not
actuated. Therefore, the weft yarn 2 is moved into the cutting region of the
weft yarn cutter 8 as the slay moves forward by inertia for beating.
Therefore, the operation of the weft yarn cutter 8 is controlled so that the
weft yarn cutter 8 will not function while the weft yarn 2 is in the cutting
region of the weft yarn cutter 8. Thus, the faultily picked weft yarn 3
remains continuous with the weft yarn 2 extending from the main picking
nozzle 1.
Steps of a faultily picked weft yarn disposal method in a third
embodiment according to the present invention are illustrated in Fig. 4. In
this method, the feed nozzle 7 is actuated while the loom is stopped in a step
shown in 2) of Fig. 4 to pull out a necessary length of the weft yarn 2 from the
main picking nozzle 1, and the necessary length of the weft yarn 2 is blown
into a shed 5 by jetting air by the main picking nozzle 1 in a step shown in 3)
of Fig. 4 for reversing the loom to feed the necessary length of the weft yarn 2
into the shed 5. Since the feed nozzle blows the weft yarn 2 in an upward
convex curve out of the cutting region of the weft yarn cutter 8, the weft yarn
2 is not cut at a position on the picking side even if the weft yarn cutter 8
operates. Other steps of this method are the same as those of the method
previously described with reference to Fig. 1.
The leading end of the faultily picked weft yarn 3 may be made to reach
the faultily picked weft yarn extracting means 11 by feeding the necessary
length of the weft yarn 2 after stretching the faultily picked weft yarn 3 by
the agency of the auxiliary nozzles 9, which is particularly effective in
weaving a glass fiber fabric.
In the method previously described with reference to Fig. 1, the
necessary length of the weft yarn 2 can be blown toward the drawing side by
the currents of air jetted by the auxiliary nozzle 9 and the leading end portion
of the faultily picked weft yarn 3 can be sucked into the stretching nozzle 10
without being bent if a resistance against the movement of the necessary
length of the weft yarn 2 toward the drawing side is applied to the necessary
length of the weft yarn 2 so that the necessary length of the weft yarn 2
cannot be easily inserted into the shed 5 when stretching the faultily picked
weft yarn 3 by jetting air by the auxiliary nozzles 9 and the resistance is
removed from the necessary length of the weft yarn 2 after the faultily picked
weft yarn 3 has been entirely separated from the cloth fell and stretched in a
straight line.
A frictional resistance can be applied to the weft yarn 2 by disposing a
curved yarn guide having a cylindrical surface opposite to the feed nozzle 7
with respect to the weft yarn 2 and blowing air by the feed nozzle 7 against
the weft yarn 2 so that the weft yarn 2 is pressed against the cylindrical
surface of the yarn guide. In the method in the second embodiment
illustrated in Fig. 3, which does not blow the necessary length of the weft
yarn 2 in an upward convex curve, keeps the weft yarn cutter 8 inoperative
and keeps the faultily picked weft yarn 3 continuous with the weft yarn 2
extending from the main picking nozzle 1, the necessary length of the weft
yarn 2 may be unwound from the yarn storage drum of the yarn measuring
and storing device by disengaging a yarn holding pin from the yarn storage
drum after the faultily picked weft yarn 3 has been stretched in a straight
line.
The faultily picked weft yarn extracting means 11 may be the
stretching nozzle 10 which uses air currents for pulling the faultily picked
weft yarn 3 or a pair of rollers which nips the faultily picked weft yarn 3
therebetween and rotate to take up the faultily picked weft yarn 3. More
specifically, a pair of rollers are disposed so as to be able to be separated from
each other instead of the stretching nozzle 10, the pair of rollers are
separated from each other in the step shown in 4) of Fig. 1, and the leading
end portion of the faultily picked weft yarn 3 reaches a position between the
pair of rollers. The pair of rollers are rotated after the weft yarn 2 has been
cut and the faultily picked weft yarn 3 has been caught between the pair of
rollers to extract the faultily picked weft yarn 3 from the shed 5. If a suction
nozzle is disposed behind the pair of rollers with respect to a picking direction
and the suction nozzle is operated while the faultily picked weft yarn 3 is
being stretched in a straight line, the leading end portion of the faultily picked
weft yarn 3 can be made easily to reach the position between the pair of
rollers. The faultily picked weft yarn extracting means 11 may be any
suitable well-known extracting means other than the pair of rollers.
Steps of a faultily picked weft yarn disposal method in a fourth
embodiment according to the present invention are illustrated in Figs. 5 and
6. This method does not remove a mispicked yarn 3 and uses the same as a
normal weft yarn. Step 1 for detecting a short pick, step 2 for stopping the
loom, step 3 for reversing the loom, step 4 for jetting a fluid through the
auxiliary picking nozzles and step 5 for sucking the faultily picked yarn are
the same as those illustrated in Fig. 1.
The faultily picked weft yarn 3 is straightened in the shed 5 by suction.
The stretching nozzle 10 serves as a drawing device 14 for holding the faultily
picked weft yarn 3 transferred thereto straight in the shed 5. In step 6, the
main shaft of the loom is reversed to an angular position of about 50° in the
faulty picking cycle. Then, the loom is restarted with the faultily picked weft
yarn 3 held taut at a predetermined tension by the drawing device 14. After
the loom has been started, the faultily picked weft yarn 3 is held by a catch
cord 15 disposed on the drawing side of the loom. In a short time, the faultily
picked weft yarn 3 is cut at a position between the catch cord 15 and the
drawing device 14 by a cutter 16, and a cut portion of the faultily picked weft
yarn 3 is delivered outside by the drawing device 14. The faultily picked weft
yarn 3 continuous with the weft yarn 2 is cut at a position between the
selvedge on the drawing side and the catch cord 15 by a cutter 17. If most
part of the faultily picked weft yarn 3 is damaged by air blown by the feed
nozzle 7 and is incapable of being used as a normal weft yarn 2, the damaged
faultily picked weft yarn 3 is removed entirely by feeding a length of the weft
yarn 2 necessary for one pick from the feed side. The drawing device 14 need
not necessarily be the stretching nozzle 10, but may be a suction device using
a blower or a take-up roller device.
The features disclosed in the foregoing description, in the claims
and/or in the accompanying drawings may, both separately and in any
combination thereof, be material for realising the invention in diverse
forms thereof.
