Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a warp yarn weaving device for selvedge formation in the manufacturing of cloths in weaving looms.
  • the invention refers to a device of this kind equipped with a drive of its own which is independent from the loom main motor.
  • warp yarns of such warp yarn assemblies run through the eye of corresponding smaller healds, divided into two series which are alternately shifted into opposite directions - in a fully similar way to what happens with the heald frames for cloth formation - thereby allowing warp yarns to interweave with weft yarns, according to a specific selvedge weave which is independent from that of the main cloth.
  • Some of such warp yarns can further be interwoven also horizontally, alternately in one direction and in the opposite one in one or more successive picks (in the leno heald weave), becoming twisted on the weft yarns in order to thereby obtain a tighter binding of the same, particularly in the selvedge outer area.
  • the selvedge obtained through these devices in fact is also called “tied” selvedge and withstands fraying better than ordinary selvedges or - the strength thereof being similar - it may consist of a smaller number of warp yarns, thereby allowing reduced false selvedge waste.
  • a warp yarn weaving device for selvedge formation which represents the prior art of reference of the present invention is for example the one described in EP-A-393.467 , the essential elements of which are reported as figs. 1 and 2 in the accompanying drawings.
  • it is in fact effectively suggested to accomplish the opening/closing movement of the warp yarns for selvedge formation through small heald assemblies (L1, L2) which are independent from the system of heald frames (Q) intended for cloth formation and controlled by a system of flexible stays (T1, T2) connected to the main motion of the loom by a single rope (F).
  • the small healds of each assembly (L1, L2) are mounted on shelf arms (B) integral with two posts (M) having alternate rectilinear motion.
  • the toothed wheel (R) hence determines a corresponding lowering of the other post (M2) and of the smaller heald assembly (L2) fixed thereto, thereby effecting the opening and closing movement of the warp yarns running through the central eyes formed in the small healds (L1, L2).
  • a warp yarn weaving device which partially reaches the scope of the invention, is the one described in EP-A-893 522 .
  • the continuous circular motion of the motor 1 is turned into an alternate rectilinear motion of sliders (C) through a particular toothed-wheel system.
  • the warp yarn weaving device of the present invention is shown in fig. 3.
  • the selvedge-forming device according to the invention has a general operative structure fully similar to the one described above with reference to patent EP-393.467 or EP-893.522 , except for what concerns the device operation means.
  • it comprises two small heald assemblies (L1, L2) mounted on shelf arms (B) integral with two posts (M) having alternate rectilinear motion.
  • Motor 1 is connected in an electrical axis with the main motor operating the loom, so as to have the same operation frequency thereof, but the law of motion thereof, the degree of advance/delay of each individual cycle and the width of the corresponding stroke can instead be adjusted at will, even in a different way for each individual device - among multiple devices mounted on the same loom - through a simple software control which implies no mechanical action on the device nor, even less so, on the loom.
  • the information required for such adjustment are supplied, in a manner known per se, by position sensors, Hall-effect sensors or other similar sensors according to the type of control which it is intended to give to the device.
  • the individual selvedge-forming devices of the invention are fully independent and autonomous, so that their implementation on the loom requires no further action, in addition to the electrical connection of motors 1, which is not the simple positioning of the devices in their working position on the supporting crossbar whenever desired and the fixing of the same in the new position.
  • motors 1 which is not the simple positioning of the devices in their working position on the supporting crossbar whenever desired and the fixing of the same in the new position.
  • the warp yarn weaving device of the present invention maintains the same type of operation previously described with reference to EP-893.522 providing however a noticeable improvement of the driving and guiding means of posts M.
  • the toothed-wheel system disclosed in this patent is in fact replaced by a double-grooved pulley 2 and by two corresponding flexible ropes 3, of a non-extendable type, which cooperate therewith in the way detailed below to directly drive rods A parallel to posts M and connected therewith, so as to make up an extension thereof.
  • Rods A are laterally offset with reference to posts M to create between them the space sufficient to house the double-grooved pulley 2, and their mechanical connection with posts M comprises a hinge constraint, so as to allow modest mounting or operation misalignments between rods and posts without inducing inner stresses in said members and with no play in the longitudinal movement direction of the posts.
  • Pulley 2 is keyed onto the shaft of electric motor 1 which provides to operate it in alternate rotational motions.
  • the flexible ropes 3, each housed in a corresponding groove of pulley 2 are restrained in a central point thereof to the same pulley 2 - in diametrically opposite positions - so as to eliminate any possible mutual sliding between the ropes 3 and pulley 2.
  • a particularly effective and quick system to join ropes 3 to pulley 2 is illustrated in figs. 5 .
  • each of ropes 3 consists of two half-ropes 3' and 3" which have, on the pulley side, an eye-shaped end.
  • each rod A is equipped with a lower anchoring site 4 and with an upper anchoring site 5.
  • each of rods A is controlled in its shifting by one or the other of ropes 3, i.e.
  • rods A are constrained to posts M, preferably with a constraint comprising a hinge as seen above, the rods themselves have no degree of freedom and it is hence possible to eliminate with this solution any guide system of the same, which guide system was instead present of course, in both the prior art solutions, in the form of sliding guides of the racks (C).
  • the frictions of the device manufactured according to the invention are hence noticeably reduced over those typical of the prior art, both due to the removal of the guide system of racks or sliders C, and due to the fact that the frictions of the pulley/rope system described above are substantially negligible over those of a toothed wheel/rack system.
  • the device of the invention is further fully free from lubrication problems.
  • rods A work with axial loads and with no intermediate guides, it is naturally necessary that the same have great axial and flexural rigidity, together with as small a mass as possible, since they are members performing quick alternate motion.
  • Preferred materials for the manufacturing of such rods are hence for example carbon fibres, fibre-reinforced plastic materials and the like.
