- In the prior art devices for producing cladded yarns on ring spinning machines are described.

US2013040523 was published in February 2013 in the name of The Japan Wool Textile Co. Ltd . It describes a heat-resistant flame-retardant protective suit fabric, which is formed of a spun yarn. The spun yarn for forming the fabric is a two-fold yarn prepared by twisting a first yarn of a uniform blended spun yarn, which is covered by a second yarn on a ring spinning frame. -
DE19804341 was published in August 1999 in the name of Maschinenfabrik Rieter AG . A sliver of staple fibers passes through a drawing unit in which the fibers are extended before the fibers leave the drawing unit by passing between two delivery rollers and are spun into a yarn. Before the delivery rollers an additional yarn is added to the process from a supply package. The additional yarn passes between the delivery rollers and is foreseen to enwrap the fibers. -

If appropriate, the device can be used in a similar way on any other type of spinning frame. Per operative spindle (i.e. spindle foreseen to produce cladding yarn according to the invention) the device comprises a drafting unit with several drafting rollers rotating with different rotational speed. Thereby, the fibers of a roving (sliver of unwound fibers), which passes through the drafting unit, are drawn in a defined manner before they are spun in a conventional manner to a yarn by a traveler revolving around the spindle and wound onto a bobbin which is arranged on the related spindle and which rotates at a lower speed then the traveler. A cladding yarn is added to the spinning process in the region of the spinning triangle where the fibers exiting from the drafting unit are spun into a yarn. In principle the aim is to add the cladding fibers in a way that in the resulting cladded yarn they enwrap the yarn spun from the fibers of the roving.
- A device for making of cladded yarn on a ring spinning frame according to the invention comprises per operative spindle a first creel foreseen to hold at least one bobbin of roving and a second creel foreseen to hold at least one bobbin of cladding yarn. Furthermore, it comprises a draft control device suitable to adjust the draft of a cladding yarn removed from the bobbin of cladding yarn and before the cladding yarn enters the spinning process, respectively cladding process. The draft control device is preferably designed to adjust the draft in the cladding yarn in a flexible manner. In addition the draft control device can be foreseen to provide a force to unwind the cladding yarn from the thereto related bobbin of cladding yarn and/or the deliver the cladding yarn to the spinning, respectively cladding process, where the cladding yarn is cladded around the already spun yarn made out of the roving. If required, several draft control devices can be interlinked to each other such that draft is adjustable simultaneously on different operative spindles. In a preferred embodiment the draft control device is designed to individually interrupt the feeding process of the cladding yarn per spindle, which may be advantageous e.g. in the case of maintenance. Furthermore, the device may comprise a monitoring device to monitor the presence of the cladding yarn and to interrupt the supply of the roving to a related drafting unit if the cladding yarn is not present.
- The cladding yarn is delivered to the spinning process, respectively the cladding process by an injector in the region of the spinning triangle of the spinning process of the roving.The injector is arranged adjustable with respect to the drafting unit of the related spindle, respectively the spinning point, to precisely introduce the cladding yarn into the spinning process. Good results can be achieved because the injector is adjustable with respect to at least two axis which are distanced with respect to each other. Depending on the design the at least two axis are arranged at an angle with respect to each other or are laying in a common plane.
- A space saving arrangement can be obtained, when the second creel is arranged vertically above the first creel. Alternatively, or in addition, the second creel can be integrated in the first creel.
- In an embodiment of the draft control device, the cladding yarn is clamped between at least one drive shaft and a pulley as described hereinafter in an exemplary manner. If required, a pulley guiding means can be present which guides the pulley in lateral direction. Alternatively, or in addition, the pulley guiding means can be foreseen to lift up the pulley from the drive shaft, thereby individually interrupting the influence of the draft control unit on the cladding yarn. Additional details and variations of the draft control device are described hereinafter in connection with the drawings.
- In a variation, the draft control device comprises a first and a second disc arranged at a distance with respect to each other forming a circumferential channel by which the claddingyarn passes to adjust the draft of the cladding yarn.
- Depending on the field of application, the monitoring device may comprise a sensor to monitor the presence of the cladding yarn and an actuator to interrupt the supply of roving when the sensor indicates a faulty state of the cladding yarn. In a low-cost version, the monitoring device can be left away, although in this case the spinning process is not interrupted automatically if a problem with the cladding yarn occurs. In a further variation, the monitoring device is integrated in the draft control device.
- In a preferred embodiment of the monitoring device, the sensor comprises a deflection pulley which is driven by the cladding yarn. The deflection pulley is interconnected to a transducer which provides a signal depending on the rotation speed of the deflection pulley and/or the tension in the cladding yarn. The actuator comprises a receiver suitable to receive and react upon the signal of the transducer, such that in case of a faulty status in the rotation speed of the deflection pulley and/or the tension in the cladding yarn, the supply of the roving is interrupted by the actuator. The monitoring device may comprise an indicator which optically and/or acoustically and/or via a bus indicates a faulty status of the related spinning station. The actuator may comprise or may be interconnected to a blade to interrupt the supply of the roving, e.g., by cutting the fibers of the roving.
- In a preferred embodiment of the monitoring device, the actuator comprises or is interconnected to a wedge, which is arranged in a displaceable manner and can be introduced between the entry rollers of the drafting unit in a defined manner. Thereby the supply of the roving can be interrupted in a secure manner. The wedge can be driven by at least one roller of the drafting unit or a drive shaft therefore. When becoming active the actuator receives a signal from the sensor of the monitoring unit and then the actuator releases the wedge which is then moved between the entry rollers based on the rotation of the entry rollers. The wedge thereby temporarily lifts the entry rollers apart from each other against the force of a spring. When the wedge achieves a final position, its movement is stopped by a block. Depending on the design the wedge can be straight or curved, e.g., sitting on a drive shaft acting upon at least one entry roller.
- In a preferred variation, the draft control device is arranged in a vertical direction below the bobbin of cladding yarn. To improve precision a fiber guiding means may be arranged between the bobbin of cladding yarn and the draft control device guiding the cladding yarn from the bobbin of cladding yarn to the draft control device in a precise manner. Alternatively, or in addition, an eyelet is arranged with respect to the moving direction of the cladding yarn before the draft control device for the cladding yarn taking influence on the interaction between the cladding yarn and the draft control device.
- At least the part of the injector which is responsible to deliver the cladding yarn to the cladding process is arranged movable (travelling) in an oscillating manner with respect to the fiber movement in lateral direction, i.e., parallel to the length direction of the spinning frame. This can e.g., be achieved in that the complete injector, if present the monitoring device and other guiding means for the cladding yarn are arranged travelling. The travelling of the claddingyarn in lateral direction is synchronized with the travelling of the roving with respect to the rollers of the drawing unit. Thereby it is possible to avoid extensive local wear of the rollers for the drafting unit.
- Depending on the field of application and the effects to be achieved, the rollers of the drafting unit can be operated at variable speed, e.g., in that the speed of the entry rollers is increased in a sudden manner and/or the speed of the delivery rollers is reduced in a sudden manner for a defined period of time before both speeds are adapted to their normal value again. Thereby, the supply of the fibers of the roving is altered such that the resulting yarn comprises thereto related slubs which are then cladded by the cladding yarn.
- A method for making a cladded yarn is defined in
claim 15. - If required, the presence, respectively the status of the cladding yarn is monitored by a sensor of a monitoring device. The sensor is interconnected to an actuator foreseen to interrupt the supply of the roving when a faulty status is indicated by the sensor, i.e., when the cladding yarn is not present. The sensor of the monitoring device is preferably arranged between the injector and the bobbin of cladding yarn and the actuator between the entry rollers of the drawing unit and the bobbin of roving.

For the purposes of illustrating the invention, an embodiment that is presently preferred, in which like numerals represent similar parts throughout the several views of the drawings, it being understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific methods and instrumentalities disclosed.

Figure 1 shows adevice 1 for producing cladded yarn in a perspective view from above and the left.Figure 2 shows thedevice 1 according toFigure 1 in a perspective view from above and the right.Figure 3 shows detail E according toFigure 2. Figure 4 is showing detail F ofFigure 3 .Figure 5 shows thedevice 1 according toFigure 1 in a front view andFigure 6 in a side view.Figure 7 shows parts of the device in a reduced manner.Figure 8 shows a monitoring device. - The shown
device 1 incorporates, respectively is mounted on a ring spinning frame (not shown in detail) comprising several spindles arranged lateral to each other in a longitudinal direction of the ring spinning frame. In the herein described drawings, the ring spinning frame and details thereof are shown only when relevant for the description and understanding of the invention. - Per spindle, the ring spinning frame comprises a
drafting unit 2 comprisingseveral drafting rollers 3 rotating with different rotational speed with respect to each other. Thedrafting unit 2 comprises a pair ofentry rollers 4, at least one pair ofintermediate rollers 5 and a pair ofdelivery rollers 6. A roving 7 consisting of parallel not yet spun fibers (not shown in detail) is unwound from a bobbin of roving 8 passes through thedrafting unit 2 before it becomes subject of the spinning process. As the rotating speed of therollers rowing 7 passing through the drafting unit, the fibers are drawn in a defined manner before they leave the drafting unit and are spun in a conventional manner into ayarn 8 by a traveler revolving on a ring around the spindle and wound onto a bobbin which is arranged on the spindle and which rotates at a lower speed then the traveler (not shown in detail). Although in reality the roving 7 has a variable thickness over its length, in the drawings the roving 7 is shown in an exemplary manner as individual line. Instead of a roving 7 in principle consisting of unwound fibers, it is possible to use alternatively or in addition a yarn instead which consists of spun or partially spun elastic and/or non-elastic fibers. - Per spindle a bobbin of roving 8 is arranged vertically above at a distance from the drafting unit mounted on a
first creel 10. From there, the roving 7 is guided to the drafting unit where it enters the above described process. - Furthermore, the
device 1 comprises per spindle a bobbin of claddingyarn 11 which is arranged on asecond creel 12. If appropriate, thesecond creel 12 can be attached to or be integrated into thefirst creel 10. In an embodiment, thesecond creel 12 is arranged vertically above thefirst creel 10. Acladding yarn 13 is unwound from the bobbin of claddingyarn 11 and is guided by guidingmeans 14 to adraft control device 15 which is normally arranged in a vertical direction above thedrafting unit 2 but below the bobbins of roving 8. The guiding means 14 of the here shown variation of the invention incorporates atube 14 which helps to guide the cladding yarn from the bobbin of claddingyarn 11 to thedraft control device 15. As it can be seen, thecladding yarn 13 is unwound from the bobbin of claddingyarn 11 over the top and enter theair tube 14 at the upper end of the bobbin of claddingyarn 11. In the shown variation, theair tube 14 simultaneously acts as holding device for the bobbin of claddingyarn 11. If appropriate theair tubes 14 can be at least temporarily charged with compressed air to convey a loose end of a claddingyarn 13 from the bobbin ofcladdingyarn 11 to the lower end of theair tube 14. This is in particular helpful when preparing the spinning process. - In the shown variation, the
draft control device 15 comprises at least onerotating drive shaft 16 which extends in longitudinal direction (x-direction) of the spinning frame and which interacts with more then one spindle. Thedrive shaft 16 is mounted oncantilever arms 17 which are attached to a frame of a spinning machine. Other ways to support the at least one drive shaft are possible. Further embodiments will be described herein after. Thedrive shaft 16 is driven by an actuator (not visible) at a speed which is adjustable to adjust the tension in thecladding yarn 13 and in relation to the production speed of the spinning frame. During operation, thecladding yarn 13 is clamped between at least onedrive shaft 16 and apulley 18 which is supported by at least onedrive shaft 16 and guided at least laterally by pulley guiding means 19. In the shown variation thepulley 18 is supported by twodrive shafts 16 arranged parallel to each other and rotating in principle at the same speed. To avoid unwanted travelling of the cladding yarn, afirst eyelet 20 is arranged upstream to thedraft control device 15 making sure that thecladding yarn 13 is properly clamped between thepulley 18 and at least onedrive shaft 16. To interrupt the process, the pulley guiding means 19 can be foreseen to act as or form part of a pulley lift up device as schematically shown inFigure 2 . Therefore, the pulley guiding means 19 is attached to a retaining rod 21in a swiveling manner such that thepulley 18 can be lifted up from thedrive shaft 16. This offers the advantage, that the spinning process can be individually interrupted perspindle. - As in the herein shown embodiment the
draft control device 15 may be designed to be responsible for the continuous and accurate feeding of thecladdingyarn 13 to the spinning, respectively cladding process where the cladding yarn is cladded around the already spunyarn 9. Therefore thedraft control device 15 does not only control the draft in the cladding yarn but also provides the force to unwind the cladding yarn from the related bobbin with claddingyarn and delivery of thecladding yarn 13 to theinjector 27. Thecladding yarn 13 is clamped between the at least onedrive shaft 16 and thepulley 18. The resulting force is at least partially responsible to pull thecladding yarn 13 off from the bobbin of claddingyarn 11 along the guiding means 14 and if present across other guiding means. However, the same force is responsible to prevent unwanted sliding of the cladding yarn upstream or downstream.Figure 4 shows in a schematic manner how thecladding yarn 13 is cladded around the spun fibers of the roving 7 forming the claddedyarn 9. In the shown variation the cladding takes place when the fibers of the roving 7 are already spun to a yarn. - Depending on the field of application, the
draft control device 15 may comprise alternatively or in addition two discs (not shown in detail) which are arranged parallel to each other at a certain distance forming a circumferential channel. The two discs are foreseen to clamp thecladding yarn 13 in a defined manner in between the two discs. Each disc may comprise grooves which are arranged in lateral direction, and which are aligned with respect to the grooves of the opposite disc. By adjusting the distance between the two discs, the resistance exerted on thecladding yarn 13 can be adjusted. If required, the discs can be actively driven by at least onedrive shaft 16 as described above. - As visible e.g., in
Figure 3 and shown in more detail inFigure 8 thecladding yarn 13 interacts with amonitoring device 22 which interrupts the supply of the roving 7 when the supply of thecladding yarn 13 is interrupted. In the shown variation, themonitoring device 22 is fully mechanical and comprises aroll 23 which is mechanically interconnected to ablade 24 by alever 25. Thelever 25, the thereto connectedroll 23 and theblade 24 are attached in a swiveling manner to a holdingframe 26. Theroll 23, thelever 25 and the theretointerconnected blade 24 can be moved between a closed and an open position, whereby the in the open position the roving 7 can freely pass across themonitoring device 22 and in the closed position theblade 24 is pressed against the holdingframe 26 and thereby interrupts the supply of the roving 7 to the drafting unit. Good results may be achieved by an adopted version of the monitoring device as described inWO2010/006955 of the same applicant. Theroll 23 acts as sensor as it measures the tension in thecladding yarn 13. Theblade 24 acts as actuator which is interconnected via thelever 25 to the sensor. Therefore, the actuator interrupts the supply of the roving 7 when the tension in the cladding yarn falls below a defined level. - Alternatively, or in addition, the
blade 24 of themonitoring device 22 can be controlled in an electro mechanical manner. Therefore, eachmonitoring device 22 comprises a sensor which monitors the presence of thecladding yarn 13 and if not present or faulty, interrupts the supply of the roving 7 to thedrafting unit 2. - Alternatively, or in addition, the
monitoring device 22 may comprise an indicator which optically and/or acoustically and/or via a bus indicates a faulty status of the related spinningstation. - As visible in
Figure 6 , thedraft control device 15 of the shown variation comprises a first and asecond drive shaft 16 arranged parallel to each other extending in longitudinal direction (x-direction) of the spinning frame (not shown in detail) and rotating simultaneously around their axis in the direction of an arrow A. The first and thesecond drive shaft 16, which are inFigure 6 shown only partially, are supported by acantilever 17 which is attached directly or indirectly to the spinning frame (not shown in detail). Of thecantilever 17 only half is shown, such that the inside becomes visible. As it can be seen, each of thedrive shafts 16 are supported inside thecantilever 17 by a first and asecond bearing bearings 31 in an unwanted manner. The first and thesecond drive shaft 16 are composed from segments which are put together (i.e., interconnected to each other) bybushings 33. Thebushings 33 form in the shown variation on one hand the interconnection (linkage) between two segments of the drive shafts 16 (only one shown) and on the other hand provide abearing surface 34 on the outside which interacts with thebearings cantilever 16. Via thebushings 33 the drive shafts can be interconnected to each other providing modular extensible solution. Anouter surface 35 of thedrive shafts 16 can be equipped with a friction increasing features such as knurls (not shown in detail). As visible in the drawings, thedrive shafts 16 are foreseen to receive apulley 18 which sits between the twodrive shafts 16 and rotates in the opposite direction. Thepulley 18 comprises a circumferential runningsurface 36 which, if required, can be made out of a traction increasing material such as rubber to prevent unwanted slip. Duringproduction cladding yarn 13 runs between at least one of thedrive shafts 16 and thepulley 18 which is foreseen to press thecladding yarn 13 in a controlled manner against the at least onedrive shaft 16 and thereby to adjust the draft of the cladding yarn. As thedrive shafts 16 interact with more then one spindle (here only one of them is shown in an exemplary manner) it is very simple to adjust the draft on all spindles simultaneously. To make sure that thepulley 18 stays on track, on either side of thepulley 18, a pulley guiding means 19 (as e.g., shown inFigure 1 ) can be foreseen. - Furthermore, as among others visible in
Figures 1 to 3 thedevice 1 comprises per operating spindle aninjector 27 which in the invention is arranged in moving direction of the roving 7 behind thedelivery rollers 6 of thedrafting unit 2. As best visible inFigure 3 , theinjector 27 comprises a first and asecond bail cladding yarn 13 to the spinning process, respectively the cladding process. The first and thesecond bail holder 30 which is adjustable with respect to the position where thecladding yarn 13 is introduced into the spinning process. Theholder 30 is itself mounted on anarm 37 which an itself be arranged swiveling with respect to amount 38 interconnected to afastening bar 39 which can be arranged oscillating in x-direction along with themonitoring device 22 which is attached to thesame fastening bar 39. InFigure 3 the oscillation movement of theinjector 27, here parallel to the x-direction, is schematically indicated byarrow 40. - The first and the
second bail cladding yarn 13 takes place at the right position. Theholder 30 shown in the examples is made out sheet metal. Alternatively, or in addition, the holder can be made out of injection molded plastic and/or bent wire. - Rather, the words used in the specification are words of description rather than limitation, and it is understood that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the claims.
