Abstract

19,035. Ryder, H. Aug. 29, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Flyer frames yarns.-Relates to a machine for making core yarn by spinning fibres so that they lie substantially parallel to each other spirally around an untwisted wire core. The yarn produced is described in Specification No. 19,023, A.D. 1906, and the machine incorporates parts of the machine described in Specification No. 18,562, A.D. 1901. The wire is drawn from a spool 14 and passes above a carrier 51, through a groove in a roller 15, Fig. 4, and over a divider 17 to a winding-flyer 8. The flyer and the spool 14 are driven at the same speed from a shaft 5, so that the wire remains untwisted. The fibre is delivered from a trumpet 52 on to the carrier 51, which is driven at an adjustable speed from the main shaft 2 through gears 29,30,31. From the carrier, it passes between rollers 16, 50, under the divider 17, and through a rotating sleeve 18 by which it is spun spirally around the wire. The sleeve 18 is driven through change gear from a gear 53 on the shaft 5. The finished wire then passes around draw pulleys 19 driven from the sleeve by gears 37 .. 40, Fig. 4, over guide-sleeves 20, and is wound on to a spool or bobbin 21. The speed of the draw pulleys may be adjusted relatively to that of the carrier 51, so as to produce any desired draft and tension. The bobbin is driven so as to wind on through gears 26, 25, 24, the latter of which is kept by a spring 27 in frictional contact with the gear 6, which drives the flyer through a wheel 7 on its hub. The gear 26 is splined on a shaft 23 which drives the bobbin and is reciprocated through, the flyer hub by a fork arm on a .nut 47, reciprocated by a right and left handed screw 44 driven from the shaft 5. The spun fibres are stated to be capable of sustaining a proportionate amount of the load to which the core yarn may be subjected.
