Abstract

A yam creel enclosure with an air re-circulation and filtration system, in which e.g. doors (d) of the enclosure have integral air ducts (g) with outlet slots (h) located in close proximity to the yarn cones (a) to distribute a flow of air to each cone (a) when the doors (d) are closed, the air ducts (g) being then located to receive an air flow within the air re-circulating and filtration system.

Description

2336854 Improved Yarn Creel Creels are widely used in the textile industry
for the mounting of bobbins or cones of yam, enabling the yam to be drawn off and supplied to a textile process such as knitting, warping winding etc.
Enclosed creels with air circulation and filtration as described in BP 2087543 have been successful in the collection of loose fibres (lint) and dust when processing yams such as cotton, wool etc. The use of oscillating air tubes to distribute the air flow around the yam cones as described in German patent P40.30.940.1 have further improved the performance of this type of creel.
The main disadvantage of these current devices is the initial cost and maintenance of the parts for the oscillating air ducts such as motor, crank lever, connecting rods, air ducts, bearings etc., particularly in the contaminated environment within the creel enclosure.
According to the present invention there is provided a yam creel in which the air ducts are stationary when in the operating position. The outlet slot of each air duct being adjacent to the cones, distributing the air flow to each cone within the creel.
A specific embodiment of the invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:- Fig 1 shows a plan view section through A - A (on fig J3) 0 Fig 2 shows an elevation section through B - B Fig 3 shows a general arrangement of the creel Referring to the drawings:- Fig 1 shows a section through the line A - A with cones(A) mounted on pegs (B) on rails (C) door frames (D) pivots at (E) and may be rotated into the open positions as indicated by arrow (F) to give access for re- loading and tying-in the cones. Attached to door frame (d) is duct (G) with outlet slot (H). Slot (H) may be an-led as shown to direct the air flow across the axis of the cones causing minimum disturbance to the yam on the cone and also creating the air flow within the enclosure towards the filter so tat lint entrained in the air flow may be collected on the filter.
Fig 2 shows a section through B - B at the top of the creel with cone (A) on peg (B) mounted on rail (C) a flow of AI is introduced into compartment (H) by fan (1) and exits from the compartment via aperture (J) under which is located duct (G) when the door is closed. Slot (H) extends over the height of the creel compartment delivering a flow of yarn to each cone, only one of which is shown.
7- Fig 3 shows a general arrangement of the creel with air being re circulated by fan into compartment (H) entering duct (G) via aperture (J) exiting from the ducts through slots (H) directing a flow of air to each cone (two only shown, typically eight in each vertical column). Air returns to the fan passing through filter (K) where the lint is collected.

Claims (2)

1. An improved enclosed yarn creel for mounting bobbins or cones of yarn and enabling yarns to be drawn-off and supplied to textile processes such as knitting, warping and winding, said yarn creel comprising stationary air ducts having air outlet slots that are located adjacent to said bobbins or cones and distribute an air flow to each of said bobbins or cones within the creel.
2. An improved enclosed yarn creel substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
