Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO YARN DYEING PROCESSES The present invention relates to methods of and devices for dyeing yam, in particular, although not exclusively, for dyeing textile yam.
Yam for textile manufacture is commonly wound on a perforated tubular or fluted spindle in the form of a bobbin, to form a permeable package through which dye liquor can be circulated during a dyeing process.
During the dyeing process, one or more permeable packages are mounted on perforated spindles in a package carrier, which package carrier is submerged in dye liquor during the dyeing process. After the dyeing process has been completed the package carrier is removed from the dye liquor. The yam bobbins are then individually removed from the perforated spindles.
After removal from the package carrier, the yam bobbins are dried in a drying machine. Generally, the yarn bobbins are manually individually arranged on a conveyor of the drying machine.
The manual process of removing the yam bobbins from the package carrier and arranging them on the conveyor of the drying machine is impractical and time consuming. The numerous perforated spindles, (generally each package carrier comprises about 60 spindles) are long and hinder the access of the workers unloading the bobbins to the bobbins located towards the centre region of the package carrier.
It is an aim of preferred embodiments of the present invention to provide an improved device for and method of dyeing yarn.
The present invention provides an unloading device for a dyeing machine comprising a container designed to be received in a package carrier of a dyeing machine and to receive one or more yam bobbins, in use, wherein removal of said container from said package carrier effects removal of said one or more yam bobbins from said package carrier.

The present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the following drawings, in which :- Figure la is a side elevation of a lifting device; Figure Ib is a plan view of the device of figure la ;
<Desc/Clms Page number 5>
Figure 2a is a side elevation of an alternative loading device; Figure 2b is a plan view of the device of figure 2a; Figure 3a is a plan view of a hook frame of the loading device of figures la and Ib ; Figure 3b is a side view of the hook frame of figure 3a ; Figure 4a is a plan view of a hook frame of the loading device of figures 2a and 2b, and Figure 4b is a side view of the hook frame of figure 4a.
Figures la, Ib, 3a and 3b relate to a loading device and hook frame for use in a dyeing machine having a generally rectangular cross-sectional shape. Figures 2a, 2b, 4a and 4b relate to a loading device and hook frame for use in a dyeing machine having a generally circular cross-sectional shape. Since the two embodiments are essential the same, excepting the shape, like reference numerals are used to refer to like features throughout.
The loading device of figures la and 1 b comprises a substantially rectangular basket 2, which is connected to a hook frame 4 (of figures 3a and 3b) by chains 6. The basket 2 has holes 8 in a base 10 thereof and a pipe 12 extends substantially perpendicular of the base 10. The pipe 12 is situated substantially at the centre of the basket 2.
The basket 2 further comprises positioning nuts 14 located on the base 10. A plurality of rib plates 16 extending longitudinally along the pipe 12 from the base 10 are spaced about the periphery of the pipe 12. The base 10 of the basket 2 further comprises perforation holes 18 to allow dye liquor to seep through the base 10 of the basket 2 in use.
As can be seen from figure 3a, the hook frame 4 for the rectangular basket 2 has a generally H-shaped profile with a hook 20 at the end of each arm of the frame 4.
The frame 4 also has a handle 22 extending from the frame located at the approximate centre of the frame 4.
In operation of the loading device of figures la, Ib, 3a and 3b, each chains 6 of the basket 2 is attached to a respective hook 20 of the hook frame 4. The empty basket 2 is then lifted using the handle 22 of the frame 4 and positioned above a package
<Desc/Clms Page number 6>
carrier 24 of a dyeing machine (not shown). The basket 2 is then lowered into the package carrier 24 such that perforated spindles 26 of the package carrier 24 pass through holes 8 in the base 10 of the basket 2. At the same time a pillar 28 of the package carrier 24 will pass through the pipe 12 of the basket 2. The position of the basket 2 in the package carrier 24 is constrained by the perforated spindles 26, the pillar 28 and the positioning nuts 14.
The pillar 28 of the package carrier 24 comprises rib plates 30, which in conjunction with the rib plates 16 on the pipe 12 constrain rotational movement of the basket 2 within the package carrier 24. The pipe 12 is dimensioned such that there is a close fit between the pipe 12 and the pillar 28.
Once the basket 2 has been positioned in the package carrier 24 the hook frame 4 is removed by separating the chains 6 from the hooks 20. Yam bobbins 32 are then loaded into the basket 2 on the perforated spindles 26. Once loaded with yam bobbins 32, the whole arrangement, including the package carrier and the basket 2 is loaded into the dyeing machine.
During the dyeing process the dye liquor enters the spindles 26 and passes through the permeable yam bobbins 32. Dye liquor also passes though the perforation holes 18 in the base 10 of the basket 2, which produces a more even dye finish.
At the end of the dyeing process the package carrier 24 and the basket 2 are removed from the dyeing machine. To remove the yam bobbins 32 from the spindles 26, each chain 6 of the basket 2 is re-attached to a respective hook 20 of the hook frame 4 and the basket 2 is lifted out of the package carrier 24, which action removes the yam bobbins 32 from the spindles 26 in one quick and simple action. The yam bobbins 32 can then more easily be removed from the basket 2 and placed on a conveyor (not shown) of a drying machine (not shown).
The basket 2 of the lifting device illustrated in figures 2a, 2b, 4a and 4b is essentially the same as that described above with reference to figures la, 1 b, 3a and 3b. However, the basket 2 has a generally circular cross-sectional shape.
The frame 40 of figure 4b varies from the frame 4 of figure 3b and will, therefore, be described below.
Frame 40 has a generally X-shaped profile with struts 42 extending between and connecting adjacent arms of the frame. At the end of each arm of the frame 40 a
<Desc/Clms Page number 7>
first chain 44 is connected. In use of the frame 40 with the circular basket 2, the chains 6 of the basket 2 comprise a hook at the distal end thereof to connect the chains 6 of the basket 2 to the first chains 44 of the frame 40.
A second chain 46 is attached to each strut 42. Each second chain 46 is attached to each strut 42 at a position slightly offset from the centre of the strut 42. The preferred arrangement is for the convenience of installation of the bobbins. Each second chain 46 has a hook 48 at the distal end thereof.
In use, of the frame 40 with the circular basket 2, the hook 48 of each second chain 46 is attached to an eye on the basket 2.
The operating of the loading device illustrated in figures 2a, 2b, 4a and 4b is substantially as described with reference to figures 1 a, 1 b, 3a and 3b and will not be described again.
