Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) This invention applies to continuous treatment such as heat treatment and dyeing of long fiber products such as filament yarns of synthetic fibers, tows and cloths. The present invention relates to a connecting tool for connecting shaku fiber products to each other and connecting one end thereof to a moving object such as a conveyor.

(Prior Art) When supplying a long fiber product such as filament yarn, tow, and cloth to a processing device, conventionally, the tip of the long fiber product is
It was tied to the end of the guide cloth that had been passed through the processing device in advance or the long fiber product of the preceding lot. Further, in the case of cloth, sewing with a sewing machine was sometimes performed. Further, when there is a conveyor passing through the inside of the processing apparatus, the end of the long fiber product may be tied to a string attached to the conveyor.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, the above-mentioned connection method of connecting long fiber products to each other, sewing with a sewing machine, or connecting the long fiber product to the string requires work by obtaining. It was troublesome.

This invention can connect the above long fiber products to each other or to any moving object by a simple operation, and by adding a simple device, The present invention provides a connecting tool that enables automatic connection of the above.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the connector of the present invention comprises a large outer plate and a small inner plate formed in a V-shaped bent shape, and has a large V-shaped outer plate. Band-plate shaped locking claws are hingedly connected to the inner surfaces of both open side ends of the V-shaped outer plates, and the locking claws at the both ends are urged in a direction in which the locking claws of the V-shaped outer plate are tilted toward the bent side. In addition, stoppers are provided for restraining the locking claws at both end portions from standing up against the biasing force, and the small V-shaped inner plate has a large V-shape.
It is formed in such a size that the locking claws at both ends of the character-shaped outer plate can be pushed inward while being pushed into the inner space of the outer plate.

(Function) A long V-shaped product is sandwiched between a large V-shaped outer plate on one side and a small V-shaped inner plate on the other side, and the bent portion of the inner plate faces the open side of the outer plate. If you push the inner plate into the inner space of the outer plate while pushing the long fiber product at this bent part, the locking claws at both ends will fall inward at the beginning, allowing the inner plate to be inserted. After the end, the locking claw returns to its original position by the urging force to prevent the outer plate from coming out, and between the locking claw at one end of the outer plate and the one end of the inner plate, and the outside. The long fiber product is locked between the other piece of the plate and the other end of the inner plate, and the locking force increases as the tension applied to the long fiber product increases.

(Example) In FIGS. 1 and 2, 10 is an outer plate and 20 is an inner plate, both of which are formed by bending a strip plate into a V-shape. The two pieces 12 and 13 that sandwich the bent portion 11 of the outer plate 10 have the same length, and the included angle is 45 degrees. Each piece 1
The ends of 2 and 13 are bent inward, and stoppers 12a and
Forming 13a. Then, a strip-shaped fixing plate 14 is fixed to the inner surface of the end of the upper piece 12, and the stopper 12a of the fixing plate 14 is fixed.
A strip plate-shaped locking claw 15 is hingedly connected to the side edge of the side, and the locking claw 15 is counterclockwise (an arrow mark) by a torsion coil spring (not shown) interposed between the locking claw 15 and the fixed plate 14. A
Direction), contact with the inner surface of the stopper 12a to prevent rotation, and the tip of the locking claw 15 is directed downward. Similarly, a locking claw 17 is hingedly connected to the inner surface of the end of the lower horizontal piece 13 via a fixing plate 16, the locking claw 17 is biased in the clockwise direction (arrow B direction), and the stopper 13a. It is restrained in contact with the inner side surface, and its tip is directed obliquely upward in a symmetrical manner with the upper locking claw 15. On the other hand, the small V-shaped inner plate 20
The upward piece 22 and the horizontal piece 23 that sandwich the bent portion 21 have different lengths, and the length of the upward piece 22 is set to about 60% of the length of the pieces 12 and 13 of the outer plate 10. The length of the horizontal piece 23 is set to about 60% of the length of the upward piece 22, and the included angle of these pieces 22 and 23 is set to 60 degrees.

In the above structure, hold the outer plate 10 in one hand and
In the opposite hand, sandwich the filament yarn Y descending from above with the outer plate 10 and the inner plate 20,
When the filament yarn Y is pushed by the inner plate 20 between the upper and lower locking claws 15 and 17, the locking claws 15 and 17 are
5), fall inward as shown by (17), the inner plate 20 enters the inner space of the outer plate 10 as shown by the chain double-dashed line (20), and then the locking claws 15, 17 are attached. It returns to the position indicated by the solid line by the force, and the inner plate 20 is sealed in the inner space, and the filament yarn Y is provided between the upper end of the inner plate 20 and the locking claw 15 of the outer plate 10 and the lower end of the inner plate 20. Horizontal piece 13 of outer plate 10
Locked between. Therefore, the ends of the two yarns Y, Y are overlapped with each other, and the overlapping portion is overlapped by the inner plate 20 and the outer plate 10.
The two yarns Y, Y are connected by pushing into the inner space of the. Then, by pushing the inner plate 20 to the side of the outer plate 10, the above connection is broken.

When connecting a yarn Y descending from above to a horizontal conveyor 30 formed by connecting a large number of bars, an arbitrary bar 31
U-shaped catches 32 are projectingly provided on both left and right ends and front stoppers 33 are projectingly provided on the front edge, and the pressing bar 34 in the width direction is dropped into the U-shaped grooves of the left and right U-shaped catches 32, 32. While pressing the bent portion 11 of the V-shaped outer plate 10 on the conveyor 30 with the pressing bar 34, the piston rod of the horizontal air cylinder is pressed.
A magnet 36 is fixed to the tip of 35, the inner plate 20 is adsorbed and held by this magnet 36, the piston rod 35 is projected, and the inner plate 20 can be pushed into the inner space of the outer plate 10.

(Effect of the Invention) In this invention, two large and small V-shaped bent plates constitute an outer plate and an inner plate, and locking pawls that rotate like a hinge are provided at both ends of the large V-shaped outer plate on the opening side. A stopper is provided for urging the locking claw from the inside in the standing direction and restraining the locking claw in the standing state. A small V-shaped inner plate is provided in the inner space of the large V-shaped outer plate. Since it is designed to be pushed in from the side, the long fiber product is sandwiched between the outer plate and the inner plate, and the long plate fiber product is simply pushed into the inner space of the outer plate by the inner plate to form the outer plate. A long fiber product can be connected to. Therefore,
When the ends of the two long fiber products are overlapped with each other, the two long fiber products can be connected by the simple pushing operation described above. Further, when a large V-shaped outer plate is previously fixed to a moving object such as a conveyor, the long fiber product in front of the inner plate is connected by simply pushing the inner plate into the outer plate on the moving object. be able to. The above connection can then be broken by simply extruding the inner plate to the side of the outer plate. Therefore, it is possible to easily automate the connection between the long fiber products and the connection of one end of the long fiber product with the moving object.
