Description
Aug. 18,1931. w. H. FURNESS ARTIFICIAL SILK MAKING APPARATUS Filed Jan. 11, 1929 BY w 5 ATTORNEYS 7V $4 NVENTOR Patented Aug. 18, 1931 WILLIAM H. FURNESS, OF NATIONAL, PARK, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR T FURHESS CORFORATION, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY ARTIFICIAL SILK MAKING APPARATUS Application filed January 11, 1929. Serial No. 331,?79.
This invention relates to apparatus for making artificial silk.
In general the present invention consists in an improvement upon the arrangement of a my copending application, Serial No. 239,402 filed December 12, 1927, wherein I provide a battery of spindles for forming the thread,
each spindle consisting in the main of a pump,
a spiimeret, a precipitating bath, cap twister mechanism and drawing mechanism for taking the formed precipitated thread and leading it to the cap twister mechanism.
Heretofore I have provided each spindle with an enclosing casing provided with doors giving access to the spindle, the casings being connected to a suction line for withdrawing the fumes.
This arrangement, while quite satisfactory in some respects, is open to the objection that the doors must be opened to ascertain whether or not the spinneret is spinning and the cap twister mechanism is laying the thread upon the spool or other device upon which it is to be laid. Operators must, therefore, be continually looking over the batteries.
The object of the present invention is to make it very easy to determine whether any spindles are not making thread. More specifically it is an object of the invention to make it possible to determine at a glance from one point whether any of the spindles of the battery are not functioning properly, while, at the same time, the fumes are withdrawn from the room.
I accomplish the foregoing, together with such other objects as may appear hereinafter, or are incident to my invention, by means of the construction which I have illustrated in the preferred form in the accompanying drawings, wherein Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic side elevation of a number of spindles of a battery of spindles, and
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of one spindle partially in section.
Referring now to Fig. 1, the reference character A indicates a battery of spindles. With the exception of the drawing wheel 7 which specifically constitutes the subject matter of 5 my copending application Serial No. 331,781
filed January 11, 1929, all of the parts of the spindle are not indicated. For the pur oses of the present invention it sufiices to il1ustrate the drawing wheels.
Around each spindle is a casing 8 provided with a slot 9 in its upper part. The drawing wheels 7 extend above the slot so as to be exposed to View. The fumes are drawn from each spindle through the pipes 10, of which there is one connected to each spindle, and to a main suction line 11. As the fumes are withdrawn from each casing, room or other atmosphere is drawn in through the slot.
Thus, an operator at a glance can determine whether any spindle is not functioning properly. For example, if a spindle is not making thread, there will be no thread on the drawing wheel. If the spindle is making thread, but the thread is not being laid upon the spool, it will accumulate upon the drawing wheel. The operator can thus determine, without moving from a given spot, whether the spindles are functioning properly, while, at the same time, the fumes are withdrawn and no objectionable quantity escapes to the room. The only occasion the operator has to open the door 12 is to remove spools which have become filled, or to restart a spindle which is not functioning properly.
I claim 1. In combination, a battery of artificial silk thread forming spindles, each including a drawing wheel as a part thereof, a casing enclosing each spindle and having a slot in its top above which the drawing wheel extends for exposure to view, and means for drawing ofl' fumes from the casings and for drawing room atmosphere into the casings through said slots.
2. In combination, an artificial silk thread forming spindle including a drawing wheel, a casing around the spindle having a slot in its top above which the drawing wheel extends for exposure to view, and means for drawing ofi' fumes from the casing and for drawing room atmosphere into the casing through said slot.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.
WILLIAM H. FURNESS.
