CEN'IBJFUGAL SPINNING MACHINE Application filed September 17, 1928, Serial No. 306,470, and in Germany September 21, 1827.
This invention relatesto centrifugal spinning machines for the production of artificial In such machines which are already known, one row of centrifuges is associated with a row of spinning devices. Owing to'this ar-" rangement, the number of the spinning devices and the output of the machine are limit ed. The object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement by means of which the output of the machine may be doubled or even increased to a greater extent.
According to the present invention, a centrifugal spinning machine for the production of artificml silk is provided with a row of spinning devices in which a greater number of such devices than usual are employed, and with two or more rows of spinning centrifuges, whilst one or more rows of guide or conveying rollers or equivalent members are as sociatedwith the said spinning devices and centrifuges. In one construction, the guide or conveying rollers are all disposed upon a single shaft and serve to guide or stretch the threads and to conve them as vertically as possible to the centri gee the threads being passed alternatel to the of centrifuges. this case, of course, the threads are not passed into the spinning tubes or funnels actually vertically but ina somewhat slopin direction. If it is desired to avoid this s oping path of the threads, the rollers may be arranged alternately on two parallel shafts in such a manner that the threads may be conveyed to the rows of centrifuges independently of one another and in a vertical direction. For spinning apparatus, spinnerettes immersed in an open precipitatbath, or spinnerettes in so-called spinning t l ibes, or spinning funnels may be employed, the latter being used for carrying out the stretch spinning process. The usual spinning devices may be employed in this case in association with acidifying apparatus. Particularly suitable spinning devices are described in Patent No. 1,682,7 97 ,granted 'Sept. 4, 1928. If the stretch spinning process is being em ployed, when it is important to draw off the threads uniformly under tension and to take first or second row' care that the threads are introduced as vertlcally as possible into the centrifuges, each of the threads may be passed over two rollers. In this case, the threads may be passed first of all over a lower row of rollers and then over a second row of rollers dis osed above the first row. In this manner, the path traversed by the threads is considerably lengthened, without having to increase the overall size of the machine. 7 All the second row of rollers may be disposed on one shaft only or they may be arranged upon two shafts, those of the first row alternating with those of the second row. In the latter case, the threads may be conveyed in a vertical direction to the centrifuges.
The rows of centrifuges may be arranged accurately one behind the other in such a manner that the casings which protect the centrifu es fit into each other like a chessboard. this case, it is ofadvantage under certain conditions to mount one of the upper rows of conve ing rollers upon transverse shafts so that a the threads may be conducted into the centrifuges along their axes of rotation in spite of the limited amount of space.
One arrangement suitable for the purpose is one in which the spinning centrifuges are arranged in rows, one behind the other and alternately to each other.' By this arrangement, the rear rows of centrifuges, and particularly the introduction of the threads into and changing the spinning pots or spinning pot linings, may be attended to more easily.
For this purpose, the casings for the centrifuges may be formed with five sides when sides'of the rows of spinning devices. The
centrifuges may also disposed in the form of steps which slope upwards.
' Some forms of construction suitable for the purpose in accordance with the invention are illustrated diagrammatichlly by way of 6 example in the accompanying drawings, in
which Figure 1 shows a viscose spinning machine in cross-section.
Figure 2 another form of construction of a similar machine.
Figures 3 and 4 each one form of construction of a stretch spinning machine in cross section.
Figure 5 a plan view showing the centrifuges arranged in the form of a honeycomb.
Figure 6 shows another form of construction of a stretch spinning machine in crosssection.
Referring first of all to Figure I of the drawings, illustrating a viscose spinning machine, the threads pass from the spinnerettes 1 which are supplied from the tube 2- to th spinning bath 3. From the latter,
they are conveyed further by the rollers 6 which are mounted upon a single shaft and are then conveyed alternately through the funnel tubes 7 and 7 to the centrifuges 8 and 8, the latter being surrounded by protecting casings 9 and 9.
Referring now to Figure 2, which shows a machine of a similar kind, the threads from the spinnerettes 1 pass over the rollers 6 to the funnel tubes 7 into the centrifuges 8, while the threads from the spinnerettes 1 pass over the rollers 6' to the funnel tubes 7 into the centrifuges 8'. It will be seen from the drawings that the rollers .6 and 6' are arranged on two parallel shafts, and the rollers 6 are arranged alternately to the rollers 6'. The individual threads may here be conveyed vertically into the axes of the centrifuges 8 and 8'.
In Figure 3, illustrating a machine for carrying out the stretch spinning process, the threads from the spinning apparatus 4 are conducted through the acidifying apparatus 5 and are then drawn ofi by the rollers 6 and 6', and are then conducted through the funnel tubes 7 and 7 into the centrifuges 8 and 8'. The threads pass conveniently around about three-quarters of the circumference of the rollers 6 and 6'.
In Figure 4, which illustrates a machine for the same kind of artificial silk spinning process, the threads pass from the acidifying apparatus 5 and then over the row of rollers 10 to the rows of rollers 6 and 6, these latter being arranged above the rollers 10. Each roller 6 is mounted upon a transverse shaft so as to permit the direction of. the threads to be changed transversely to the plane of travel of the threadsso that the threads may be passed vertically into the funnel tubes 7 of the first row of centrifuges 8.
In Figure 5 the spinning pots 8 and 8' are arranged in rows and each spinning pot is disposed in a protecting casing which is formed with five sides. These casings can thus fit into each other in the manner of a honeycomb. V
In Figure 6 the threads from the acid guides 5 are drawn off by the lower row of rollers 6 and alternate threads are conducted to the rows of rollers 6' and 6", respectively, which are mounted upon parallel shafts. The threads from the upper rows of rollers are conducted to rows of centrifu es located beneath the rows of rollers an arranged in the form of steps sloping upwardly.
