Definitions

  • This invention relates to spinning frame cleaners.
  • fly and dust are deposited on the creel boards in such quantities that, unless thecreel boards are frequently cleaned, parts of the fly become attached to the rovings be ing drawn from the creel causing breakages in the drawing rolls or imperfections in the spun yarn. Notwithstandingthe importance of creel board cleaning, such cleaning has heretofore invariably been done manually,
  • the present invention provides automatic means for efi'ecting'the important operation of creel board cleaning, thereby preventing imperfections in the yarn and reducing the amount of labor required in spinning mills.
  • a wiper of'each of the creel boards on which fly is likely to collect, and is moved about substantially the whole upper surfaceof this creel board by means actuated from a power-driv- 3 en part of the frame. .Thus, whenever the operation. 1 V 1

  • a spinning frame creel consisting of superposed creel boards 1, 2 supported in vertical end frames 3. They indicatea part 4 of one of the verticalcontrol rods of the spinning frame which customari- 1y extend upward through the middle of the creel..- The drawings also indicate a roll stand 5 and the lower drawing rolls including a power-driven fluted draft roll 6.
  • Roving bobbins 7 are suspended from the yupper creel board (not shown) and the inof the bobbins 7. i v .”Wi'pers9 rest on'the upper surfaces of the lower and intermediate creel boards 1, 2, and are moved aboutthese surfaces under the lower ends of the bobbins 7 by mechanismdriven from a power-driven part of the spinning frame.
  • the power is takenfrom abelt pulley 10 which is fixed by means of a screw 11 on one end of the powerbelt 14, this pulley lOdrives a pulley 15 fixed ona'shortspindle 17 journalled'in brackets 18 secured to the outer side of one of the end frames 3 of the creel.
  • Pulleys26 are fixed on this vertical shaft a short distance above the. upper surfaces of thelower and intermediate creel boards 1, 2, and'serve to drive endless belts 27 which lie close to the upper'surfaces of the lower and intermediate creel boards 1, 2 and pass around idler pulleys'28 secured to the creel boards.
  • the fixed pulleys 26 and idler pulleys 28 are so positioned that the endless pulley belts 27 have their reaches close to, and at opposite sides of, the middle lines of the creel boards 1, 2, so that the control rods '4 of the spinning frame, one of which is shown inFigs. 1 and 2, pass'between the two reaches of each belt 27.
  • One or more wipers 9 are secured to each endless belt 27 so as to extend outwardly therefrom. In-the form shown in the drawings, two wipers are used on each belt, but this'is not essentiaL.
  • the wipers 9 are long enough to extend 'outwardly from the reaches-of the'belt 27 to the outer edges of the creel board, and outwardly fromthe pulleys 26, 28 substantially to the ends of the creel board, so that, as they travel around on thebelt 27, they wipe substantially the entire surface of the creel board, except the middle. portion of it which. is located inside the belt, that is, between the two reaches of the belt. To provide for wiping this portion, the wipers 9 are provided'with wiping extensions 81 at their inner ends. These extensions 31 are lower'than the main. body of the wiper 9 so that they may pass under the belt 27.
  • a feature of the invention consists in a wiper 9 of a particular con- .struction which I have found to possessspebest illustrated in Figs. 4, 5,6 and
  • the wiper illustrated. has a rigid body 34 in whose lower surface are longitudinal grooves in which are secured strips35-of'felt which do the actual wiping. These strips 35 project some distance fromthe lower surface of the body 34, and two of them extend beyond the inner end of the body to' provide the low wiping extensions 21.
  • In the middle of the inner end of the body is an arcuate recess having substantially the same radius as the pulleys 26, 28.
  • the wiper always extends straight out from the belt and passes around the pulleys without materially changing the tension ofthe belt.
  • the spring 37 draws the belt 27 into the arcuate recess, holding it in firm contact with the spaced beltengaging portions 36 of the body'34, sothat the wiper projects outwardly at right angles to the belt.
  • this arcuate portion of the belt engages the arcuate recess in the body 34 of the wiper, so that the wiper projects radially from this portion of the belt.
  • a creel board on its middle line nearits ends, pulleys on said shafts just above the upper surface of the creel board, an endless belt passing around said pulleys, awiper secured to said belt and extending outwardly therefrom, a low wiping extension at the inner end of said wiper longer than the radius of said pulleys, said extension being flexible and resilient to permit it to pass said shafts and said control rods.
  • wiper having'a body. containing a IQCBSS'III its inner end, and a spring secured to said body and to the belt and tending to draw the belt into said'recess and to hold the inner corners of the body firmly against the belt.
  • a wiper for the creel of a spinning frame comprising a body having an arcuate recess in the middle of one of its ends and a groove means for moving said rigid member so as to move said strips laterally over the entire upper surface of the creel board.
  • a'wiper comprising a strip of wiping material and a rigid member pressing said strip against the upper surface of the creel board, said wiper being secured to said belt, projecting outwardly therefrom, and means for rotating one of said pulleys continuously in one direction.
  • a tension spring in said groove having one end secured tothe block and another end adapted tobe secured to a belt, and a plu- V v rality of longitudinal strips offelt secured to the lower surface of the body, some of which extend beyond the inner end of the body.
