Definitions

  • Another, and important object is to enable the splicing to be done by mechanical means of compact and small bulk so that the operator can hold it with one hand and can manipulate it so held, and which when not being used, will not impede the use of that hand in other work about the machine.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a splicer, embodying and which can be used in the practice of the invention
  • Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively, front and side views, parts being shown in section in Fig. 3;
  • Figs. 4 and 5 are, respectively, detail top and edge views of the base plate and thread cutter
  • Fig. 6 is a view in perspective of the spliced product, shown enlarged;
  • Fig. 7 is a perspective view of another embodiment of my invention.
  • Fig. 8 is a detail view in vertical section with the mechanism in normal position
  • Fig. 9 is a detail view in elevation of the pair of splicing stones of the device of Fig. '7;
  • Fig. 10 is a top plan view showing the position of the splicing stones and thread gripper in the po ition for making the splice.
  • the splice is formed by placing alongside one another substantial lengths of the ends of the two threads to be joined, and twisting them, an adhesive being applied to them, so that when twisted, they are retained in the twisted condition by the adhesive.
  • the union is thus due to both the interlacing by twisting and the adhesive and is thus very strong.
  • the twisting operation reduces the thickness at the overlap or the double portionand thus there is no substantial increase in gauge or diameter of the thread at the splice. Threads thus spliced are fcabled with others to form the finished yarn, and forthis reason are of soft twist. This makes for or enables the production of a frayed end when the strand is cut and that means that no ends are visible in the splice.
  • Figs. 1 to 6 It is a frame of substantially U-shape to arch over the operators hand, to one leg of which is secured a flexible buckle strap, I I, to receive the palm portion of the hand and leave thumb and fingers free.
  • Base plate, I2 is mounted upon the top of frame, I0, a base plate, I2, preferably covered with a friction material such as rubber or cork.
  • Base plate, I2 is provided with two diametrically opposite holes, I3, each with a bevelled edge to form a thread cutter on the lower side, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
  • oscillating plate I4 Pivoted to the lower side of the base is an oscillating plate I4, having two arms, I5, with cutting edges, which respectively pass across the holes, I3.
  • the cutter carrier plate It is provided with an operating arm, I6.
  • the rear portion of frame, I0 is provided with a vertical guide, IT, in which slides the vertical leg of an 'L-shaped arm, I8, which has its end forked to journal a knob, IS, in such mannerthat the latter may be freely rotated.
  • Knob I8 is hollow to provide a chamber for a liquid adhesive.
  • a disk 20 of elastic, friction material with vertical ducts, 2
  • Pressing against the upper face of disc 20 is a disc of sponge material, 22, which serves to control the flow of adhesive from the hollow portion of the knob to the ducts, 2 I.
  • the disc 20 is pressed down upon the flat top of the base plate I2, 3. small amount of adhesive is forced through ducts, 2 I, by the compressing of sponge 22.
  • any suitable means may be provided for introducing adhesive into the knob but a satisfactory method is to providev an inlet hole, 23, covered by a removable rubber band, .24, which encircles knob, I9, and is retained by a deep groove, 25.
  • the hole 23, connects groove, 25, with the interior of the knob.
  • the band 24, effectively seals hole 23, and is easily removed and replaced.
  • thread guides 26 and 21 Mounted upon the sides of frame I 0, are thread guides 26 and 21 and so arranged that they are respectively in line with holes I3 in base plate, I2.
  • Knob support I8 is provided with a cam slot 28, for engaging cutter operating arm, I6. It will be seen that when knob I9 is pushed downward, cutter I4 is caused to slide across holes I3, in base plate, l2, in a cutting operation, and for a purpose to be described.
  • a thread 29, is drawn over guide 26 and under guide 21 into hole l3, and left hanging as shown.
  • the other thread 30 is then drawn over guide 2'! and under guide 26, into theother hole, I 3, and likewise left hanging.
  • Knob I9 is then pushed straight down upon base plate l2, thus gripping the pair of threads between. splicing disc, 20, and base plate l2 and coincidentally cutting the free ends of the threads by the action of cutters, I4.
  • the knob istwisted about one-third of a revolution and a twisted splice results, adhesive being applied in the manner heretofore described, as the operation proceeds.
  • the device shown in Figs. 7 to 10 issimple, dependable and easily operated for uniting the ends of yarns or threads.
  • the operations of severing the ends to produce a lap of predetermined length, applying adhesive and rolling neighboring fibers into one compact strand is accomplished by a simple motion of the thumb and may be performed very rapidly and easily.
  • that has a hande, 32.
  • a plane or flat splicing member, 33 of stone, and arranged to reciprocate up and. down in contact with stone 33 is another plane or fiat member 34, of stone.
  • carrier plate 35 is a cam plate.
  • Plate 35 is provided with a cam 40, and a lip 4
  • carrier plate 35 On the lower end of carrier plate 35 is a projection 4
  • a thread gripper stem 43 Secured to frame 3
  • Said stem is of spring or resilient material.
  • slide 45 Mounted upon stem 43, is a slide 45, that carries a stone 46, which by a spring 41 yieldingly holds gripper stone 46 against gripper stone 44.
  • Slide 45 has a lip or projection 48 in position to coact in succession with the bevel or cam 40, and lip 4
  • a spring 49 acting on handle 31 returns the handle moved parts to the normal inactive position shown in Figs. 7 and 8.
  • adhesive reservoir 50 mounted upon the outside of casing 3
  • Valve mechanism including a valve 52, normally held closed by spring 53 and actuated by lever 54, which in turn is operated by rotary cam 55, mounted upon handle 36, provides a positive and measured flow of adhesive upon each stroke of handle, 36.
  • splicing stone 34 is narrowed and its opposite edges are bevelled to insure a sharp outer edge 56, along the narrow portion, as shown at 55.
  • a pair of threads is laid between splicing stones 33 and 34 with their free ends lying between grippers 44 and 45 and the handle 36, is pressed downward by pressure of the thumb of the hand 7 to which handle 3 is strapped. Stone 34 being thus freed from stop 42, presses against stone 33, and lip 43 permits grippers 44 and 46 to grip the free ends of the threads.
  • Cam 55 rocks lever 54, and opens valve, 52, to deliver adhesive to the stones.
  • Stone, 34 in completing its stroke, rolls, or twists the two strands into a compact adhesive-bound splice, which is delivered or rolled free at the top edge of stone 33.
  • a twister device having means for severing the ends of adjacent threads to provide a lap of predetermined length, means to apply adhesive to said threads and means for intertwining the fibers of said threads in a splice.
  • a splicer having means to twist overlapped thread ends and means to supply an adhesive thereto before twisting.
  • a splicer having means supporting and twisting two thread ends alongside one another, means severing the thread extremities and means supplying an adhesive to at least one thread overlap.
  • a splicer having a pair of thread gripping surfaces, relatively movable and having friction surfaces that act to intertwine the fibers of ad jacent strands by frictional contact with said strands, and means to apply adhesive to strands between the friction surfaces.
