CUTTING AND WINDING MACHINE Filed May 26, 1956 3 Sheets-Sheet 2 I l .1 a mainmm ATTORN EY Patented Nov. 23, 1937 UNITED STATES agr- PATET osFieE 23 Claims.

My present invention relates to machinesfor cutting and winding fabrics and it is especially" useful for cutting knitted textile fabrics such as are made of silk, rayon and other materials. It is common practice'to knitthe textile fabrics in the form of a long tube and it is also common to slit the tubular fabric in order to form two strips each the tubular fabric is divided into two fiat strips;v

and the machinealso includes means for rolling up the two strips of fabric formed by the cutting of the tube.

In Letters Patent No. 1,640,833, I described a machine for slitting tubular fabric. The present machine is so designed as to slit the flattened tubular fabric along both crease lines to form two strips of fabric, each composed of half of what was the tube before the slitting operation took place. The machine is also adapted to wind up the strips of fabric and it is adapted to wind the strips with the outside of the fabric turned outwardly on the wound roll, or to wind it up with the outer side of the fabric turned inwardly of the wound roll. The two strips of fabric cut from the same tube may therefore both be wound with the outer side of the fabric on the outside of the roll or, by choice, with the outside of the fabric turned in on the roll. For this purpose the machine is adjustable and convertible from one type of winding to the other.

The operation of adjusting the machine for either kind of winding is very simple and it requires but a moments time to convert it from one kind of winding to the other.

Another object of the invention is to provide very efiicient means for rapidly winding the slit fabric smoothly into even rolls and without injury to the fabric, even though it be of a delicate nature such as knitted rayon.

Another object of the invention is to provide simple means for exerting different pressures upon the fabric which is being wound, in order to wind the' fabric as tightly or loosely as desired and according to the nature of the fabric. The present machine may be quickly adjusted to regulate the pressure on the fabric and the adjustment may be made either while the machine isat rest or while it is in operation.

Another object of the invention is to provide -a machine in which the rollers may be very easily showed and and rapidly inserted in and removed from the machine.

Another object is to provide means for exerting pressure upon the fabric as it is wound and without increasing friction or causing binding in the bearings .of the winding mandrels.

Other objects and advantages will be set fort in the following detailed description of my invention.

In the drawings I have shown a machine mounted one frame consisting pricipally of the two end standards I, 2 with a longitudinal'connecting member 3. Adjacent one end of the machine there is shown a motor 4 as a source of power, alth'ough it will be understood that any other source of power maybe employed for operating the machine; The shaft of the motor is provided with a pulley 5 which operates the belt 6 and the latter in turn revolves the pulley l and with it the main shaft 8 from which the power is distributed to the various moving parts of the machine.

There is a small gear 9 on this latter shaft which drives a larger gear I0 carried upon a shaft I l. On the same shaft I i there is fixed a sprocket Wheel i2 which drives an endless chain Hi. The

, mediate pinion I l.

latter also engages around the sprocket wheel 4 which is mounted on the shaft l5. The latter shaft has mounted upon it a small gear l6 which meshes with and drives another small inter- The latteris mounted on a stud or shaft on the arm l8 which is' pivoted on the shaft 15 so that the pinion ll may be moved or caused to turn about the axis of the shaft l5.

The small pinion I1 is adapted to mesh with either of the two gears I9, 20 which are mounted respectively on the shafts 2|, 22 which are mounted in parallel relation lengthwise of the machine. The two

gears

19, 26 on the shafts 21,

22 also mesh with each other so that these two 7 shafts will be revolved in' unison no matter which of the

gears

19, 20 the small pinion I'I meshes with. If the pinion I! meshes with the large gear, l9 the large gears I9, 28 and their shafts will be operated in'the directions indicated by the arrows in Figures 1; whereas, if the arm I8 is swung over so that the pinion ll meshes with the large gear 20 then the two gears I9, 20 and their shafts will be revolved in the opposite directions to that shown in Figure 1.

The arm l8 which carries the small pinion is attached to or is part of a lever arm .23 which extends from the left of the axis of the shaft l5 in Figure 1 and on its outer, free end it is provided with a handle 24 adapted to be grasped by the operator for the purpose of rocking the lever arm I8 to bring the small pinion ll into mesh with either of the two gears I9, 20. I have shown the lever arm 23 provided with an enlargement in which an arcuate slot 25 is formed and through which projects a locking bolt 26 attached .to the frame of the machine and which is adapted to be'tighten'ed for the purpose of locking the pinion carrying lever in either of its two positions. The two shafts 2|, 22 carry the

rollers

21, 28 which are adapted to guide and smooth the fabric and to co-operate with the winding mandrels during the winding of the fabric.

I have shown two devices for cutting or slitting the fabric, one being arranged at each side of the flattened tube of fabric and both devices are alike except for the means for adjusting them. Each slitting device consists of a disc or wheel 29 wheels or discs 33 having sharp cutting edgesand.

preferably made of very hard steel, are revolvably carriedupon pivotal supports 34 which'have portions 35 extending forwardly to guide the'fabric and prevent it from getting onto the wrong side of the cutting wheel. V

The members 34 which carry the cutting discs are pivotally supported at 36 upon brackets '31 so that they may swing under the action of a coiled spring 38 mounted between a bracket 39 and the 7 free end of the lever arm 40 so that the cutting disc is resiliently pressed with its cutting edge against the face of the opposing wheel 29.

It willbe apparent that the cutting disc is located inside the flattened tube of fabric or in other words, between the upper and lower layers Al, 52 of the fabric, whereas the opposing wheel This relationship of cutting disc'and opposing roller may be reversed but I prefer to have them in the relation above described and as shown in the drawings.

It will be apparent from what has been said that the spring 38 exerts a continuous pressure on the lever arm 40 and that this causes the arm 34 to swing in the'direction necessary to press the edge of the cutting disc against the face of the opposing wheel. As has been stated above, there is a cutting device, preferably at each side of the machine, and the lateral distance between them corresponds with the width of the flattened tube of fabric. Each cutting deviceis mounted on a frame 43 and these frames are slidable along the beam 3 of the machine. 7

At the right hand end of Figure 2 I have shown "a hand wheel 44 mounted on the'shaft 45; and

turned in one direction the sliding frames 43 will both move towards each other like distances; and that if thewheel is turned in the opposite direction the sliding frames 43 will both move away from each other, and due to the reverse threads on the shaft 45 both sliding frames will each a 7 move the same distance toward or from the central line of the machine; As the cuttingdevices are mounted on these sliding frames, the operation of the shaft 45 causes thecutting devices to themaccording to the particular Width of the flattened tube of fabric which is to 'be cut and to bewound on the machinefi This is preferable to making adjustment at only one side'of the machine .as it keeps the fabric central of the various rollers regardless of its width. 7

The tubular fabric, in flattened condition, is supplied in the form of a roll mounted on an arbor 49 at the lower portion of the machine, with the arbor resting at opposite ends upon idler be moved toward or from each other to position 7 rollers 5| which support the arbor andthe roll of fabric and permit'them to revolve easily. The

flattened tubular fabric passes from the outer coil of this roll over a guidingbar 52 mounted at the front of the machine upon supporting arms 53 and from there the tubular fabric is threaded over the guide arms 35, thence between the cutting and opposing rollers and into other rollers of the machine, as will be hereinafter set forth.

'As will beseen in Figures 9 and 10, there is a bar or rod 55 running lengthwise of the machine and lying adjacent and'parallel .to the roller 21.

- There is a similar bar 56 lying adjacent to'and 1 parallel with the roller 28. These two bars are used as guides todirect the slit strips of fabric in relation to the

respective rollers

21, 28 although in some instances the bar 56 is not used as will appear hereinafter. There is a third bar 57 extending lengthwise'of the machine and lying preferably below the roller 21 and spaced from it. This bar is made to be removed. For this purpose oneend of the bar is adapted to slide in 'an aperture in the left hand frame standard I in Figure 2, whereas the right hand end is adapted to be aligned with the fixed stud 58"mounted in the right hand standard of Figto fit Over the end of the bar 51 and the stud 58 to hold these two members aligned and to support one end ofthe bar5l upon one end of the stud 58, as shown in Figure 2. A set screw 60 is adapted to secure the sleeve to the end of the bar 51' to hold the sleeve in position'while the machine is in operation.

To remove the bar 51 it is only necessary to loosen the thumb screw BI] and slide the sleeve to the right in Figure 2 upon the stud 58 until it disengages from the right hand end of the bar 51, whereupon the latter may be moved to the right to detach it from the socket in the left hand standard, whereuponthe rod may be removed from the machine. H l

Theseveral bars 55, 56 and 5'I'are used to guide the fabric and to preventtheedges from curling before the fabric reaches the pressing rollers.

I have shown brackets or supports 6| mounted in diagonal positions, as'shown in Figures 1, 5 and 6, upon the frame of the machine. These brackets are provided with guiding slots 62 and as ,the'brackets are duplicated at both ends of the machine as shown in Figure 2, the slots at one end'of the machine face toward those at the opposite end'of the machine. e

The guiding wall at one side of each of the slots 62 is provided with a cross opening'or slot 63 to, receive the ends of the rollers or mandrels to permit them to be moved into the grooves 62 whereupon' these mandrels or rollers may be moved down in these grooves until they come to rest against the

rollers

21, 28 respectively. The

rollers or

mandrels

64, 65 have caps 66 mounted the caps when the latter are engaged by the pressing members.

It is to be understood: that there are two angularly 'disposed brackets 6| at each end of the machine, and the two pairs are preferably inclined in opposite directions, as shown in Figure 1. Except for position, these several brackets are preferably all constructed alike, so that a description of one applies to all of them; In the guiding slot 62 of each guiding bracket there is a sliding member 68 adapted to slide lengthwise of the slot 62 and the lower end of the sliding, member is adapted to engage and press down on the cap 66 on the end of one of the mandrels and as there are two of these sliding 7 members at opposite ends of the mandrel, it will be apparent that these sliding members press downwardly on both ends of the mandrel for the purpose of pressing it towards the roller 21 or the roller 28, as the case may be.

There is a bracket 69 projecting laterally from each of the brackets El and there is a lever arm 10 pivotally mounted at H on this bracket. 'On the outer free end of this lever arm there is mounted a weight 12 which is adjustable along the lever arm and it is held in various adjusted positions by a set screw 13. This lever. arm is provided with an elongated'slot .14 through which projects a bolt 15 which'is screwed into the sliding member 68 so that the downward pressure of the weight on the lever arm 10 exerts a downward pressure on the slide 68, the bolt 15 travelling in the elongated slot 14 during the swinging of the lever arm 1. i

There is an ear l6 projecting from the bracket 61 and to this is pivotally attached at 11 an angle lever, one arm 18 of which is pivotally connected with a curved link 19, the other end of slide 68. The other arm 8| of this lever is pro- -flattened tubular fabric.

vided with a handle adapted to be gripped by the operator for the purpose of operating the link 19 and through it raising or lowering the slide 68. When this lever is in the position shown in Figure 5, the lever arm 10 which carries the weight is in its upper position and the slide 58 is also in its upper position; and the parts are selflocking in this position because a line Passing through the centers of the

screws

80, 82 is slightly below the center of the screw Ti, and the action of the weighted arm cannot swing the lever 18, 8| as the latter must be moved to throw the screw 82 past the center of the screw i! be fore the slide can lower and move downwardly, so that the parts in thisposition are self-retaining. 7

It will be noted in Figure ii that when the slide 68 is in its lowermost position the bottom;

end of the slide does not touch the cap 66 on the end of the mandrel so that if the slide is allowed to fall rapidly under the action of the weight the bottom end of this slide will stop just above the cap 66 and this will prevent injury to the mandrel and cap if at this time there is no fabric between the mandrel and the roller 21 or the roller 28 as the case may be.

If the fabric has been built up on the mandrel and between it and the

roller

21 or 28, the bottom end'of the slide will touch the cap '66 but the fabric between the mandrel and the roller will cushion the blow and prevent injury to the mandrel. The downward movement of the slide is limited to that shown in Figure 11 by engagement of the screw 15 with the bottom edge of the slot 83. I I

I have mounted a scale 84 in suitable brackets 85 in the front of the machine which scale is provided with markings indicating in inches the width of the flattened tubular fabric which is to be cut on the machine. The pointer 86 carried by one of the carriages 43 co-operates with this scale to indicate the width or distance between the cutting members 33 which is the width of the As the two sliding frames 43 are moved toward or from each other by the operation of the hand wheel M the pointer 86 indicates on the scale the various adjustments,'so that the operator may determine the correct setting for the cutting members in relation to the particular width of fabric which is to be slit or cut.

Operation Preparatory to placing the machine in condition for operation, all of the handles 8| are moved into the'lower position shown in Figure 5, there being four such handles arranged two at each end of the machine. This causes all of the sliding members 68 to remain in their upper positions so that the lower ends are above the cross slots 63 permitting the insertion of the mandrels. V

Let it be assumed that in the operation now being described the strips of fabric are being so wound upon the mandrels that the surfacesof the strips which are the outer side of the fabric before the slitting operation takes place, will be turned inside of the rolls of fabric which are wound upon the mandrels. This setting of the machine is indicated in Figure 9, in which case the bar 51 is present in the machine and it is held at one end by the sleeve 59 which also engages the stud 58 and with the opposite end of the bar fitted into a bearing aperture in one of the end standards.

The tubular fabric is first threaded over :the bar 52 and then over the guide; plates 94 at op;- pcsite sides of the machine in theform of a flat-- tened tube and the fabric is also threaded over- 1 the arms 34 and thence between the cutting members and the opposing discs. It will be under-- V itscap Gii'at'eachend maybe inserted through the side slot 63 of the'brackets 5| andl then themandrels are either dropped 'or 'moved down- 5 ward1'y so that thecaps 6% travel downwardly in" thefree end of this strip iseither attached to the:

mandrel 54 or one or more turnsof the fabric on the latter are made, so that themandrel will.- thereafter be able to draw on this strip of the fabric. The end of the lower strip ;(88) of fabric is carried by hand under the guidebar' 51, thence forwardly andunder the guide bar 56 and thence partly around the left ;side of the pressing roller 28 in Figure 9 and the free end of this strip is either attached to the man drel 65 or several.

7 turns are made on the mandrel so that the latter may draw the strip of fabric in the subsequent operations.

It will be noted that the-strip8'l is started clockwise around the mandrel ,64. while the strip 88 is started counter-clockwise'around the mandrel 65 as indicated in' Figure 9. It will be opserved that the two pressing rollers 21' and 28 revolve in'opposite directions.

described, it is necessary to insert the mandrels. 'Each mandrel is moved: into position so that the slots 62 'until' the mandrels cometo rest against the rollers 2'! and 28 respectively. Both' -mandrelsare'inserted into position in the same manner. At this time the slides 68 are in their raised positions as shown inFigure 5.

Whenthemandrels have been thusplaced in operative position and the leading ends of the two strips of fabric have been attached to orv started on the mandrels, all of. the various handlcs'al will be swung upwardly by the operator into'the positions shown in Figure 6. This operation will causethe lever arm 'lBof each device .to act through the link l9 and to move the slide 68 downwardly in the slot 62. The lower end of I the slide iid'will then come to rest as shown in Figure 11 just out of contact with one of the caps 66 on the end of the mandrel. ThemaA chine is now ready for operation. V

The belt ii will be shipped to the fast pulley l and this wiil start the variousparts of the machine into operation, The pinion ll with the machine in the condition as shown in Figure 9 and as now being described, will be in mesh with the gear it as shown in Figure 1, the'lever arm 23 being'held in position to effect this condition by the bolt 28. Power will be transmitted from the shaft 8 through the small gear 9 which meshes with the larger gear Ill and this will operate the shaft 1 I. On the shaft there are two bevel gears which mesh with bevel gears 9| mounted on Prior to thread--. ing the strips into the machine in the manner :resistance. v V

It will'also be noted that the under side of the strip 88 which was part of the outer surface of the tubular fabric before it was slit, i'salso turned inwardly as the roll of fabric is bu'ilt'up on the mandrel 65. In other words,

both strips are woundon the mandrels with the outer surfaces before the tube is split, turn outwardly on the wound rolls, then the machine will be placed in the condition shown in Figure 10. To do this several operations are necessary. One of these is to swing the lever arm 23 downwardly in Figure 1, first slacking off the bolt 26. When 28 to revolve in the re verse directions to what this lever arm is swung downwardly the arm [8 will carry the pinion IT out of mesh from the gear l9 and throw it into mesh with the gear 20. This will cause the pressing rollers 21 and theydid in Figure 9. The bar 51 will be removed from the machine in the manner described above. The fabric willbe threaded through the cutting devices in the same manner as described above but this time the severed strip 81 of the fabric wil fthen press against thestrip Bland a portion of the pressing roller '21 and from there the strip will pass onto the surfaceof the pressing r oller 28 in a counter clockwise direction, and the free, endwill be attached to the mandrel '65.

In this instance however, the mandrel 65 will revolve clockwise. It willnow be apparent that as the pinion l' lis in mesh vwith the gear 20 instead of with the gear I9, both pressing rollers and both mandrels will berevolved in directions reverse to .thoseshown in Figure 9. 4

ift will be apparent that the upper surface of the strip 61 will bewound outwardly on the mandrel 64 and the bottom surface of the strip 88 will be wound on the outside, on the mandrel 65. These respective surfaces were the outer surface of the, tubular fabric in advance of the cutting operation.

From this it will be observed that both severedv strips arewound alike on the mandrels with the outersurface of the fabric disposed outwardly on the two mandrels. From what has been described willbe apparent that themachine may be set to lwind. up both strips alike and to have the outer surface of the fabric disposed on the outside of the rolls orturned inwardly of the rolls.

any' niachine as far as I am aware.

, When the fabric is built up on the

mandrels

64 and 65 to the desired maximum size, the mandrels will have been lifted so that the caps 66 are in line or register with the side slots 63, so that the operator merely has to move the mandrels and rolls of fabric sidewise through the slots '63, whereupon the mandrels and the fabrics may be removed from the machine. This method of removing the rolls of fabric is simple and it is less harmful to the'operator. V v 1 With the parts arranged as shown in Figures Qor 10 the fabric strips from the time they are severed from the tube until they are wound on the mandrel, are guided in such manner that the fabric cannot curl at the edgesand becauseof this I am enabled to wind the fabric smoothly on the mandrels from edge to edge. Heretofore the edges of the fabric have curled or folded in so thatit was necessary to trim off from each roll of fabric wound on the mandrel the turned in or curled portion, and this caused considerable waste of material. Where the fabric is slit and wound on the present machine there is no such loss as it is not necessary to trim off the end of the rolled fabric. As far as I know this is the first machine in which it has been possible to wind both severed strips upon the mandrels with the outer surfaces or the severed strips turned inwardly or outwardly on thetwo rolls of fabric. I-Ieretofore it has been necessary to wind one roll with the is. 1.
