Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the manufacture of filaments of artificial origin but more specifically has for its purpose to devise a novel method of and apparatus for the spinning of such filaments.
  • a spinning solution is extruded through the openings of a spinnerette nozzle, which may be immersed in a precipitating medium, and the spinning solution, as it is extruded from the openings of the spinnerette, is precipitated by the medium or bath, and the thread or filaments are thus formed.
  • a novel feature of the present invention consists in a pipe-like insertion which is positioned in the precipitating bath trough and concentrically around the thread, together with nozzles from which fresh precipitating liquid is supplied in the direction of travel of the extruded thread.
  • the liquid stream ejecting from the nozzles and into the funnel device produces a positive flow of the spinning bath therethrough.
  • a continuous renewal of the spin bath arotmd the spinnerette and at the point of extrusion of the freshly spun thread results from the arrangement.
  • the flow of the spin bath in the direction of travel of the filaments aids in the stretching and strengthening of the freshly extruded thread.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement and method whereby stretching or strengthening of the freshly extruded threads results.
  • Important features of the invention in its preferred form comprise providing a continuous supply of fresh precipitating medium adjacent the extrusion nozzle and causing the precipitating medium to fiow in the direction of travel of the freshly extruded threads.
  • Figure 1 shows a diagrammatic vertical cross-section of a spinning machine with one embodiment of the invention opcratively positioned therein.
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 illustrating a modified form of the invention.
  • I refers to the usual type of spinning pipe including a candle filter and having attached thereto a spinnerette 2.
  • the spinning pipe I is pivotally mounted as indicated at la in the usual manner whereby it may be swung into and out of the spin bath trough 3 and the liquid contained therein.
  • the wall 4 of the spin bath trough 3 has attached thereto a spin bath supply pipe 5.
  • the spin bath enters the trough 3 through a plurality of nozzles positioned annularly around the spinning nozzle 2, two of which are illustrated at 6.
  • a funnel-like member I is positioned in the spin bath trough 3 and concentric to the spinning nozzle 2.
  • the precipitating liquid is forced, together with the thread 8, through the conical insertion tube 7 and into the tapered portion 9 of the latter.
  • the thread 8 as it issues from the spinning nozzle is drawncentrally through the funnel l and around a guide roller H] which may be partially submerged in the spin bath.
  • This roller in the embodiment illustrated is freely rotatable and driven by the thread drawn around it, but, if desired, it may be a positively driven roller.
  • the thread is drawn from there to a suitable take-up device (not shown).
  • the guide roller Ill is preferably positioned adjacent the tapered end 9 of the funnel l.
  • the fresh spin bath coming from the nozzles 6 is forced to flow in the direction of travel of the thread 8 by reason of the funnel I.
  • An overflow I6 is provided whereby the used spin bath may be carried off at the same rat at which it is supplied.
  • a flange H which may be formed integral to the outside of the funnel l is provided for the purpose of uniformly positioning the said funnel l in the supporting frames I2 and 13. Of course, other means may be provided for accomplishing this purpose.
  • the roller I In operation the roller I is first moved into the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 1.
  • the funnel is lifted from the frames 12 and 13.
  • the spinnerette together with the spinning pipe I and spinnerette 2 may be swung out of the trough, as shown in dotted lines, for cleaning or changing of the spinnerette.
  • the spinning pipe l and spinnerette 2 are swung back again into the precipitating bath.
  • the funnel 'l is placed in position on the frames I2 and I3, and surrounding the spinnerette 2 and the spinning operation is then begun.
  • the thread bundle 8 is pulled through the mouth of the funnel by any suitable means such as, for example, a hook.
  • a hook After the thread has been pulled through the funnel I the roller i0 is moved into the position, shown in full lines, and at the same time the thread 8 is led to a winding device.
  • a locking pin 14 After the roller H! has been placed in position, a locking pin 14 is positioned in place on a bracket l and holds the said roller l0 in the spinning position.
  • FIG 2 is illustrated a modified form of the invention.
  • which is mounted on a spinning pipe 2Ia. can be swung into and out of spinning position on its pivot 2lb the same as described with relation to Figure 1.
  • the spinnerette 2i discharges vertically and the thread 30 is drawn therefrom in a vertical direction.
  • the funnel 23 which is positioned concentrically around the spinning nozzle has an annular enlargement 22 which rests on the circular bracket 24 and is supported thereby.
  • the bracket 24 is pivotally mounted at 25 on the side of the spin bath trough 26.
  • the trough 26 has a closed chamber 2'! formed in the bottom thereof and to which the fresh spinning bath solution is fed under pressure through a pipe 3!.
  • Nozzles 28 are positioned adjacent the spinning nozzle 21 and are the outlets through which the spin bath solution is forced from the chamber 21. These nozzles may consist of two or more nozzles arranged concentrically around the spinning nozzle.
  • the spin bath then overflows the upper edge of the funnel 23 and into the spinning trough 26, A portion of it overflows from the trough and the remainder is circulated again upwardly through the funnel 23.
  • An overflow 29 is provided whereby the used spin bath liquid is discharged at the same rate at which it is supplied.
  • the funnellike insertion 23 is swung out of the bath on the pivot 25,
  • may then be swung on its pivot 2H) for the purpose of exchanging spinning nozzles and after the spinning solution begins to emerge the spinnerette is swung back into the bath.
  • the funnel 23 and its support 24 are swung on the pivot 25 down to a point where the funnel may surround the spinning nozzle 2
  • the extruded thread bundle is then led to a winding device in any well known manner (not shown).
  • the form of the funnel insertion may be either substantially cylindrical or substantially conical.
  • the effect on the freshly extruded thread depends upon the conicity of the funnel, i. e., whether the diameter of the funnel decreases or increases in the direction of the travel of the thread.
  • the diameter of the funnel decreases in the direction of travel of the thread, an acceleration of the flow of precipitating liquid in this direction takes place. This acceleration of the flow of the liquid exerts a stretching action on the thread in addition to that which would result from the flow of liquid from the nozzles through a cylindrical tube. If, on the other hand, the diameter of the funnel becomes greater in the direction of travel of the thread, the speed of the spinning bath will gradually decrease. In this instance, the stretching of the thread takes place owing to increased friction on the spinning bath liquid, which resists the drawing of the thread by the rotor or other drawing device. At the same time continuous removal of the bath in the vicinity of the spinning nozzle is maintained.
  • the funnel insertion may be positioned various distances from the spinnerette. It is advantageous to position the spinnerette either completely or partially within the funnel. If it is desired to maintain uniformly the direction of travel of thread in the said funnel a thread guide may be provided at the mouth of the funnel as shown at It in order to direct the passage of the thread to the take-up device of the spinning machine, i. e., the spinning spool, an intermediate drawing roller or take-up godet, or to a centrifugal spinning pot or the like.
  • the take-up device of the spinning machine i. e., the spinning spool, an intermediate drawing roller or take-up godet, or to a centrifugal spinning pot or the like.
  • the thread guide may be in the form of a roller which is either positively driven or which rotates freely as the thread passes thereover under the drawing power ,of an additional device that draws .off the thread.
  • a stationary guide may how of liquid where the thread contacts the guide roller is of great advantage, due to a more perfect washing or rinsing of the said thread guide.
  • the upwardly extending mouth 9 of the funnel I as shown in Figure 1 is also effective in this respect.
  • the upward inclination of the mouth 9 causes the liquid stream ejected from the funnel to flow slightly upwardly so that it is directed in the direction of the roller in where it exercises its favorable rinsing action.
  • precipitating bath nozzles in an intermediate bottom mounted in the trough, as
  • bracket 24 may be adjustably mounted to slide in a sleeve 32 and held in position in said sleeve by a set screw 33.
  • the force of the precipitating bath stream flowing through the funnel depends largely upon the size of the funnel and the flowing power of the precipitating bath at the time when it emerges from the spin bath nozzles, and upon the size of the clearance existing between the end of the funnel facing the nozzle and the wall adjacent the nozzle.
  • the proportion between the precipitating bath stream freshly introduced through the nozzles 6 and 28 and the precipitating bath already used, i. e., precipitating bath which flows from the trough through the annular clearance into the insertion can be changed in any desired manner through adjustment of the clearance between the wall of the trough and the end of the funnel adjacent thereto.
  • the funnels may be different shapes and means of mounting the funnels within the trough may be changed in any desired manner without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
  • the positioning of the spinning nozzle may be altered, for instance, the spinning nozzle might be above the tubular member and the thread be drawn vertically downwardly or at some other suitable angle. In this event, the spinning nozzle might be positioned above the spin bath and the nozzles for precipitating liquid could extend into the spin bath adjacent or within the tubular member.
  • the insertion might be of other shapes suitable for conducting the precipitating liquid in contact with the thread.
