Definitions

  • Rope twisting machines which are equipped with a winding spool for the ready rope and with a frame circulating around said spool.
  • the material for twisting is conducted along the circulating frame in being submitted to back .turning.
  • An arrangement is made, to :pull into pulling-in disc coupled with the machine drive is mounted. in a body in the circulating frame, said body remaining in theposition of rest, the rope being wound several times around this pull ing-in disc. From this pulling-in disc therope is wound by means of a laying mechanism upon the winding spool also coupled with the machine drive.
  • Machines of this type are of rather complicated construction and relatively long.
  • the number of the rope turns wound around the winding spool and therewitli the diameter of the wound body become continually greater, .the length of the product wound on changes at every rotation of the winding spool.
  • the-two guide rollers for the endless belt is mounted on a sliding body shiftable relative to the body in the framework, said sliding body being shifted under the action of a spring for pressing the endlessbelt against the wound rope.
  • the sliding body is equipped with racks, in. which mesh toothed wheels on a shaft journalled in the body in the frame,the tension spring being helically wound on said shaft and fixed so that it brakes the turning movement of the shaft.
  • FIG. 3 is a horizontal section through the sliding body on line IIIIII of Fig. 1,
  • FIG. 4 is a vertical sectionon line IVIV of Fig. l and Fig. 5 a vertical section on line V-V. of Fig. l,
  • Fig. 6 a similar sectionas Fig. 4 being viewed from the outer side.
  • a circulating frame revolves which consists of transverse elements 3 and 4 and connecting tubes 5.
  • the transverse element 3 has on its, outer side a hollow shaft 3a and on its inner side an extension 3b,.on which the body 6 is suspended.
  • the transverse element I has on its outer side a shaft journal la. and on its in ner side a hollow pin lb for the suspension of the body a.
  • a pulley 'l for awedge-shaped belt is keyed, which is coupled with the source of power and is destined to operate the machine, whereas on the inwardly directed free end a driving worm s is keyed, which is coupled witha worm wheel 8 on the body I and destined to drivethe mechanism for the winding and laying of the readyproduct.
  • the outwardly directed side of the floor stand l'-a stationary separating plate ll. ismounted centrioally to the shaft to,
  • the body 6. is suspended in the stable equilibrium position on the pins 3b and 4b of the transverse elements 3 and 4, said body remaining in the position of rest during service. With this object in view the transversely extending portions 6a of the body 6 are suspended on the screws i6 which connect the two halves I3 and i341 of the bearing.
  • lower roller 26 being mounted on the body 6 and the upper rol1er'26 on a sliding body 42 on the During its circulation in the lower range of the winding spool 26 around which the finished rope has to be wound the endless belt is pressed against the wound up material.
  • the winding spool 26 removably mounted on the transverse shaft 23 is thus rotated.
  • This spool 26 in turn drives the mechanism for the actuation ofthe laying nut 36a moving to and fro on the screw threadedspindle 36 and eifecting the laying of the rope or strand on the spool 26.
  • This is attained in that the' toothed wheel 33 meshing with the toothed wheel3l on shaft 32' rotates together with the spool 26.
  • a second toothed wheel34 is keyed on shaft 32 and ecupled with the toothed wheel 36 mounted on the spring and shiftable in guide grooves in thecheeks of the body 0.
  • the slidable body 42 has racks'42a (Figs. 3 and on. both outer ends, these racks meshing with toothed wheels 43 on Y the transverse shaft 44 'Joumalled. in the body '.6'.”"ln the middle of shaft 44 a spiral spring is fixed which is wound around the shaft and extends towards bothsides of'this shaft, the free ends of this spiral spring 46 being fixed on the body 6 so that the toothed wheels 43 ,havethe tendency to shift upward the slidable body 42 by the action of this spring.
  • the tree ends of the spiral spring 46 terminate eaclidn e'yella, these eyes being hooked-Eon atrans've'rse rod '46 fixed diameter of the wound body "on spool 26 increases, the slidable bodyr42 is moved more and more downw r s, Owi tc'the increased .tension of the endless band 24, in overcoming the oppositely directed tension'of thespring 46, so that the endless band 24 can adapt itself automatically to the actual thickness of the wound body' on spool 26.
  • a second driving worm (Fig. 2) with screw-threads directed oppositely to the worm wheel 8 may be mounted on th transverseshaft l6.
  • twisting machine in which the amaterial is twisted partly in front of the machineandiipartly iwhen 1 Passing through e me. -other;.ztwistinshmachines; may be equipped withqthe-welem'entst acizicordin g. to the invention inhwhichiithefitwlsted on t [above the'shaftg. when; the .6...material is forcedatocarry. out bac twistinss,
  • a guide roller 31 is arranged at one end of Q a holder 36 in a slot [4 (Fig. 4) of the hubs of i2 (Fig. 1) ass, through holes in the stationary separating plate duction into the machine. 'A second twisting.
  • Twisting machines may also be equipped with the elements according to the invention in which machines uniformly directed twistings are brought into the'bundle of wires when passing through the machine, these twistings being continually used in the opposite twisting direction for beating the wire rope or strand on -a presscheek.
  • a twisting machine with a spool for winding up the finished rope comprising in combination belt driven at uniform speed and driving said winding spool, and springs for pressing said endless belt against a portion of the circumference of the rope wound on said winding spool.
  • Machine as specifiedin claim 1 comprising in combination with the endless belt, guide rollers for this endless belt, a shiftable sliding body mounted in said circulating frame, and a spring adapted to shift said sliding body so that it presses the endless belt against the wound rope.
  • Machine as specified in amm comprising a shiftable sliding body, racks 0mm ends of said sliding body, a shaft in the the circulating frame, toothed wheels on said-shaft meshing with said racks, and a clamping spring helically wound on said shaft and fixed so that 15 it brakes the rotary movement of said shaft.
