  • a reciprocating traverse rod 66 is driven with a short stroke of traverse (only a small fraction of the length of the final length of the wound bobbin) through cam mechanism also operated by the motor 63.
  • the motor shaft 62 carries a worm l0 meshing with and driving a cam wheel 12 through teeth 13 on the periphery thereof.

  • cam 72, worm l0, and shaft 62 traverse rod 60.

  • the outer center I00 for holding the outer end of the filling bobbin is mounted on a plunger Hi0 which is slidable in an outboard bracket I00", this bracket being fixedly secured to a horizontal bar l00 rigid with the frame 40 of the winding unit.
  • the outer center I00 is normally forced against the winding bobbin by a spring (not shown) in the bracket I00, and may be retracted by a bell crank I00 of which one arm engages the plunger I00 within the bracket.
  • a stationary angle piece 590 (Figs. 3 and 5) and is moved thereby into the dotted line position of Fig.
  • the magazine may be of any suitable construction to supply fresh bobbins to the several winding units in succession, and the magazine may for example have the construction of the magazine I I2 of Figs. 2 and 4 of said application, or may embody the improvements as to feeding and delivery of bobbins shown particularly in Figs. l3, 14, 21 and 22 of said application.
  • the bobbin magazine is indicated only diagrammatically in this application.
  • the thread guide assembly T (Fig. 6) is shown as mounted on the reciprocatingtraverse rod 66 in frictional engagement therewith so as to be movable back and forth with the reciprocating movement of the traverse rod 60 but capable of being slid on the traverse rod 66 so as to be advanced along the traverse rod.
  • the thread guide assembly '1' may for example comprise an upper plate I above the traverse rod 56 and carrying the eyes I 45 and I49 by which the thread respectively enters and leaves the thread guide assembly and a lower plate I50, below the traverse rod 56, these upper and lower plates serving to retain between them vertical spacer members I52, I52, preferably of fiber or other friction material surrounding and frictionally engaging the
  • the frictional grip of the thread guide assembly upon the traverse rod 66 is preferably increased by the provision between the two plates I and I 50, of a tubular jacket I54 of cork or other frictional material surrounding the traverse rod and held in frictional engagement therewith by a surrounding tubular element I55 having springlike fingers I56 (Fig.
  • a downtumed extension 491 on the upper plate of the thread guide assembly carries a guide roller 03 adapted to run looselyin a groove in the horizontal frame member I00c (Fig. 6) thus positioning the thread guide assembly against rotation around its round" traverse rod 00.
  • each winding unit was provided with feeler mechanism for causing the thread guide assembly to advance along the traverse rod so as to produce a filling wound bobbin growing from the base to the tip end of the bobbin.
  • feeler mechanism is rendered unnecessary because the relative movement between the winding units and other parts of the machine is utilized to determine the progressively shifting zones of traverse of the thread traverse means from the base or beginning end of the bobbin to the tip end.
  • the preferred form of mechanism involves a stationary camlike structure extending around the machine and acting an an abutment to determine the zone of reciprocating traverse of the thread guide assemblies of the several winding units, such that starting at the beginning of winding of a package the zone of traversing is in a relatively short zone near the base end of the bobbin and then is progresslvely shifted along the bobbin until it finally reaches nearly the tip end of the bobbin.
  • the thread guide assembly T preferably carries on its upper plate I an upstanding post I10 having thereon a roller I'II.
  • a non-traveling cam-like structure preferably consisting of two vertical flanges 000 and SM, spaced apart a distance such that travel of roller ill from one such fiange to the other will produce the desired length of traverse stroke of the thread guide assembly.
  • the distance between these flanges 600 and 60I may for example be such amount as 1 inch, 1% inches, 1% inches, 2 inches, or the like, depending upon the desired length of stroke of traverse.
  • these two flanges 800 and GM are located adjacent to the base or butt end of the winding bobbin; and that proceeding around the machine in the counterclockwise direction of travel of the winding units, these flanges 600 and GM are gradually located farther and farther away from the base or butt of the bobbin and nearer to the tip end thereof, finally attaining, at about the line Z-Z, a position adjacent to the tip end and quite removed from the base or butt end.
  • the zone of traverse of the thread guide assembly of each winding unit is determined by the position of the unit on the track.
  • the machine preferably includes means similar to that described in said application Serial No. 386,136 to return the thread guide assemblies of the successive units to the base or butt end position in aid of associating the thread extending from thread-guide eye I49 with the hollow center 60.
  • Such means can in the present machine conveniently comprise an inclined extension 473 of the outer flange Gill adapted to act upon the roller lll to carry the thread guide assembly from the final outermost position to a position where the traverse assembly lies near the inner hollow center 60.
  • This extension 413 is preferably continued parallel to the path of travel of the winding units; as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, in the zone where the bobbin magazine H2 is encountered.
  • a further inclined guide extension 413 comprising two downturned flanges relatively close together is adapted. to receive the roller ill of each unit, and lead it and the thread guide assembly into position for the thread guide to distribute the thread in the form of a bunch on the bobbin while the roller I'll passes from the YY is reached, the bunch then being complete,
  • the motion of the thread guide assembly passes under control of the two flanges 800 and 6M spaced apart as described above by an amount such that the thread guide can make its full stroke of traverse for winding a filling wound bobbin.
  • the inner flange 800 imparts the progressively advancing movement to the thread guide and the outer flange is available to preclude any undesired movement of the thread guide outwardly beyond its intended zone of traverse.
  • a winding machine having therein, in combination, a plurality of filling winding units each including a thread-traversing means, an abutment for cooperating with said plurality of filling winding units, and means for causing a relative traveling movement between said plurality of filling winding units and said abutment, said abutment being shaped and located to act on the thread-traversing means of the several units to define a progressive shifting of the zone of traverse from the base to the tip of the filling winding package during said relative traveling movement.
  • a winding machine havin therein in combination, a plurality of filling winding units each including a traversing thread guide and a reciprocating'driving element for the thread guide, the thread guide having a frictional connection with said reciprocatingdriving element, an abutment for cooperating with said plurality of filling winding units, and means for causing a relative traveling movement between said plurality of filling Winding units and said abutment, said abutment being shaped and located to act on the thread guides of the several units to define a progressive shift of the zone of traverse thereof from the base to the tip of the filling winding package during said relative traveling movement.
