' u 15 Claims. (Cl. 242-1) The invention relatesto apparatus for Vmarking the mass of yarn wound on bobbins or the like, such as are delivered from automatic textile winding and analogousmachines, and consists of ,de-
liverymechanism incorporatedl in or applied to i such Y,machines operatingto pass lilledbobbins therefrom', as wound, andat the same time mark the yarn of each bobbin with an identifying mark fugitive or easily removablein the ultimate product or when this function hasbeen served'.v
, Such marking has heretofore lbeendone by hand vwith colored chalk by the operator, and in the case of certain kinds Vof windingmachines this has required specialrehandlng of the bobbins .for noY other purpose than to put the marks upon them, besides which the variety of markings available for use has been limited to the number of distinctive chalk colors.
By the present invention each bobbinis marked automatically yas produced by imprinting directly on its mass of wound yarn a mark which may be a chalk mark if desired, and which maybe distinctivenot only as'to color, but also as to form or combination, thereby aifording a practition' applied; Fig.l 2 a, plan ofthe marking mechanism associatedone with each winding head; Fig. 3 is an elevation fof Fig. 2 from :line
H11-111;" Figs. 4 and grepresent examples of marked bobbins; Fig. 6 is a plan for using liquid pigment; and Fig. 'l is an Velevation of Fig. 6. Figi is a` partial top plan of the Winding machine.
4The apparatus includes as its supporting means several bracket Yaims l 1bolted.at intervals along the iframe 2 of` the winding machine, parts of which appear in Fig. 1, 'and' as will. beunderstood. The brackets carry 'a longitudinal supporting rod 3 running the :length ofthe machine, and also .thefjournal bearings for a. longitudinal roller shaft Il4 likewise running the length of the machine and driven by a train of reducinggearing, marked 5, inV turnA driven by the main `or powergshaft.
The longitudinalroller shaft! is driven continuously and in aposition directlybelow-.the row .of heads in which the bobbins are held while they are being wound (Fig. l) and adjacent the outlets of the chutes l into which the lled bobbins drop on being released from vthe chucks in such heads, When the chucks separate or `open .a wound .bobbin drops upon, the upper slope of the chute Aon which it turns as it slides or ,falls so that it reaches the lower end of the chute butt rst. At 'lb isa conventional chuck showing.
cally unlimited range of marking .for the more* 430 The bobbins are commonly retained, momentarireliableV identification of the yarn. Within the term bobbin is included any other similar form of wound ltextile package, Whether on a core or not,and the term pigment ,is used to refer to any marking substanceof the kind indicated, whether liquid or solid.
According to this invention the bobbins are taken one by one while in process of emerging from the winding mechanisms of the machine and carried onward through a -path deflned by opposing -driven surfaces which engage thebob-l bin with some pressure, and one at least ofthese surfaces is a marking device, or a marking roller, supplied with the marking pigment, and acting to transfer such pigment in a selected pattern to the yarn mass as -it passes. The bobbin-engaging membersrare driven continuously vso that they become active to mark and pass each bobbin onward instantly that it reaches contact-with them, marking it at the same time. The drawings hereof illustrate preferred em-v bodiments of means within the invention-for carrying out .the action referred to, Fig. 1 being Van end elevation of a known form of multiple-head automatic winding machine having theinvenas 8, and associated Vwith 'each suchroller there is an .opposed or complementary pressure member, Vpreferably also in thev form of a roller -marked' 9.Y Between themy these rollers 'deline a continuation of the bobbin-discharge path 'and into which the ,bobbn protrudes as Vit emerges, butt first; from the opened end of Athe chute. Thegpressure means or roller 9 is vcarried infa frame Illv swinging on thelongitudinal-shaft3 as an axisV and spring-urged toward thegroqved c driven roller 8 by spring l2. In the intervals between marking operationsthis frame .rests against a xedstop Il,which is en arm also carried onj the supportrod 3, and desirably so adjustably v,set on' that rod that thai-ollersam normally spaced widely enough apart to allow Y l the butt of abobbinto enter betweenv them, with Yor without exerting pressure upon it, but in any event closely enough together to grip and make a Viirm Contact with the yarn mass upon such bobbin. Within the rangeof an ordinary auto- `matic winder various styles and sizes ofbobbins Y `may be delivered. by 4,thechute'at different times and thev normal spacing between the driving relier and its pressure means including the spring I2, s isdesigned as indicated to provide a suitable v1 pressure on the yarn foreach of them, and so llthat when entry occurs therotation of lthe driven roller 8 passes the bobbin slowly..onwardtowardj@wi Lthe place of deposit. Since `the butt diameter is often as large ,or larger than the yarn mass which are set to press on the yarn is apt to be uncertain and'resultin the blocking of the chute Y land possible vinjury to n.the winding mechanism. 'Ihis is Aavoided byfproviding vribsor .cleats .8a

and in the manner described vis preferred. In
such case the marking Apigment'is prepared for transfer, that is to say,.reduced to powder, by
the actuation of the bobbin itself, to which the transfer is made, and since the transfer roller rotates only while engaged with the `bobbn no K more chalk is ground oi of the pencils than is actually requiredfor making thma'rks' l It may Vbe noted alsof-that the adjustrnenti of theV springs I2 combines with the action of the cleats 3a to provide the traction necessary for driving the transfer roller under the Vfriction load imposed Instead of cleats the driving rollers kcould be provided with rubber surfaceswhichwouldlbe the equivalent.

- In Figs. 1 to 4 .the pressure means or vroller 9 is a marking roller, rotated by the bobbin, and is shown as made twin iorrn, with Ytwo adjacent rims `or treads,A the' equivalent of ltwo irollers- 'mounted sider byside. -Each tread is lsupplied with pigment, which in'this case is-a solid such as chalk,u and appliedv thereto -bya lpencil of that material loosely held in a feed'tube i I4 through the open bottom of which vthe pencil bears uponthe treadsurface or surfaces of the roller as'the latter rotates. These --tubes are supported side ,l by sideina bracket I5 also carriedV on the swinging-rollen frame I0 so as to preserve aconstant 'relationto the roller; they gmaybe supplied with spring followers or other means for :pressing the chalk downwardswhen necessary. Y
` The Yrotation of- 'the marking roller by the lbobbin causes its tread surface to rub the end `of the' chalk pencil'so as to grind off some of the `chalk in the form of Apowder which clings to the tread surface, such surface being appropriately roughened as by cementing emery Yflour toit. Although this chalk powder `adheres to the rough tread, enough of it is Ytaken off by the -yarn mass underthe rolling "contact `withthe latter for using a liquid marking pigment and in the equivalent ofjithezchalking meansmf the.. .other form. .The bobbin `passing river:I the roller.'V picks up .the Apig-ment and is 4.markedaccordingly..
