Definitions

  • a good length for a section' is one adapted to house three or four bobbins.
  • three sections, 2, 3' and 4 each of which contains three bobbins supported in cradles 6 in the usual manner.
  • the cradles are pivotally supported in any pipes; the result being that, even though time f come the faults which almost inevitably exist4 in such members made in the old way.
  • the tubular body is formed in sections, as heretofore, but, instead of connecting the sections rigidly to each other, I make the connections yieldable to such an extent that each complete body becomes self aligning.
  • the present invention may be said to have for its object -to produce a rope making machine of the tubular body type wherein the body is self aligning.
  • Figures 1 and 1 ⁇ are side'views of the halves of a machine, embodying the present invention, divided along a central transverse plane;
  • Figs. 2 and 2A are top plan views of the two parts of the machine appearing4 in Figs. 1 and 1 ⁇ , respectively;
  • Fig. 3 is .a section, on an enlarged scale, on line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
  • Fig. 4 is a section on line 4--4 of Fig. 3;
  • Fig. 5 is a section, ⁇ on a still larger scale, on line- 5-5 of Fig.' 3;
  • Fig. 6 is a section on line posite ends with trunnions 'l having bearings in transverse spiders 8 fixed in the tube or pipe; these bearings being at the longitudinal axis of the body and above the centers of gravity of the s-s of Fig.- 3, the scale being the same as that or the sections are very small.
  • Fig. 5; Fig. 'I is a central longitudinal section at a joint betweentwo tube or pipe sections-showing a modified form of joint; and Fig. 8 is a section on line 8-8 of Fig.l 7;
  • I represents the tubular body of a stranding or closer machine cradles and their bobbins. There is one such spider a short distance inward 'from each end of each tube or pipe section.
  • each joint brackets 9 which preferably take the form of small spiders shaped to extend toward each other.
  • On each bracket or small spider are two short arms III, paralleling and on opposite sides of the axis of lthe tubular body and extending across the dividing plane betweenthe corresponding tube orv pipe sections.
  • On each arm is a trunnion I l that angular position, freely to rock while beingheld against other relative movements.
  • the parts are so proportioned that meeting ends of the tube or pipe sections are spaced a little apart from each other.
  • the bearings in the rings are spaced ninety degres apart so, that any two meeting sections may rock relatively to each other about two transverse axes at right angles to each other; the rocking movements" being, of
  • the cooperating brackets may be secured together by an elastic member fixed to both of them andpermitting slight adjusting movements between two connected tubeor pipe sections by reason of the elasticity of such members.l
  • the brackets I5 similar to the brackets 8 heretofore described, have ears I6 instead of trun'nions, these ears on each bracket being in a plane ,at right angles to the axis of the machine, and the plane of the ears on one bracket being spaced a little apart from the plane of the ears on the cooperating bracket.
  • a stii ber plate in the form of a disc I'I is disposed in the space between the two sets of ears and is fastened to the latter by bolts I8.
  • the ears on one bracket are staggered rela tively to those on the other bracket, so that there is no metal to metal connection between thev two tube or pipe sections and they may rock slightly relatively to each other through the iiexing oi the It will be notedthat both couplings described are so constructed that they do not interfere with the wire or strand A that emerges in the usual way from the hollow trunnion 1 on the cradle in one tube or pipe section and'extends diagonally into the adjacent section.
  • the wire or strand passes between the arms of the spiderlike bracket onthe large spider that supports ⁇ the trunnion through which the wire or strand is led; the wire clearing the connecting means between the two brackets.
  • the tubular body may b'esupported and driven in any suitable way.
  • the tubular body may b'esupported and driven in any suitable way. In the arrangement shown,
  • the tube or pipe is supported at its driven end by a heavy journal 24 that is xed 'thereto and extends through a bearing 25 on top of a pedestal 26 which rises from one end of a sturdy base 21 that extends throughout the length of the machine.
  • a heavy journal 24 that is xed 'thereto and extends through a bearing 25 on top of a pedestal 26 which rises from one end of a sturdy base 21 that extends throughout the length of the machine.
  • roller frames 28 At intervals along the base are the usual roller frames 28 provided with rollers 29 on which the body rests and by which the remainder of the support vfor the vlatter is given. It will be seen thatthere is only one roller frame under section 2, this being located between the second and third bobbins. Under section 3 are two roller frames, one close to the adjacent end of section 2 and the other between the second and third bobbins. There are two roller frames under section 4, one at each end.
  • the tube or pipe is driven by a'belt 30fextending from a motor 3
  • the machine 3 is easier to manufacture and it will last longer.
  • a rope making machine embodying an elongated body formed of a plurality lof tubular sections -arranged end to end with a gap between proximate ends of adjacent sections, external bearings for the body each engagingonly one section thereof, transverse members fixed within the body so as to extend from the cylindrical wall inwardly toward the axis, one on each side of each gap, brackets, whose dimensions transverse to the axis of the body are much smaller than'the diameter of the body, secured to said members near the said axis, the brackets on opposite sides of each gap extending toward each other, and means connecting each pair of opposed brackets to permit relative movements of the corresponding tubular sections in any direction.
  • a rope making machine embodying an elongated body formed of a 'plurality of tubular sections arranged end to end with a gap between proximate ends of adjacent sections, transverse members fixed in the body so as to extend from the cylindrical wall inwardly toward the axis,
  • brackets one on each side of each gap, brackets, whose' dimensions transverse to the axis of the body are much smaller than the diameter of the body
