Definitions

  • this scheme requires that several rows of spinning positions be placed vertically above one another, and this arrangement introduces very substantial difiiculties in respect to the arrangement of the spinning pumps.
  • a further advantage of the present invention resides in the fact that in spinning-in only two operators are required for a two-sided machine having spinning positions and these two op-' erators can work independently in view of the fact that a fully automatic temporary storage device is provided to accommodate yarns that are.
  • Figure 1 is a view in vertical section taken transversely of a two-sidedv spinning machine constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention
  • Figure 2 is a schematic view partly in elevation and partly in section tracing the course of a pair of yarns through their variouschanges in direction between spinning and incorporation in a sheet for aftertreatment;
  • Figure 3 is similar to Figure 2 but is taken from a viewpoint 90 away from the View of Figure 2; and,
  • Figure 4 is a plan illustrating the change in direction which the yarns undergo at the lower level of the machine incident to the formation of the sheet.
  • the machine is a double-sided one having two levels or stations, an upperlevel including the elongated spinning baths I and II which run for the length of the machine, and 'a lowerxlevel .including the rollers l2, I3, I4 and I5, which serve to form the freshly spun yarns into a sheet for aftertreatment.
  • the upper level of the machine is provided with catwalks :I6- and I] on its opposite :sides and the operator who .is serving the spinnerets walks along these :catwalks as he withdraws the yarns from the spin baths.
  • the operator who is serving the lower level of themachine walks along the :floor of :the building at I8 on one side of the. machine and along a similar surface, not shown, at the other side of the machine.
  • the twoelongated'spin bath tanks 10 and II each may accommodate a row of sixty spinnerets 19 arranged in aligned spaced relation. Each spinneret 19 is connected to a pair of spinning filters,
  • each spinneret is also associated with pumps of conventional design, not shown. These pumps are driven from shafts 24 and '25 on the left side ofthe machine as it is shown'in Figure 1 and from'correspond-ing shafts 26 and 210m the right side of the machine. By providing two pump drive shafts on each side of the machine the number of spinning positions that can be accommodated per unit length of spin bath trough is increased.
  • the arrangement as can be seen in Figure 1, involves drive shafts at difierent levels so that alternate pumps are driven from shafts 24-46 and the intervening pumps are driven from-shafts -21.
  • the pumps of one row are placed zigzag with respect to the pumps of the other row andspace is saved in the longitudinal dimension of the machine.
  • , 22 and 23 are also placed zigzag as can be seenin Figure 1.
  • the shafts -24 to 21, inclusive, run for the length of the machine and are driven by suitable means, not shown.
  • the machine is provided with two long cylindrical draw-off rollers 28 and 29 which are located above the spin baths I8 and- II, respectively.
  • the freshly spun yarns are led upwardly over the appropriate roller 28 or 29 and around it with 180 of wrap. Because the rollers 28 and 29 have substantial diameter and because their axes lie above the back walls of the respective spin baths I9 and II, the yarn goes onto the rollers 28and 29 tangentially at a point directly above the spinneret and goes oil tangentially at a point lying in a vertical plane behind the rear wall of the spin bath tank.
  • the rollers 28 and 29 not only serve to draw off the yarns from the spinnerets, but also to transfer the yarns laterally to" a plane lying rearwardly of the spin bath so that they may fall freely to the lower level of the machine through a space defined by the central partition 39, the backs of the spin bath tanks I8 and II and lead lined or lead protecting walls 3I and 32.
  • and 32 extend, at their respective lower ends 33 and 34, over the working space of the lower level of the machine so as to isolate it from the upper level insolar as leakage or spillage of liquids is concerned.
  • the central partition 30 there is located a housing 35 for accommodating driving shafts and gears to be hereinafter more fully described.
  • the housing '35 is symmetrical below the partition 39 and defines two troughs 36 and 31 which lie respectively vertically below the points of tangential discharge from rollers 28 and 29 so that yarn discharged lrom the rollers 28 and 29 will fall directly into the appropriate trough 36' or 3'! until it is guided away from its normal vertical path of fall. It has been found that the adhesion of the yarn after it has been laid over the rollers 2'8 and 29 is such that, even though the running endof yarn is falling iree'to a trough 3.6 or 31, little slippage occurs. However, if .difficulty were encountered, resort may be had to additional Wrap. a
  • rollers 12 and I3 are cantilever supported and are" driven from conventional shafts ("not shown), which through suitable gearing derive their power from a longitudinal shaft M which extends for the full length of the machine through the housing 35.
  • rollers I2 and I3 are equal to half the number ofspinning positions with which the machine is provided and, "since this description is concerned with a machine having. sixty spin-hing positions per side, there are thirty rollers I2 at the left side of the machine as itis viewed in Figure 1 and thirty :rollers I3 at the right side of-the machine.
  • Each roller I2 is inclined upwardly from the horizontal at an angle which is equal to the angledefined between a vertical tan- 7 gent to the rear face of the roller 28 and a straight line between the point of tangential discharge of the yarn from: the roller 28 and the point of tangential reception of the yarn-on the roller I2.
  • the yarns reach the small rollers 12 at right angles to the long axes of saidrollers I2 and the position of the yarns on the roller I2 is therefore stable.
  • the roller I4 serves 7 the entire left side of the machine as it is viewed in Figure l and theroller I5 serves the entire right side of the machine.
  • These rollers are cylindrical and are of sufficient length'to accommodate a sheet of sixty yarns.
  • the axes of the rollers I4 and I5 are horizontal and these rollers are cantilever supported on shafts (not shown), which, through suitable gearing, are driven from main drive shaft 42.
  • rollers I4 and I5 turn about horizontal axes, and that the axes of the rollers 12 and I3 slope upwardly somewhat from the horizontal, while the rollers l2, l3, l4 and I5 are all inclined with respect to a plane at right angles to the axis of the machine. This inclination can best be understood by reference to Figure 4 in which a fragment of the right hand side of the Figure 1 machine is shown in plan.
  • roller 45 After leaving the roller l5, the yarns pass across another roller 45 which is at right angles to the long axis of the machine and which delivers the yarns to aftertreatment.
  • the roller 45 is shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, but is notshown in Figure 1, although its position with respect to that figure is easily understood by reference to Figure 2.
  • rollers l2 and I3 as well as the rollers l4 and [5, are angularly adjustable so that the spatial relation which the threads can assume can be varied within a reasonable range.
  • the mechanism formaking angular adjustments of the several rollers is well known and alone forms no part of this invention. A typical adjustment mechanism is shown in detail in Patent No. 2,129,284 in the name of Uytenbogaart et al.
  • roller [3 which is illustrated is intended to be the same roller as that shown at the extreme left of Figure 3.
  • the roller l5 accommodates a number of yarns which in Figure 2 are shown as emanating from behind the roller I3.
  • drain shields 46 and 41 are provided at the lower level of the machine.
  • the lower sides are shielded by horizontally movable sash windows 48 and 49 which are diagrammatically indicated in Figure 1.
  • the two sides of the upper level of the machine can be closed and yet made accessible by sash windows 50 and 5! which are balanced by counter weights 52 and 53, respectively.
  • the machine can be ventilated in an upward direction by means of a common cap 54 and suction tube 557
  • a common cap 54 and suction tube 557 It can now be appreciated that the machine described in Figures 1 to 4, inclusive, is relatively long in the direction of the sheet of threads but rather narrow at right angles to the length of the sheet, so that the width of the spinning mafull length of the machine.
  • these rollers may be replaced by various types of take-up devices known to the art such as the" provisionof an individual godet for each spinning. position.
  • the preferred draw-off roller for use in the position shown for theroller 28 and 29- is described in application Serial No. 159,628, filed May 2, 1950, and assigned to the same assignee as the present application.
