ApplicationJune 1', 1949, Serial No. 96,592 In Czechoslovakia J-unel, 1948 1'7 Claims,
Fibers which arespunfrom. themolten mass. e. g. polyamide fibers, areusually drawn. off from the spinneret by. means of ametalcylinden, Said cylinder has a. rather great diameter andaconsiderable weight in. order to. cool instantaneously the fiber which is, after'having left .thespinneret, still in a plastic condition. Thefiber. or the. fiber bundle has to. be wound. several times'round the, drawing off cylinder in. order to obtainthe. e sary friction. This. is rather difilcult, to; do at high spinning speeds. The design and. the material of such a high speed. heavy rotatory cylinder. must be chosen very. carefully.
The device according to thepresent invention consists of two vertical rows of cylinders, placed under the spinneret ina. mutually staggered position which rows may bev removedfrom each other or tightly approached, all. of. the. said. cylinders rotating with. the same speedandinopposite direction in each. row so that the fibers. may fall freely from the spinneret,.between distancedcylinder rows,.being on. the contrary caught, when the saidcylinder rows. are closely approached, and drawn forcibly in a. wave-like line from the spinneret. The cylindersvof, onerow'may be-provided with an elastic surface of rubber; or. the-like, the cylinders of. the other. row being made of; metal; the friction is then so increased that oneof. the rows may consist only of av single rubber coated cylinder, the other row consisting of; two metal cylinders, having the samev diameter and rotating with the same speed in opposite direction re,- garding the rubber coatedcylignder; The, rubber coated cylinder is pushed between; two metal cylinders according to the-diagram; shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanyingdrawing;
Fig. 1 shows distanced cylinders before the beginning of drawin off spunfiberasaid fibers falling freely through the. gap. between the said cylinders.
In the Fig. 2 the same device isillustratedafter the cylinder rows having been; shifted. close together so that the fibersare-engaged: and forcibly. drawn in a wave-like line due to the-friction ofthe fiber on the surface of the cylinders, especially of the rubber coated one. The cylinders of each row rotatein opposite direction as shown by arrows. The known joint driving is not shown in this diagram.
A known watercooling device (not shown) may. be arranged between the-spinneretand thedrawing off device.
It has been found that; it is not. necessary to press the fiber between the cylinders, the. frictionbeing high enough, especially when using a rubber coatedcylinder in one row. The cylinders may be, accordingly shaped as shown in Fig. 3, their central part haying areduced diameter so that the cylinders of both rows are rolling on each other with their borders; only.
Above the cylinders may be arranged a known fiber shifting device for changing the place on which the fiber comes. intocontact with the cylinder in order to prevent thefiber to cut a groove into the cylinder surface. Such changing devices are'commonly. used when-winding yarn on bobbins and it is therefore not necessary to go into details. It is only to be mentioned that this changingdevice may-run very slowly.
he descriheddevice is advantageous especially when high spinning speeds'are used and in connection with preceding cooling with water or with another liquid. The winding of the fiber bundle on. the drawing, offcylinder is fully omitted because the device may be-put in action simply by means of a lever (3, Fig. 4), which is acting directly on the tension roller 4, serving for stretching the driving band or belt 5. The-diagramof the, driving arrangementis shown in Fig, ,4 where the shifting. of thecylindersis illustratedby horizontal arrows.
The shifting may be naturally arranged in; a.
relative manner sothat: only one cylinder row is horizontally shifted, the. other one. standing firmly,

A device for drawing off artificial fibers from the spinneret, comprising at least two rotatably supported cooperating rollers having horizontally extending vertically displaced axes spaced so that their cooperating surfaces are permanently at a distance exceeding the diameter of the fiber, at least one of said rollers shiftable in a horizontal direction between an operative position in which the distance between the projections of the axes of said rollers on a horizontal plane is less than the sum of their radii and an inoperative position in which the distance between the projections of the axes of said rollers on a horizontal plane exceeds the sum of their radii; means tending to maintain said rollers in said inoperative position; a shiftably supported tensioning roller; an idle roller contacting the surface of one of said cooperating rollers; a driving belt engaging said tensioning roller, said idle roller and the cooperating roller not contacting said idle roller; means for driving said belt; a lever connected to said tensioning roller and adapted to control the shifting thereof.
15. A device for drawing off artificial fibers from the spinneret, comprising at least two rotatably supported cooperating rollers having parallel axes relatively displaced in the direction of the extension of the artificial fiber, at least one of said rollers being shi-ftable; means for rotating said rollers in opposite direction; at least one roller having at least one rim preventing the cooperating surfaces of said rollers to approach closer than a distance exceeding the diameter of the fiber; means tending to maintain said rollers in said inoperative position; an idle roller contacting the surface of one of said cooperating rollers; a driving belt engaging said other cooperating roller along a portion of itsaxial length and said idle roller; means for driving said belt; and means for tensioning said belt whereby said cooperating rollers will assume their operative position when said belt is tensioned and their inoperative position when said belt is re-' laxed.
16. A device for drawing off artificial fibers from the spinneret, comprising at least two rotatably supported cooperating rollers having parallel axes relatively displaced in the direction of the extension of the artificial fiber, at least one of said rollers being shiftable; at least one of said rollers having at least one rim preventing the cooperating surfaces of said rollers to approach closer than a distance exceeding the diameter of the fiber; a shiftably supported tensioning roller; an idle roller contacting the surface of one of said cooperating rollers; a driving belt engaging said tensioning roller, said idle roller and the cooperating roller not contacting said idle roller; means for driving said belt; and means for shifting said tensioning roller.
17. A device for drawing off artificial fibers from the spinneret, comprising at least two rotatably supported cooperating rollers having parallel axes relatively displaced in the direction of the extension of the artificial fiber, at least one of said rollers being shiftable; at least one of said rollers having at least one rim preventing the cooperating surfaces of said rollers to approach closer than a distance exceeding the diameter of the fiber; means tending to maintain said rollers in non-contacting position; a shiftably supported tensioning roller; an idle roller contacting the surface of one of said cooperating rollers; a driving belt engaging said tensioning roller, said idle roller and the cooperating roller not contacting said idle roller;
means for driving said belt; a lever adapted to control the position of said shiftable tensioning roller.
