Definitions

  • the present invention relates to spinning and twining machines and is particularly directed to an illuminating device adapted to be arranged in the machines for the illumination and control of the threads.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by lateral illumination of the thin material to be spun-without simultaneous illumination of the machine partsex clusively at the small open space of about 10 cm. width between the drafting means and the thread guiding means.
  • a light source mounted near one of two side walls for the machine frame and adapted to direct a narrow beam of rays of light transversely to the row of threads in the plane thereof, and a mirror mounted on the other side wall in the path of said beam of rays to reflect it.
  • the diameter of the beam of light-rays is only a few centimetres over a distance of about 15 to 20 metres.
  • the light source consists of a lamp and a long focus objective, and is mounted on a cross-member connected at its two ends to the side walls.
  • the mounting means for the light source preferably comprise a cross-member secured at its two ends to the side walls of the frame, a pipe secured to said cross member, and clamping means on said pipe adapted to hold a tubular housing for the light source.
  • the mirror may be provided with antiglare means such as a shield having a dulled surface.
  • the lamp of the light source is preferably a low voltage lamp having a small point-like filament, or any other suitable point-source lamp.
  • the light source in the machine frame, it may be constructed in such a way that the beam produced by the lamp is rectangularly deflected with the aid of prisms or mirrors. In this way it is possible to arrange the light source in th spinning frame in spite of the rather limited space at disposal for the accommodation of the device.
  • the spinning machine is provided with an illuminating device as hereinbefcre disclosed, the operator will no longer be irritated by the glare and dazzling caused hitherto by the reflection of light from machine parts, and will now easily be able to control the work of both of the machines, while also the work of the superintendent, who has to supervise the duties of the operator, will be greatly facilitated, as all of the threads are illuminated now like a grid-work at the important place along the entire length of the machine and can be checked and controlled at a glance and at a moment's notice.
  • Increasing exclusively the brightness of the threads instead of increasing the brightness of the whole machine has the further advantage that the general roomilluminatio-n can be reduced accordingly and that in this way important economies in current consumption can be made.
  • the reference numeral 4 denotes a pipe secured, by means of screws 6 passing through its end 5, to a cross-member 8, fastened at both of its ends to the side-walls la and lb of the frame of the spinning machine.
  • the housing 3 of the optical device provided with the electric feed wire 9 and containing an electric lamp and a lon focus objective, is secured to the pipe 4 with the aid of the clamping collars l and the screw ll, so that it can be shifted upward and downward and rotated for adjustment and fastening in different planes and directions.
  • the optical device consists of a bulb [6, a lens I! which forms the rays of light therefrom into a parallel beam, and a device (not shown) such as a mirror or prism arranged to deflect the beam of light to the path shown passin transversely with respect to the threads I.
  • a flange I2 which is secured to the side-wall lb by means of a clamp- 5 ing contrivance I3 and screws or the like and which carries a mirror I5 equipped with a glarepreventing shade [4 which for the absorption of divergent light-rays must be dulled on its surface.
  • Lighting means for providing shadow-free and glare-free illumination of threads in spinning, twining, and similar textile machines comprising a frame for the machine, said frame having side walls and a cross-member secured at its ends to said side-walls, mounting means secured on said cross-member near one extremity thereof, a light source comprising a lamp and a long focus objective carried by said mounting means near one side wall and arranged to direct a narrow beam of rays of light transversely to a row of threads in the plane thereof, and a mirror mounted on the other side wall and arranged in the path of the beam of rays to reflect it.
  • Lighting means for providing shadow-free and glare-free illumination of threads in spinning, twining, and similar textile machines comprising a frame for the machine, said frame having side walls and a cross-member secured at its ends to said side walls, a pipe secured to said cross-member near one extremity thereof, clamping means releasably mounted on said pipe, a tubular housing held in said clamping means and arranged near and parallel to one side wall, a lamp and a lon focus objective carried in said tubular housing and arranged to direct a narrow beam of rays of light transversely to a row of threads in the plane thereof, a mirror mounted on the other side wall in the path of the beam of rays of light to reflect said beam, and an antiglare shield with dulled surface for said mirror.
