Definitions

  • This invention relates to a thread or the like winding and advancing reel. More particularly, the invention relates to a reel that is adapted to either store a considerable length of the thread or the like without advancing it, or to advance the store of thread over its periphery in a plurality of generally helical turns.
  • the reel of this invention will be described with reference to a cantilever type reel although it can be supported from both ends if so desired. Because of the easy accessiblity of cantilever reels and their adaptability to an open-faced machine they are advantageously used in a continuous process machine for the manufacture of artificial thread or the like. In such a machine the reels are adapted to be positioned in a manner so as to enable a sequential performance of a series of individual processing steps on the thread.
  • thread-advancing reels are made of two cage-like reel members.
  • Each of the reel members has a periphery of a plurality of bar members.
  • the two reel members are combined so that their respective bar members are in an interleaved relation, the combination forming a generally circular periphery.
  • the advancement of the thread or the like is eiiected by an emergence and a forward thrust of one set of the two sets of bar members outside the common reel periphery, once during each revolution of the reel.
  • the advancement of the thread is usually effected in single increments, i. e., the thread is caused to move forward a predetermined distance but one during each revolution of the reel.
  • the travel of thread is advantageously made more uniform and the abruptness of a twomember reel is considerably lessened by the reel of this invention.
  • the reel advances the thread in at least two increments during each 360 pe-' riod of rotation.
  • the reel comprises at least three reel-members two of which are adapted to advance thread over the reel periphery during each reel revolution. Other things being equal the rate of thread advancement is greater over such a reel inasmuch as the thread is moved in a forward direction on the reel at least twice during each reel revolution.
  • the advancement of thread or the like over the reel can be stopped when desired by causing the reel to act substantially as a cylinder whereon the thread is only wound but not advanced;
  • the reel advantageously comprises at least three cage-like members, mounted on axes which are offset and askew to each other.
  • the principle of operation is substantially similar to that described in the Knebusch Patent No. 2,210,914.
  • the reel member axes are positoned relative to each other so as to cause an emergence of one set of bar members at substantially the moment when another set of bar members is beginning to recede.
  • the projection of each such set of bar members is had in a sequential manner so that the thread is advanced in at least two forward movements, one following the other, during each revolution of the reel.
  • At least two reel member are mounted on eccentrics, i. e. on offset and askew axes, that are subject to an external control, such as a clutch device, the manipulation of which will permit the eccentrics to either rotate or remain stationary.
  • an external control such as a clutch device
  • the thread is caused to advance over the reel; however, when the eccentrics are rotated at a speed equal to the driving shaft of the reel the thread will merely wind on the reel.
  • a two-member reel where one of the reel members rotates about an eccentric, that I eccentric is then similarly subject to control. It'- can be held from rotation or fixed to the rotating reel shaft.
  • the reel is a cantilever type reel it end of the reel.
  • the driving gear may be mounted on a one-way clutch to permit relative increased rotation between the drivin means and the reel in a forward direction in the event that there may occur a faster withdrawal of thread off the reel than when it is laid or' Figure 2 is a front elevation of the reel of Fig ure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a cross section of the I961 9f Figure 1;
  • the mechanism for changing the reel from a non-advancing to an advancing type is desirably located at the driving Figure 4 represents the eccentric reel-member mountings
  • Figure 5 represents, in cross section, the mechanism for causing the reel to become, generally, a cylinder
  • Figure f6 represents a unidirectional frictional clutch which binds the reel driving gear to the reel shaft.
  • the reel comprises at least three separate reel members H), and I2.
  • 5 which form the peripheries of each of the reel-members are interleaved to form a single, combined periphery.
  • Each set of bar members of a reel member is adapted to rotate about its own axis. All reel member axes are offset and askew to each other. By being mounted on separate and individual offset and skewed axes a portion of the periphery of each reel member is adapted to emerge outside of the combined reel member peripheries for an instant during each revolution of; the reel to effect an advancement of thread or the like. At least two reel members of the three will advance the thread in consecutiveforward movements over the reel periphery.
  • the bar members lb of the .reel member ii! are supported by a hub H which is concentrically mounted on the shaft l8.
  • the hub I? is secured to the shaft
  • the reel member it thus rotates with the shaft l3.
  • the bar members M and. [5 which comprise the peripheries of reel members H and I2, are also similarly supported.
  • the bar members l4 comprising the periphery of the reel. member I? are supported by the hub member 2G, and the bar members i5 of the reel members l3 are supported by the hub 2
  • the hub members and 2! are rotatably mounted on the eccentric members 23 and 24 whose axes are. offset and askew to the shaft l8 and to each other.
  • the eccentrics 23, 24, as shown in Figure 4 are conveniently made a part of the entire reel supporting structure 25. Also, as shown, the shaft
  • a driving gear .34 therev ismounted a driving gear .34.
  • the gear, asashown, is held securely to the shaft by a. set screw .35..
  • the reel member ID isv adapted to drive the other two reel members, H and I2 through contact of the bars.
  • Anti-friction bearings are desirably provided for the shaft and the reel members.
  • the shaft l8 rotates in an anti-friction bushing bearing 2i, while the hub members 2
  • and 32 are provided on the support 2 5 against which the hub members 2
  • Spring retaining washers 3B, 3? are utilized to maintain the reel members in position.
  • the aforesaid assembly of elements provides a simple and a unitary reel that is adapted, when driven, to advance thread in a helical fashion over'its'periphery, the advancement of the threadv being eifected in at least two increments for each complete revolution of the reel.
  • the eccentric axes and the relative disposition of the bar members of the three reel members enable one set of bar members to protrude in an advancing manner above the other sets to advance thread for each revolution of the reel. Such an advance ment of the thread is more progressively uniform than if it were moved but once during each complete rotation of the reel.
  • the herein described reels are advantageously positioned in a vertical series with their unobstructed ends facing outwardly toward the operator. Such a positioning of the reels enables the operator to readily perform his tasks inasmuch as the reels are accessible for threading up purposes, inspection, etc.
  • the thread or the like is usually dropped from a higher positioned reel to the reel below to be threaded thereon. The thread is dropped in a similar manner to all succeeding reels.
  • eccentric members 23 and 24 advantageously form a part of a sleeve 49 or are attached thereto.
  • 'Ihesleeve: 4!] i splined or it may have a keyway 4
  • a bushing bearing 42 and about the bushing 42 the reel supporting sleeve 43.
  • sleeve 43 has a flared portion 44 which is adapted to be received by a retaining means (not shown) ina spinning apparatus to be firmly and rigidly held thereby.
  • the reel shaft 8 protrudes outside of, the sleeve 40 so as to permit the mounting of a driving gear 45 on such extension.
  • the gear 45 is. held to the shaft l8 by a set screw 47.
  • Gear teeth '43 are also provided on the hub portion of thegean 45.
  • Gear teeth 50 are also provided on the end of the supporting sleeve 43.

  • the collar also has an annular groove 56 into which extends a yoke 51.
  • the yoke 51 forms one end of a bell-crank 60 which. rotates.- about a pivot 6
  • Such-an accumu lation can be removed atany desired. moment by reconverting the reel to a thread 51f advancing'rel from that of a cylinder. Thisis easily done by shifting the collar away from the driving gea'r'45- and holding the eccentric sleeve 40 from rotation.
  • sleeve 40 is held rigidly through the splined collar andgears 50, 54. With the eccentric sleeve 40 being held the reel will rotate on fixed axis that are eccentric to each other, causing an advancement of the accumulated bunch of thread on thereel;
  • an over-running clutch which will allow 'a reel to rotate at a rate in excess of its driven rate-without disengaging the reel from its normal power source.
  • a driving gear mounted on a unidirectional clutch which will permit a reel to'- be rotated; because of some additional external driving force, asv a greater draw-off rate of thread by a subsequent reel, exceeding the normal rate without disengaging the reel from its power source.
  • the reel driving gear 45 is desirably mounted on a unidirectional clutch 65.
  • the clutch may be formed by the driving gear 45 and a sleeve 66.
  • the roller bearings are positioned between the sleeve and the gear.
  • the sleeve is, of course. fixed to the shaft [8.
  • a collar 61 is mounted on the end of the shaft l8 and abuts the driving gear 45.
