Definitions

  • This invention relates to thread-advancing reels, and more particularly to reels adapted to advance thread and, the like in the form of a eneral helix.
  • reels are utilized in continuous spinning processes. Some operate upon the principle where one of two reel members rotatesabout an axis that is eccentric to the other. In such reels the eccentric set of bar members'is actuated in a generally forward direction relative the other set of bars to eifect an advance of the thread or yarn. Other reels use a screw thread type of periphery; and still others comprise olfset and askew rollers.
  • the reel of this invention is a compact unit that advantageously utilizes two sets of bar members that are equidistant from a common axis.
  • the plurality ofbar members that comprise each set' are circumferentially spaced about the common axis at substantially equal radii.
  • One of the sets of bar members advantageously is skewed Q to the other set; and since the bar members of the one set are interleavedwith the bar members of the other set the skewed relationship between the two will cause thread and the like to advance longitudinally of the reel in the form of a general helix.
  • Figure 1 represents a plan view of the reel
  • Figure 2 represents a sectional view of the reel along line 2-2 of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view of the reel I along lines 33 of Figure 2;
  • Figure 4 is a partial cross-sectional view'ofthe driving arrangement forv the reel bar members along lines 4-4 of Figure 3.
  • the reel comprises a plurality of circumferentially spaced bar members l0 and II supported in end supports I2, [3.
  • the bar members H), II comprise the reel, periphery and they rotate about a common axis.
  • the end supports l2, l3 are concentrically mounted about a reel shaft 19 that is adapted to be driven by a gear 22 positioned at the end of; the shaft I9 and securedthereto by a set-screw 23.
  • Each barmember I0 and bar member II is individually rotated and each ispart of a set, that is, the bar members H) are all parallel to the reel shaft Ill while the bar members Il-are positionedaskew and alternatelywith the parallel bar members, or at an angle in a horizontal plane to the reel shaft It.
  • the askew and-parallel bar members upon rotation, efiect a displacement of a thread from barto bar to advance it over the reel periphery in a general helix.
  • the travel of thread overthe reel, because ofthe concentric and askew bar members, is gradual and more readilycontrollable since only the position of one group of bars isadjustable.
  • Displacement of threadis efiected only when the thread is transferred from a concentric to an askew bar member, and by controlling the askew angle of the bar members H a very close pitch can be maintained which is advantageous for economically treating the thread, since a close pitch will permit theformation of a fluid blanket and thus substantial thread coverage.
  • a close pitch will permit theformation of a fluid blanket and thus substantial thread coverage.
  • the askew relation between the bar members I'll and H is more aptly shown in Figure 2. All of the bar members comprising the reel are substantially equidistantly positioned about the common shaft I9 and, also, the bar members II are angularly positioned to assume an askew relation with the parallel bars [0.
  • the askew relation will cause a thread on the reel, when the bar members are rotated, to advance in a pluralityof helical turns, longitudinally of the reel.
  • the askew relation effects a displacement; of the thread from bar member to bar member over the reel circumference.
  • the support l3 comprises a housing that is adapted to rotate about the reel supporting sleeve 20.
  • the housing [3' there are positioned a plurality of driving gears 25, 26, 21'.
  • the sun gear 2"! is positioned about the reel shaft l9 and it is supported by the radially positioned longitudinally extending members I? which forma part of;
  • gears 26 are in driving contact with the bar member driving gears 25.
  • the bar driving gears are positioned about the ends of the bar members Ill and II and they are secured to the bar ends by means of set screws 2 Thus, when the reel shaft I9 is rotated reaction stationary gear 21 will cause the rotation of gears 26 and gears 25 to drive the bar members ID and II.
  • a jaw clutch generally comprised of jaws 30, 32 and coupling 3! within the housing I3 and about the split ends of the shaft I9 and secured to each shaft end by a suitable means such as, for instance, set screws.
  • the shaft section 43 is joined to the inner bar supporting section 45.
  • This inner shaft section is, of course, a continuation of the shaft I9 being connected by the jaw clutch.
  • the jaw clutch advantageously permits a quick assembly or disassembly of the reel within the housing I3.
  • the housing I3 terminates at one end in a hub rotating about the reel supporting sleeve 26 having a flange which can be positioned in the face of a machine, if desired.
  • the housing I3 is maintained on the sleeve 29 by means of a ring or collar 2
  • the driving gear 22 is fastened to the shaft I9.
  • a set screw 23 is threaded through the hub of the gear into the reel shaft. Then, when the reel driving gear 22 is rotated the reel is also rotated and the bar members I0 and I I turn in the opposite direction about their own axes to the direction of the reel. If thread is applied to the bars I0, II it will advance lengthwise of the reel in a plurality of generally helical turns.
  • Thread may be also advanced by driving the bar members only.
  • the askew relation between the bars will cause thread to be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the reel.
  • the askew relationship between the bar members I0 and II advantageously may be adjusted and the pitch of the turns of thread regulated by a circular adjustment of one set of the bar members.
  • the bar members ID are fixed in position and rotate in sleeve bearings positioned in the concentric supporting section 44 of the end support I2.
  • the end support is comprised of two sections M, 45. Of these two, section 44 is desirably fixed to the reel shaft I9. Further, the bar members ID are supported by this section and in the housing I3 so as to be concentric and parallel to the reel shaft.
  • the askew bar members I I extend through the section 44 into an adjacent supporting section 45 which is adapted to be rotated relative to the section 44 about a threaded pivot 48.
  • the bar members II are supported in the section 45 and in the collar I5 of the housing I3 in adjustable bearings 4
  • the askew relationship between the reel bar members I0 and I I can thus be readily altered to suit desired conditions. Through such an adjustment the travel of thread can be regulated to whatever spacing is desirable.
  • a thread advancing reel comprising a plurality of end supported rotating bar members circumferentially spaced about a common axis, driving means on one end of each of said bar members, means for rotating said bar member driving means, each alternate member of said plurality of bar members being parallel to said common axis and each interdigitating bar member of said plurality being askew to said common axis, adjustable supporting means for said askew bar members at their other ends, said adjustable supporting means being adapted to be rotated to vary the askew angle between the askew bar members and said common axis.

  • a thread-advancing reel comprising a plurality of end supported bar members rotating about their own axes and circumferentially spaced about a common reel axis, alternate bar members of said plurality being parallel to the reel axis and the remaining alternate bar members being positioned at an askew angle relative to said parallel bar members, means for varying the angularity between the askew positioned bar members and the reel axis, means for driving each of said plurality of bar members, and means for driving the reel.
