Definitions

  • This invention relates to bobbin winding machines, and the object of the invention is to provide such a machine with a simple device for marking the bobbins, for identifying purposes, as they are discharged from the winding machine through its delivery chute.
  • a principal object of the invention is to provide means for marking the bobbins, which is positive in its action, and which requires no substantial alteration in conventional winding machines, in order to provide for the attachment and automatic operation of the marking mechanism.
  • Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a winding machine of design which is now well known in the art, showing the marking assembly of this invention attached to the machine, one one side of its delivery chute.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 are perspective views of the delivery chute and associated parts of a well known winding machine, showing the marking mechanism of the present invention attached thereto.
  • Fig. 4 is an end view of the marking implement, which comprises a reservoir and a tubular plunger which extends therefrom.
  • Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view of the marking implement, showing in some detail the manner in which it is attached to one of the oscillating shafts of a well known form of winding machine.
  • Fig. 6 is a partial horizontal sectional view taken through the gear box of the Whitin-Schweiter bobbin winding machine, which is shown in the Whitin- Schweiter automatic filling bobbin winder component parts catalog issued and copyrighted in 1949, by the Whitin Machine Works of Whitinsville, Massachusetts. This view shows only those parts within the gear box as are necessary to demonstrate the means for oscillating the shaft on which my bobbin marking device, hereinafter described, is mounted, and
  • Fig. 7 is a front elevational view of the gear box referred to in connection with Fig. 6, likewise showing the means for oscillating the shaft referred to in the preceding paragraph, the bobbin chute being omitted in order to clearly show the parts.
  • this well known winding machine is shown as comprising the usual magazine M, the upper chute 10, the gear box B, and the lower delivery chute 12.
  • a bobbin in the process of being wound is shown at 14, and as will be understood by those skilled in the art, when the winding of the bobbin is completed, the chucks which hold the bobbin separate, and the wound bobbin drops head first into the chute 12. When the bobbin reaches the lower end of the chute, it is momentarily held stationary against the chute outlet door 16, while the yarn trailing from the wound bobbin is severed, in preparation for the discharge of the bobbin from the chute.
  • the delivery chute 12 has top and bottom walls, and spaced side walls, and in one of the side walls of the delivery chute and on that side where the existing shaft 18 is positioned, I provide an opening 20. This opening is located adjacent to the outlet of the chute.
  • the marking implement comprises a spherical reservoir or bottle 22, and a tube 24 which extends inwardly from the lower end of the reservoir.
  • the reservoir may be made of any suitable material, such as glass, plastic or metal, but a transparent glass or plastic reservoir and attached tube, are preferred.
  • the reservoir has an upwardly extending inlet as at 26, which may be closed by a conventional stopper 28.
  • the end of the tubular portion 24 of the marking implement may be closed by any suitable material which will absorb the coloring matter or dye, and apply it to the yarn on the wound bobbin.
  • the end of the tube is shown as being closed by a marking plug 26 which may be made of sponge rubber.
  • the marking assembly is attached to the oscillating shaft 18 by a suitable bracket.
  • this attachment is shown as comprising an upper bracket member 30 which is bent around the shaft 18 as at 32, the end of the member being bent back upon itself and secured as by a bolt and nut connection, indicated at 34.
  • There is a lower spring-like bracket portion 36 which is attached to a lower horizontal flange 38 of the bracket portion 30, by a similar bolt and nut connection 40.
  • This lower portion 36 is of the configuration shown in Fig. 4, having a fiat top, and opposed ends bent inwardly as at 42. These ends are further bent outwardly as at 44, and they are then bent in circular fashion as at 46, to
  • the tubular por-' .tion 24' of the container 22 may be pressed upwardly -mitting the removal of this container when necessary for re-filling, cleaning or the like.
  • the tubular portion 24' of the container may be provided with a stop shoulder 50 to assist in properly positioning the container and the marking implement in the bracket.
  • the upper portion 30 of the bracket is likewise made of resilient sheet metal, of sufficient rigidity to support the container on the oscillating shaft 18, and it will be apparent that the entire bracket may be adjusted around the shaft 18, and then secured by tightening the nut and bolt arrangement 34, when the assembly is properly positioned on the shaft to carry out effective marking of the wound bobbins in the chute 12.
  • the oscillation of the stud 155 rocks the lever 713 back and forth, this lever having at the upper end thereof (not shown) the cam roller which operates the Well known tail cutting mechanism of this machine.
  • the oscillating movement of the lower end of the lever 713 serves to similarly oscillate a right-angle lever 663 which is rigidly secured to the shaft 18, the connecting rod 711 being' pivoted at its ends to levers 713 and 663, and generally extending beneath the bobbin chute (which is omitted in Fig. 7).
  • the shaft 18 is oscillated back and forth, to a degree necessary, and in timed relation, with the parts properly adjusted, to advance and retract the bobbin marking mechanism, as previously described, to mark a bobbin when it is at rest, at the lower end of the bobbin delivery chute.
  • bobbin after being wound, passes downwardly through the chute 12 and is brought to rest against the door 16, at which time the tail of the yarn trailing from the bobbin is severed, by automatic mechanism well known in the art, and which forms a part of the Whitin- Schweiter machine to which the present invention is applied.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 disclose a design of such mechanism, including the door 16, and the associated operating parts of this winding machine, including the bobbin carrier arm 52 and its stop 54, and the bobbin plunger cam 56.
  • Fig. 2 and 3 disclose a design of such mechanism, including the door 16, and the associated operating parts of this winding machine, including the bobbin carrier arm 52 and its stop 54, and the bobbin plunger cam 56.
  • the door 16 is shown near its elevated position, which position leaves the outlet of the chute exposed, and this view illustrates the condition of parts after a wound and marked bobbin has been delivered from the chute. It will be observed that the shaft 18 is oscillated through an angle, whereby the plunger 24 of the marking implement is near its outermost position, withdrawn from the opening 20 through the side wall of the'chute 12.
  • Fig. 3 shows the marking position of the plunger 24.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 disclose the conventional and well known parts of this winding machine, as necessary to indicate the manner in which the shaft 18, which carries my bobbin marking device, is oscillated.
  • I have used the same numerals for corresponding parts, as are In Fig. 3, it will be noted that the plunger 24 1.
