Definitions

  • Another object is to provide in a stuffer crimper novel and improved means for regulating the feed of material into the crimping chamber.
  • Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a stutter crimper embodying the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof with parts in section to show the details of construction
  • P Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 3-3 of Referring to the drawing more in detail a crimping chamber block is attached to a supporting plate 11 by screws 12.
  • the block 10 is formed with a vertical bore in which a sleeve 13 is fixed as by a press fit.
  • a tube 14 forming a crimping chamber fits loosely in the sleeve 13 and is secured by a clamping nut 15 threaded onto the tapered split end 16 of the sleeve 13.
  • a fixed bracket 20 is attached to the plate 11 by screws 21.
  • the plate 11 carries a bearing block 22 in which is journaled a shaft 23 carrying a feed roll 24.
  • An arm 25 is pivoted to the bracket 20 by a pin 26.
  • the arm 25 carries a bearing block 27 in which is journaled a shaft 28 carrying a feed roll 29.
  • the shaft 23 is driven by a motor, not shown.
  • the shaft 28 is driven in unison therewith by meshing gears 30 and 31 carried by the respective shafts.
  • the lower end of the tube 14 is slotted to receive the rolls 24 and 29 and extends below the bite of the rolls to form therewith a substantially closed chamber to receive the yarn 35 for crimping.
  • the feed rolls are held in adjustable pressure engagement with the yarn 35 by a leaf spring 36 which is pivoted around a post 37 on the plate 11 with its lower end attached by a link 38 to a pin 39 on the arm 25 and with its upper end abutting against an adjustable screw 40 threaded in a plate 41 attached to the plate 11 by screws 42.
  • the tube 14 projects above the block 10.
  • a tubular plunger 45 rests on the crimped yarn 46 in the tube 14 and carries a collar 47 which is engaged by the forked end 48 of a lever 49 which is pivoted at 50 to the plate 11.
  • the collar 47 also serves as a weight to determine the back pressure on the material 46 in the crimping chamber.
  • a link 54 extends between the lever 49 and an arm 55 attached to the screw 40 and is so arranged that an upward pull on the link 54 turns the screw 40 in a direction to reduce the pressure exerted by the spring 36 on the 2,734,229 Patented Feb. 14, 1956 feed rolls 24 and 29.
  • the screw 40 is returned by a spring 56 attached to the arm 55.
  • the crimped yarn 46 is withdrawn from the crimping chamber through the plunger 45 by take-up rolls 58 or is fed directly to a winder which may be of the constant speed type, as set forth in the copending application of Ewart H. Shattuck Serial No. 413,205 filed March 1, 1954 for Filament Crimping Apparatus.
  • the yarn 35 is guided to the feed rolls by a guide 59 secured by an arm 60 to the plate 11.
  • the feed rolls 24 and 29 are driven at constant speed by a driving means (not shown) and feed the yarn 35 into the crimping chamber against the pressure exerted by the mass of crimped yarn in said chamber.
  • the mass of crimped yarn is advanced along the chamber by the pressure of the incoming yarn and is withdrawn from the top of the chamber by take-up rolls 58.
  • the plunger 45 rests upon the mass of yarn in the chamber and rises or falls according to the quantity of crimped yarn therein.
  • the plunger 45 rises it elevates the lever 49 and exerts a pull on the link 54 which turns the screw 40 in a direction to reduce the pressure exertedby' the spring 36 on the feed rolls. This reduces the frictional pull of the feed rolls and increases the yarn slippage, thereby reducing the rate of feed into the chamber.
  • the link 54 falls and allows the screw 40 to turn in a direction to increase the pressure of the feed rollers and reduce the slippage of the yarn.
  • the screw 40 is turned for this purpose by the spring 56 or the link 54 may be made rigid in which case the spring 56 is not required.
  • the change in rate of feed thus produced is selected by adjustment of the parts so that the plunger 45 remains at a substantially constant level and the mass of crimped yarn in the crimping chamber is maintained constant. In this way a constant and uniform length of treatment in the crimping chamber is assured.
  • the chamber may be heated by suitable means such as by electrical heating means as shown in said copending application.
  • Apparatus for crimping yarn or the like comprising a member having a bore forming a crimping chamber, a pair of feed rolls to feed said yarn into one end of said chamber for crimping, take up means to withdraw crimped yarn from the other end of said chamber, a member bearing against the mass of crimped yarn at said other end of said chamber and movable in accordance with changes in the quantity of said yarn therein, and feed control means responsive to movement of said member to vary the pressure of said feed rolls on said yarn to control the yarn slippage in a sense to maintain a constant quantity of yarn in said chamber.
  • Apparatus for crimping yarn or the like comprising a member having a bore forming a crimping chamber, a pair of feed rolls to feed said yarn into one end of said chamber for crimping, take-up means to withdraw crimped yarn from the other end of said chamber, a plunger in said chamber bearing against the mass of crimped yarn therein and movable in accordance with changes in quantity of yarn in said chamber and feed control means responsive to movement of said plunger to vary the pressure of said feed rolls on said yarn to control the yarn slippage in a sense to maintain a constant quantity of yarn in said chamber.
  • Apparatus for crimping yarn or the like comprising a crimping chamber, a pair of feed rolls disposed to feed said yarn into one end of said chamber for crimping,
  • Apparatus for crimping yarn or the like comprising a crimping chamber, a pair of feed rolls disposed to feed said yarn into one end of said chamber for crimping, a fixed support carrying one of said rolls, a movable support pivoted to said fixed support and carrying the other of said rolls, spring means holding said rolls in pressure engagementwith the yarn to be fed thereby, a plunger in the other .end of said chamber bearing against the mass of crimped yarn therein and movable in accordance with changes in quantity of said yarn therein, means withdrawing crimped yarn from said other end of said chamber, and means responsive to movement of said plunger to vary the pressure of said spring means so as to control the yarn slippage in a sense to maintain a constant quantity of yarn in said chamber.
  • Apparatus for crimping yarn or the like comprising a crimping chamber, a pair of feed rolls disposed to feed said yarn into one end of said chamber for crimping, a fixed support carrying one of said rolls, a movable support pivoted to said fixed support and carrying the other of said rolls, spring-means holding said rolls in pressure engagement with the yarn to be fed thereby, a plunger in the other end of said chamber bearing against the mass of crimped yarn therein and movable in accordance with changes in quantity of said yarn therein, means withdrawing crimped yarn from said other end of said chamber, a screw carried by said fixed support and adapted to control the pressure of said spring means, a lever actuated by movement of said plunger, and a link connecting said lever to turn said screw to vary the yarn slippage in a sense to maintain a constant quantity of yarn in said chamber.
