Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for crimping continuous lilament yarn and tow and has for an object to provide'an apparatus of the above type having novel and improved characteristics.
  • Another object is to provide in a stuffer crimper novel and improved means for regulating the rate of withdrawal from the crimping chamber.
  • Fig. l is a top plan view of a stuffer crimper embodying the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof with parts in section to show the details of construction
  • Fig. 3 is a top plan view similar to Fig. 1 illustrating a further embodiment of the invention.
  • 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 xed bracket 2t is attached to the plate 11.
  • the plate 11 carries a bearing 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 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 carried by the respective shafts.
  • the lower end of the tube 14 is slotted to receive the rolls 24 and 29 and extend 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 spring 36 which is attached at one end to a post 37 on the arm 25 and at its other end to an adjustable pin 38 secured in a bracket 39 on the plate 11.
  • 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 pivoted lever 49 and also serves as a weight to determine the back pressure on the material 46 in the crimping chamber.
  • the crimped yarn 46 is withdrawn from the crimping chamber through the plunger 45 by take-up rolls 58 and 59 which are driven at constant speed by a pulley 60.
  • the yarn 35 is guided to the feed rolls by a guide 61 secured by an arm 62 to the plate 11.
  • the take-up rolls deliver the yarn to a constant tension Winder or the like (not shown) which is capable of receiving the l ll A2,734,252 ce Patented Feb. 14, 1956 2 yarn at a variable rate as delivered thereto by the rolls 58 and 59.
  • the take-up roll 58 is mounted on a bracket 65 attached to the plate 11.
  • the take-up roll 59 is mounted on an arm 66 pivoted at 67 to the bracket 65.
  • the rolls 58 and 59 are held in gripping contact with the crimped yarn 46 by a spring 68 attached at one end to a pin 69 on the arm 66 and at the other end to an adjustable pin 70 secured in an ear 71 on the bracket 65 and held in adjusted position by a nut 72.
  • a pin 75 is threaded in the bracket 65 and bears against a boss 76 on the arm 66.
  • the lever 49 is attached to the pin by a set screw 77 and thus turns the pin 75 as the plunger 45 rises or falls in the tube 14.
  • the yarn is guided to and from the take-up rolls by guides 78 and 79 attached to the bracket 65.
  • 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 under tension from the top of the chamber by take-up rolls 58 and 59.
  • 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 turns the pin 75 in a direction to reduce the clearance between the take-up rolls 58 and, 59. This increases the frictional pull of the take-up rolls and decreases the yarn slippage, thereby increasing:
  • the change in rate of withdrawal 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 time of treatment in the crimping chamber is assured.
  • the chamber may be heated by suitable means such as by electrical heating means not shown.
  • Take-up roll 59a is mounted in a fixed bracket 65a attached to the plate 11.
  • Take-up roll 58a is carried on an arm 66a pivoted at 67a to the bracket 65a.
  • the rolls 58a and 59a are held in adjustable pressure engagement with the crimped yarn 46 by a leaf spring 8), pivoted about a pin 81 on the bracket 65a and held under adjustable pressure by a pin 82 threaded in the bracket 65aV with its end bearing against the spring 80.
  • the lever 49 is attached to the pin 82 by a set screw 83 so that the pin 82 turns as the plunger 45 rises and falls.
  • the pin 82 is turned by the lever 49 in a direction to increase the pressure on the rolls and thereby reduce the slippage. This increases the rate of withdrawal of the yarn from the chamber and reduces the quantity of material in the chamber. Conversely, when the plunger 45 falls the pin 82 is turned in a direction to reduce the pressure on the rolls and thus increase the yarn slippage. In this way the rate of withdrawal is regulated so as to maintain a constant quantity of material in the chamber.
