Definitions

  • the invention has reference to the drafting apparatus used in textile spinning, doubling and twisting machines, such apparatus being of the known type in which the sliver, roving or the like is conducted in its passage through the drafting zone between the forwardly moving surfaces of an endless travelling apron and a single roller about an arc of the surface of which said apron is stretched, the apron being trained between two spaced members of which the rearmost is a roller (the aprondriving roller) pressed against said single roller to provide a positive driving nip for the apron and a positive restraining nip for the trailing ends of the fibres composing' the sliver, roving or the like, whilst the other member (the foremost apron guiding-member) is a bar or a small diameter roller located in an advanced position spaced from the said single roller and nearer to the nip of the next line of drafting rollers
  • the invention provides that the leading edge or hose of the apron where it passes over the foremost apron-guiding member shall be adjustable in position both with respect to its distance from the nip of the next following drafting rollers and to the plane containing the nip of the next following drafting rollers and the nip of the apron driving-roller, thereby simultaneously affording an adjustment of the'length of the arc of contact between the apron and the single roller over which the apron is stretched.
  • the invention provides improved means by which such adjustment of the position of the nose of the apron may be effected.
  • Such means may consist of a foremost apronguiding member formed preferably as a bar of non-circular cross-sectional shape, capable of being rotated about its longitudinal axis and fixed in any desired setting.
  • a bar or roller of circular section may be capable of being moved laterally with components of motion in the vertical and horizontal planes containing its longitudinal axis.
  • Another alternative method of carrying the invention into effect consists insubstituting for the foremost apron guiding member other members of different cross-sectional shapes and/or dimensions providing alternative positions for the nose of the apron.
  • FIG. l is a fore-and-aft section of a textile drafting apparatus incorporating two draftingzones using three lines of rollers.
  • Fig. 2 is a fragmentary detail illustrating an alternative method to that shown.
  • Fig. 1 of mounting the foremost apron-guiding member.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 are fragmentary perspective views, respectively from front and rear, of the apron system shown in Fig, 1,
  • the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 comprises a roller.- stand 1, carrying in bearings 2i, 3 and 4', respectively, three lines of bottom rollers, viz. the feed roller 5, the intermediate roller 6 and the front fluted roller 7. Also mounted on the roller-stand 1, is a pivotal supporting arm 8 by which the upper drafting elements are carried in bearings 9, 10, 11 and 12.
  • the arm 3 is of inverted channel-section'(see Fig. 4) and the bearings 9, l0 and 11 are slidable thereon in a fore-and-aft direction.
  • Said bearings 9 to 12 respectively support the upper feed roller 13, the apron-guiding roller 14, the foremost apron-guiding member'15' and the upper front roller 16.
  • a continuous apron 17 is stretched over the'roller 14 and the guiding member 15, condensers 18 and 19 are mounted on the bearings 2 and 3 so as to occupy positions on the intake'side'of the nip of'the respectiverollers Sand 6, and a seivedge guide 8a is supported at the rearend of the arm 8.
  • the arm 8, together with the members carried thereby as aforesaid, is rockable toward and away from the lower elements, including the roller 6.
  • the settings of the bearings 9, 10' and 11 are fixed to provide the desired inter-roller spacing, according to the length of staple of the material under treatment, by means of setscrews 29, 21 and 22 respectively.
  • the lower intermediate roller 6 is of substantially larger diameter than is the conventional drafting roller occupying this position, and it is preferably provided with a soft covering or tire of synthetic rubber'or other similarly resilient durable material.
  • This roller is con veniently constituted by a shaft 23 upon which .arefix'ed ground steel sleeves 61 spaced in accordance with the spindle gauge, each such sleeve being provided with a covering or the 62 as aforesaid.
  • Said shaft 23 may. ex; tend continuously throughout the length of the machine, or of a section thereof, means being provided for driving it at the appropriate speed for intake of the roving on sliver to be drafted. It is desirable that said lower roller 6 should be of larger diameter than the next succeeding lower roller encountered by the fibres.
  • the apron-guiding roller 14 is a plain roller, having end-flanges 24 which serve to guide the apron I7 truly over "its surface and also to locate 'the apron with respect to the lower roller 6 over which it is stretched, said flanges 24 extending radially to overlap the ends of the tire 6,2 of the'lowe'r roller 6.
  • the foremost apron-guiding meniber 15 and the rearfianged driving roller14 are so disposed With reference to the large lower roller 6 thatithe apron 17 .is' stretched with its under-surface around a substantial arc of the upper surface of the latter.
  • the flanged roller 14 presses the apron against the :large lower roller 6, thereby providing the necessary positive nip whereby the apron I7 is driven forwardly on its underside
  • the foremost apron-guiding member .15 . is a harof non-circular cross-sectional shape having one axis longer than the other; this bar is normally stationary, its edges being rounded to facilitate the passageof the.
  • apronabout it may be rotated about its longitudinal axis by releasing the setscrew 25, and raised or lowered by releasing the setscrew 26, when necessary for the purpose of regulating the position of the nose of the apron system (a) with respect to its distance from the nip of the next line of rollers ,7,, 16, and (b) with respect to. the plane containing the nip of the rollers 7, 16 and .thenip of the apron-guiding roller 14 with the roller 6, simultaneously affording an adjustment of the length of the arc of contact of the apron 17 with the roller 6.
  • said guiding-member 15 is adjusted so as to withdraw the nose of the apron 17 from the next roller'nip and thereby to increase the length of the arc of contact between the apron 17 and the lower roller 6, automatically increasing the displacement of the apron nose belowthe yarn line and, by deflecting the fibre-body around the apron nose, giving enhanced control over the fibres in the comparatively long distance separating the apron-driving nip and the nip of the next rollers 7, 16.
  • the apparatus may be adapted for treating fibres of supernormal staple lengths by shifting the apron system 14, 17,15 bodily in a fore-and-aft direction, the flanged idler 14 being maintained always in driving contact with the, large lower roller 6, and the foremost guiding-memher 15 being'alway's so located that the apron 17 leaves thesurface of said large lower roller 6 before arriving at said guiding-member 15.
  • the apron guiding roller 14 and, the foremost guidother, and in such case an idler roller or pulley may be provided for maintaining the correct operating tension of the apron; such idler roller might, if desired, also perform the function of an apron clearer.
