ATTORNEY United States Patent 'O CLAMP y'rinomati L. Browntey and william F. Paulsen, Aiken,
S. C., assignors to E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Cornpany, Wilmington, Del., a corporation of Delaware Application December 10, 1953, Serial No. 397,416 1 claim. (C1. 24-136) This invention relates to a clamp adapted for holding rope-like objects, such as a bundle of textile filaments or yarns, and is more particularly concerned with a clamp suitable for feeding fiber bundles to a cutter and which is adapted to hold the fibers firmly during cutting and then forcibly eject the cut fibers when opened.
Artificial fibers are spun in continuous lengths, whereas -most natural fibers are produced in short lengths. In vorder to blend the two types of fibers, it is necessary to .cut the artificial fibers into corresponding short lengths or staple. Also, staple is frequently desirable so that the artificial fibers can be processed like wool or cotton, and lso that similar effects can be achieved in the products. l Continuot'ls filaments or yarns are most advantageously handled for cutting while in the form of a tow, i. e., a large number of filaments or yarns gathered together as a single bundle. Cutting devices are available for severing such tows, but their eficient operation requires that the tow be held positively during cutting and that the cut fibers be discharged readily afterward into a suitable receiver. A suitable clamping device should hold each individual filament in fixed position relative to the other filaments, so that all of the filaments will be cut to a uniform length, and should release the filaments in a manner which will provide for easy removal from the clamping device. This last is especially difficult with filaments treated with textile finish, as the cut fibers adhere to the clamping device and clog it to such an extent that it must be cleaned after each cut before the tow can be regripped for further cutting.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a clamp which is suitable for holding filament tow and the like for such operations as cutting and which will positively eject filaments when opened to provide a self-cleaning feature. Other objects will become apparent from the following disclosure and claim.
The manner in which the present invention achieves the desired objects will become evident after a study of the drawings of a preferred embodiment, in which,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the clamp closed on a tow of filaments,
Figure 2 is a plan view of the clamp in the open position after ejecting the filaments.
Figure 3 is a cross-sectional elevation of the clamp in the open position, taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2, and
Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the component parts of the clamp.
The clamp comprises a hollow frame member which is attached to a suitable support by angle irons 11 and 12. A number of these clamps may be arranged at intervals along a continuous conveyor belt, to which they are attached by the angle irons, and operated to feed a continuous tow to a cutter or other treatment. In such installations, frame member 10 may be arranged to slide on surfaces 13 and 14 over a track, indicated at 15 in Figure 3, and a roller 17, mounted on the frame membei, may be arranged to engage a groove in the track 2,821,001 Patented Jan. 28, 1958 ICC to prevent longitudinal displacement of the frame member.
p A slotted frame extension is formed by two flat plates 18 and 20, each of which is cut out to form a hook or V-shaped stationary jaw, 19 and 21 respectively. A flat inner plate 22 is arranged for sliding movement between the outer jaw plates 18 and 20, and is cut out to form a complementary jaw 24 adapted to cooperate with stationary jaws 19 and 21, for holding a tow or other object, indicated at 30 in Figure l. This jaw is moved to the open position, shown in Figure 3, by means of cam roller 25, designed to roll along the side of a cam track.
The construction of the clamp is most easily seen in Figure 4. The flat sliding member 22, in which jaw 24 is formed, is on the end of a rod 26 arranged to fit snugly within hollow frame member 10. A reduced portion 27 of the rod is adapted to receive a spring 23. The spring surrounds the reduced portion and rests against the shoulder 28 formed at the junction with the larger diameter portion of the rod. A washer 29 may be used between this end of the spring and this shoulder. The other end of the spring rests against the sleeve shoulder 31- of frame extension 32, a washer 33 being used at this point if desired. Extension 32 is bolted to the end of frame member 10 as shown in the other figures. Cam roller 25 is mounted on tail piece 34 which is drilled to fit on a reduced end portion 35 of rod 26. The end of the rod is threaded at 36-and the tail piece is bolted inplace with nuts 37 and 38. The cam roller 25 protrudes through a slot 39 (Figure 3) of suiicient length to permit movement to the left, under the action of spring 23, until jaw 24 is in the closed position.
The stationary outer jaw plates are secured to frame member 10 by bolting them on opposite sides of a lower tongue 41 and a shorter upper tongue 42. These tongues may be made integral with the frame member, as shown, and keep the stationary jaw plates in properly spaced relationship to accommodate the movable jaw plate 22 between them. The outer jaws are hook-shaped and face inward toward the frame member, while the inner jaw is hook-shaped and faces outward in the opposite direction. When the tow 30, or other object to be held, is laid across the opening between the jaws, as shown in Figure 3, and cam roller 25 is released to allow the spring to close the jaws, the hooked jaws surround the tow and hold it firmly under the pressure of the spring, as shown in Figure 1. A suitable spring is selected to give the required pressure, of course. The spring closing and design are such that the same clamp can be used to grip a variety of sizes of tows or other objects securely.
A highly important feature of the clamp comes into operation when it is desired to release the object held, as after a tow has been cut through on each side of the clamp to form a bundle of staple ber. The jaw plates are cut out in such a way that the surfaces opposite to the jaws slope outward away from the jaws. Thus in Figure 4 the surface 43 slopes upward to the left away from the hooked or V-shaped jaw 24. When the cam roller 25 is moved to the right, this sloping surface 43 positively disengages the fiber bundle from the outer jaws 19 and 21, as shown in Figure 3. The corresponding sloping surfaces 44 and 45 on the outer jaw plates 18 and 20 similarly disengage the bundle from inner jaw 24. Further movement of cam roller 25 to the right squeezes the fiber bundle between the sloping surfaces and ejects the bundle out of the openings in plates 18, 20 and 22. This action provides a valuable self-cleaning feature which is especially important if the fibers have been treated with a finish that is at all sticky.
Considerable variation is possible in the clamp design while still retaining the important novel features of this invention. Pneumatic or electromagnetic means may be `11s-ect tot openland close` the jaws, instead of the spring and canr arrangement' shown; The jaws can 1bemade in a variety of shapes to adapt them to particular clampingA problems. AInstead *of* the V-shape shown, they can be'roundedi square, hexagonal, etc: vEither jaw"24nor jaws 1(9and 21Vcan be at aisimple right angle, ifea, cut'pemendicular to the' direction of viewing in'FigureZ. -The self-"cleaning surfaces` 43,44; andl` 45^'1can be cut at variousjangl'es'.
