Definitions

  • weighted top rolls cooperate with lower rolls which are rotatably supported in an underframe of the mechanism.
  • the top rolls are individually suspended from a pivoted arm which is movable between operative and inoperative positions, and springs act between the pivoted arm ⁇ and the top rolls suspended therefrom to urge the latter toward the related lower rolls ⁇ with respect to the pivoted arm in the operative position of the latter. It is apparent that the springs acting between the pivoted arm and the individually suspendedtop rolls will be effective to weight the latter, or to press them against the related lower rolls, only so long as the pivoted arm is locked in its operative position against the reactions to the forces of the springs against the top rolls.
  • one existing device for releasably retaining the pivoted top roll supporting arm in its operative position includes a lever pivotally mounted on the supporting arm and formed with a detent engageable with a spring biased latch element that is pivotally mounted on the xed support of the top roll carrying arm.
  • a latch member pivotally mounted on the pivoted arm and having a nose
  • a locking member pivoted on the xed support of the top roll supporting arm for angular movement between first and second pivotal positions and having a keeper engageable by the nose of the latch member to prevent upward movement ⁇ of the pivoted arm from its operative position
  • spring means acting on the latch member to urge the latter to a predetermined pivotal position
  • the keeper of the locking member is disposed in the path of the nose on the latch member when the latter is in its predetermined pivotal position and the locking member is in the first position thereof, while the keeper is located in relation to the pivoting axis of the locking member to cause the latter to move from said first position to said second position by the reaction to the spring loading of the top rolls applied by engagement of the nose with the keeper.
  • the keeper and nose are shaped to resist movement of the latch member to its predetermind spring-urged position when the locking member moves to its second position while the nose engages the keeper so that the latch member returns to its predetermined position to free the nose from the keeper and thereby release the pivoted arm for upward movement from its operative position only when the pivoted arm is iirst depressed.
  • the latch member and the locking member of a locking device embodying this invention have cooperating surfaces which are slidably engageable during upward movement of the pivoted arm from its operative position to forcibly displace the locking member from its second position to its first position where the keeper is again disposed to receive the nose of the latch member upon return of the pivoted arm to its operative position.
  • the forcible positive movement of the locking member by the latch member upon movement of the latter with the pivoted top roll supporting arm ensures that the locking device will operate reliably and will resist breakdowns.
  • the locking member may be provided with a handle portion projecting beyond the fixed support on which the top roll supporting arm is pivoted, so that the locking member may be manually displaced from its second position to its first position where the keeper is disposed to receive the nose of the latch member.
  • the locking device may be reengaged following the unlocking thereof without requiring the upward movement of the top roll supporting arm to its inoperative position.
  • stop members are preferably provided for engagement by the locking member in the first and second positions of the latter, thereby to limit the pivotal movement of the locking member, and the latter is also provided with means frictionally resisting the pivotal movement of the locking member so that the latter is angularly displaced only in response to the forces applied by engagement with the latch member.

  • Fig. 6 is another view similar to that of Fig. 4, but showing the relative positions of the elements of the locking device upon reengagement thereof.
  • the textile drawing mechanism there illustrated includes a fixed support or bracket 2 secured on a supporting rod 1 of a spinning machine or the like.
  • the fixed support 2 includes spaced apart side members having upwardly directed legs carrylng a pin 3 extending therebetween.
  • An arm 4 of downwardly opening U-shaped cross-section is pivotally mounted, at one end, on the pin 3, and the usual top rolls 5 are individually suspended from the pivoted arm 4 by suitable saddles (not shown) with springs (also not shown) acting between the pivoted arm 4 and the top roll 5 suspended therefrom to urge the latter toward related lower rolls 19 which are rotatably supported in an underframe of the mechanism, for example, in the manner indicated in United States Letters Patent No. 2,751,632, issued lune 26, 1956, to E.

  • a helical spring 20 is provided on pin 14 at one side of locking member 15 in order to urge the latter axially against a member 21 which is also supported on pin 14 and which is formed of a material having a high coeicient of friction, for example, rubber Iand the like, so that the locking member will be frictionally held against inadvertent pivoting on the pin 14 and must be forcibly moved between the two positions of the locking member illustrated in Fig. 1.
  • the keeper 13 of locking member 15 and the nose 30 of latch member 9 are shaped and arranged so that, with the locking member 15 in the full-line position of Fig. 1 and with the latch member in the predetermined position established by the spring 11, the keeper 13 will be out of the path of movement of the nose 30', thereby to free the pivoted arm 4 for upward movement from its operative position to a raised inoperative position.

  • the keeper 13 and the nose 30 are shaped and disposed on the locking member and latch member, respectively, so that, with the locking member 15 in the broken line position of Fig. 1 and with the latch member 9 in the predetermined position established by the spring 11, and wherein the legs of the spring 11 are equally stressed, the nose 30' will engage in the keeper 13 to lock the pivoted arm 4 against upward movement from its operative position.
  • the pivoted top roll supporting arm 4 is initially depressed or moved downwardly from its operative position so that the pin 8 supporting latch member 9 moves toward the right, thereby to withdraw nose 30 from keeper 13 and to permit the spring 11 to angularly return the latch member to its predetermined position, that is, in the counterclockwise direction as viewed in Fig. 1, so that the keeper 13 no longer extends into the path of movement of nose 30.

  • the locking member 15 has been described above as being moved from its full line position to its broken line position where it is again engageable by the nose 30 of latch member 9 in response to upward movement of pivoted arm 4 to its raised inoperative position, relooking of the locking device can be achieved without such movement of the pivoted arm 4 to its fully raised inoperative position.
  • the handle portion 18 of locking member 15 may be manually actuated to move the locking member to its broken line position on Fig. 1, whereupon a downward force applied to pivoted arm 4 will again cause nose 30 of latch member 9 to be engaged in keeper 13 of the locking member.
