Definitions
- the present invention relates to apparatus for crimping bers such as continuous iilaments or staple fibers of regenerated cellulose, cellulose derivatives or polymer type resins such as the polyamides, the polyesters'-, and the polyacrylics.
- the invention concerns the'mechanical crimping of bers disposed in the formv of a continuous sheet.
- the conventional practice in the art of mechanical crimping of fibers comprises processes in which the crimping is performed upon continuous strands orbundles and rarely upon thin sheets thereof. This is particularly true in the operation of machines for converting filament to staple ber wherein the continuous staple product thereof may be condensed into a bundle or sliver and then subjected to mechanical crimping.
- the thinness of the body in which the bers are disposed is a primary factor for facilitating the mechanical development of crimp iny the bers, and rather than following the conventional practice of first condensing and then crimping, it is better to iirst crimp the iibers in the form of a thin sheet and then condense them intov a sliver or other desired bundle form.
- Such machines as are known to exist for the purpose of crimping thin sheets of fibers include the type known as the tongue and groove crimp'er in which the iibers are subjected to deformation between opposing ycrimping members. The hard metallic surfaces tend to injurethe fibers folded therebetween.
- Fig. 1 is a side elevation of crimping apparatus in accordance with the invention
- IFig. 2 is an end view of a portion of the of Fig. l as viewed from line lI-II;
- Fig. 3 is a fragmentary plan view of a side portion of the upper crimping apron and supporting assembly therefor;
- Fig. 4 Vis a fragmentary plan view of a side portion of the lower crimping apron and supporting assembly therefor;
- Fig. 5 is a fragmentary plan viewfof the fiber-condensing section of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1; and 4 Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic view 'of the drive system for theapparatus shown in Fig. 1;.
- the invention consists of apparatus comprising a pair of opposed crimping belts orV aprons which are relatively adjustable to change the contour of the fiber-storage region, dened by mutually-facing sections of the belts, and a feeding device for positively advancing a sheet of bers into the fiber-storage region.
- the apparatus additionally includes a condensing section for applying lateral forces to the crimpedproduct so as to bunch the bers into a continuous rotund iiber body, and also a drive system for varying the speed of the crimping belts relative to the-speed of the feeding device.
- the belts are preferably formed of a resilient material, such as an elastic vulcani- Zate or an elastic vulcanizate reinforced with one or more pliesof fabric.
- Figs. l and 2 show two belts or aprons 5 and 6, positioned one above the other to receive a sheet of'bers discharged from the nip of a pair of rolls '7 and 8. .
- the apron ⁇ 6' is supported bya driven roll v10 and idler rolls 11 and 12,.
- shafts 15 and 16 of rolls 10 and 11, respectively, are journaled in portions of a frame 14.
- the roll 12 is resiliently supported with respect to theframe 14 by two assemblies, each of which comprises aguide-bearing element 1.7 and a spring 18 in bearing relation with a -trunnion or shaft portion of the rolli 12 extending beyond each of its end surfaces.
- a nut 19- is threaded onto a shank portion of the element .17 whereby the compression of the spring 18 may be' changed to alter the pressure of the r-oll 12 against the interior surface of the belt 6.
- the upwardly-facing section or reach 6a of the belt 6 passes over the top surface of a supporting panel 21 which is secured by al flange portion thereof and screws 22 to the upper surface of the frame 14'.
- The-panel '21 ⁇ supports the belt along a desired path as it passes fromV the roll 11 to the rolli 10.
- Theframe 154 is secured in Xedposition to astanchion 2:3.
- the upper belt'5 is supported by a driven rollL 25 and idler rolls 26 and 27, of which the roll 26 has'an alxis iixed with respect to a frame 28, while the roll 27 is supported in the same manner as roll 12 to resiliently engage with the inner surface of the belt 5 and thus tension.
- the belt Cooperating withthe rolls rsupporting the belt 5V is a panel or housing 29 which has a downwardlyfacing belt-supporting surface contoured convexly or eX- tending along an angular path, as shown in Figure 11,'to provide an enlarged fiber-receiving portion inthe region 30, defined by the mutually-facing surfaces or opposing reaches of the belts.
- a stationary guide 31 is *xedly supported between the roll i5 andl the ber-receiving end of the belt 6.
- the upper iiat surface of the guide 31 underlies the entire width of the fibrous. blanket' discharged by the rolls 7 and 8 whereby it channels the blanket into the region 30.
- thel belts 5 andif6, and the respective supporting assemblies therefor are preferably movable relative to each other to permit adjustment of the inclination of one ber-engaging section or reach of one belt with respect to' the' mutuallyfacingsection or opposing reach of the other belt. Adljustability of one belt assembly with respect to theotheris required also for changing the spacing between orthe pressure withA which the opposing belt reaches-are urged toward each other so as to facilitate control over the degree of crimp imparted to the fibers.
- the apron 6, and supporting apparatus therefor is mounted in fixed position relative to the path of the fibrous material through the system, while the upper belt assembly is movably mounted by a frame 2S which is pivotable with respect to a vertically reciprocable carriage 32.
- carriage 32 is slotted longitudinally within each of its bearing sections 33 and 34 and comprises a tie plate 3S, extending between the bearing sections, and slide portions 36 and 37 which are dovetailed to guide plates 33 and 3g.
- the slots fil and l2 in the sections 33 and 34 permit the entire assembly comprising the belt 5, the frame 28, and the rolls 2S, 26, and 27 to move in a direction toward and away from the stanchion 23,
- the frame 23 is resiliently attached to a pair of stationary brackets 13 and 44 by extension of rods 45 and i6 which pass through pivotable elements 47 and 4S of the brackets 43 and 44 respectively.
- Resilient support of the frame 28 with respect to the brackets is provided by springs 5l and 52 disposed on opposite sides of each of the elements i7 and 43 and surrounding the rods 45 and 46.
- Both brackets 43 and 44 are rigidly connected to the stanchion 23 by a support S3.
- the reciprocable carriage 32 is urged downwardly by push rods S5 and 56 which extend through guides 57 and 5S.
- Springs 61 and 62 urge the push rods against the carriage 34 by being compressably supported between respective guides and lock nuts 63 threaded onto the push rods.
- the crimping belts discharge a sheet of fibers in crimped condition into a fiume 65, the sides of which are curved upwardly and converge lengthwise toward a curvate condenser 66 to facilitate condensing of the fibers within the liume 65 itself.
- the forward section 65a of the fhune is entirely continuous across its top, or closed over.
- the condenser 66 has a nozzle portion adapted to feed the condensed fibers between condenser rolls 63 and 69.
- the condensing roll 68 has a middle section of a diameter smaller than its side sections but of approximately the same axial length as the roll 69, whereby the latter roll may radially overlap and rotate between the side sections of the roll 63 to provide a condensing passageway between the two rolls. ln addition to further condensing the fibers, the rolls 68 and 69 also advance the continuous condensed product through the flume 65 and the condenser 66.
- the condensing rolls discharge a sliver-like product in the rotary top 71 of a coiler 72.
- the top 71 is rotated by means, such as that shown, comprising a bevel gear 73, a motor 74, and a sprocket drive 7S interconnecting the bevel gear and motor.
- the various driven components of the apparatus herein described may be driven in the manner as illustrated in Fig. 6 wherein a motor 77 drives the feed rolls 7 and 8 through a gear reduction unit 78, with a sprocket drive connecting the unit with the shaft 79 of the roll 8 and a pair of gears 7a and 3a interconnecting rolls 7 and 8 for simultaneous movement. Since it is desired that the fiber-advancing rate of the crimping system be adjustable with respect to that of the rolls 7 and 8, the motor 77 drives a variable speed unit 81, the output shaft 82 of l which is connected with the shaft S3 of the roll 10. The rolls it? and 25 are driveably connected by gears lila and 25a respectively.
- the condensing rolls 68 and 69 may be driven in an unvarying ratio with the crimping aprons by connecting the output shaft of the unit 3l, as by a sprocket drive, with one of the condensing rolls 68 or 69 in the manner shown.
- the driving system described is merely illustrative of one of the many ways in which the various driven components of the crimping apparatus may be driveably connected.
- the position of the axis of the roll 25 is not positively xed with respect to the axis of the roll Mi, the length of the teeth of the meshing gears ttm and 25a is suiiicient to maintain driving relation between the rolls, even though the roll 25 may undergo shifts in position.
- the apparatus herein described is especially adapted for operation in conjunction with machines such as lilarnent-to-staple fiber converting machines which discharge iibers in the form of a flat continuous blanket.
- This apparatus effectively utilizes the principle of disposing a large body of fibers in a flat thin blanket whereby the fibers may be sharply and advantageously folded in a direction transversely to the general plane of the blanket.
- the present invention does not depend on metallic or other hard surfaces to impress crimp in the fibers but instead, crimping is accomplished between the resilient surfaces of cooperating belts which minimize crushing or other injury of the fibers.
- the crimping apparatus herein described may be readily adapted to other treatments such as liquid treatments or heat setting of the fibers. To implement such treatments the belts 5 and 6 and the belt-supporting panels may be made permeable to permit the passage of gas or liquid.
- Apparatus for producing a continuous body of crimped fibers of rotund cross-section comprising a pair of endless crimping belts and means for supporting the belts with sections thereof in opposed mutually-facing relationship, means for driving the belts at the same speed with said sections moving concurrently, said sections being spaced to define a fiber-storage region larger at its tiberreceiving end than at its liber-discharging end, a sheetcondensing means, means for advancing the fibers through the condensing means operating at substantially the same rate of fiber-advancement as the endless crimping belts, said belts being disposed for advancing the ber directly to the condensing means, and means for advancing said body of relatively uncrirnped iibers into the fiber-receiving end of said region at a rate greater than the rate of advancement of said belts.
- the condensing means comprises a flume having upcurving side portions which converge in the direction of liber-advancement.
- Apparatus as defined in claim l wherein said means for advancing the fiber through said condensing means comprises a pair of condensing rolls in peripheral reentrant relationship.
- Apparatus for crimping a continuous sheet of bers comprising means for positively advancing said fibers as a sheet, a pair of endless crimping belts and means for supporting the belts with sections thereof in opposed mutuallyfacing relationship, means for driving the belts with said sections moving concurrently at the same speed, said sections being spaced to define a liber-storage region between the belts larger at its fiber-receiving end than at its fiber-discharging end, means for condensing the sheet of crimped fibers discharged by the belts into a continuous product of rotund cross-section, means for drawing the fibers through the condensing means, said belts being disposed between the rst advancing means andthe condensing means to advance bers directly away from said irst advancing means to the condensing means, means. for driving the rst advancing means at a rate in predetermined ratio and in excess of that of the belts, and means for driving the second advancing means at a rate in
