Definitions
- the present invention relates to ,a drive assembly for v ayarn-collecting tube upon which a wound .yarn package is formed.
- MYlIlVEIllIlOfl is especially applicable for use with the less expensive-type tubes such as those madeof soft paper or soft plastic.
- the tube may be formed --from a rubber compound known commercially .as
- Another object of my invention- is to provide a novel .and improved drive unit for rotating yarn-collection tubes formed. of soft material wherein the tubes are held ;sub- ;-stant ially in perfect concentricity during rotation.
- Another object of my invention is to provide a drive unit for yarn-collection tubes wherein scratching, grooving or ;marring of the inner surface of yarn-collection tubes is; eliminated.
- Still another objectof my invention is to provide a novel and improveddrive unit for yarn-collection tubes wherein the yarn-collection tubes may be rapidly installed and removed from the drive .unit.
- Figure 1 is a-view partially sectioned showing a yarncollection tube assembly including my novel drive unit;
- Figure 2 is a section taken along lines II, .11 .of Figre Figure ,3 ,is a section similar to' Figure -2 of vafditferent embodiment of my invention.
- Figure 4 is a section taken along lines IV, IV of Figure 3.
- a drive shaft or spindle 3 of a yarn-collection assembly supports a base member 5 upon which is seated a yarn-collection tube 7.
- the base member 5 and the tube 7 are adapted to be rotatable with the drive shaft 3.
- a yarn tube-centering 'member generally identified as 9 is secured to the upper portion of the shaft 3 for guiding and generally facilitating the installation and removal of the tube from the base member 5.
- the tube-centering member 9 is formed of a hub 11 and end plates 13, 13 welded or otherwise secured to the hub 11.
- the centering member 9 isfixed in position upon the drive shaft 3 by a short set screw 15 which extends through the hub 11 and is anchored against the periphery of shaft 3.
- the tube-centering means 9 forms a sliding fit only, as does the base member 5, with the inner surface of the tube 7.
- the ,face portion of the ,s'hoe 17 is ofsmaller cross section than the body portion of the shoe so that the bent extensions 22, 22 of the end plates'13, 13 prevent the'body portion of the shoe 17 ,from passing through the'restricted 'passagewayflfs.
- the shoe faces 21, .21 have a. curvature whichcorresponds to-the curvature ,of the inner surface of the tuhe 7.
- the faces '21, 2 1 of the shoes 17, 17 lie in perfect con- ,centricity when the shoes are in their tube-gripping position.
- the faces 21, 21 of the shoes describe arcs along a single circle.
- the concentr'icity or true circular shape of the tube '7 is maintained during the yarn-collection operation which ,condition is essentialto provide uniform and even windingof the yarn on the tubes.
- This feature is of special advantage when used with collection tubes which. are formed of a soft material such as a rubbery material or, soft paper material since a good concentricity of the tube is.essential to provide'uniform and even winding of the yarn ont'he tube.
- To use these types of tubes presents a great advantage in that they areless expensive than the hard plastic or thick cardboard tubes. 7
- the shaft used may be the actual spindle 3. This distance is, of course, the same for each shoe.
- the faces 21, 21 of the shoes 17, 17 are ground by an operator until they describe arcs along a single circle so that they lie in perfect concentricity.
- the position in which the shoes 17, 17 are fixed prior to the grinding operation correspond to the position in which the shoes will lie when in gripping contact with the inner surface of a yamcollection tube 7.
- the faces 21, 21 of the shoes 17, 17 are somewhat elongated so that each face follows a good portion of the circumference of the inner surface of the tube 7.
- the tube 7 is gripped along a substantial portion of its inner circumference to provide uniform and substantial driving contact with the tube.
- Such overall contact serves to eliminate marring of the inner surface of the tube.
- the drive elements have small contact areas whereby the gripping pressure is applied along small areas of the tube which tends to create wear spots on the inner surface of the tube. With my device, this pressure is distributed along the tube circumference.
- the shoes 17, 17 pivot freely on their pins 19, 19 so that the shoes will move outwardly
- the shoes 17, 17 will begin to progress outwardly toward the inner surface of the tube 7 almost simultaneously with the init al rotation of the drive spindle 3 whereby rotation of the tube 7 is started at a much earlier stage than with the resilient-type drive' units heretofore developed.
- FIG. 3 and 4 of the drawing A different embodiment of my invention isshown in Figures 3 and 4 of the drawing.
- One salient feature of this embodiment lies in the fact that the outward movement of an individual tube-gripping shoe is eliminatedto the extent that the shoes must move outward simultaneously.
- a tubecentering member 35 is supported in fixed position upon a drive shaft 37.
- the tube-centering means forms only a sliding fit with the tube 7.
- a plurality of tube-gripping shoes 39, 39 are pivotably supported in non-restricted manner by pins 41, 41 wh ch extend through the tube-centering member 35 and the shoes 39, 39. Pivotally attached to each shoe 39 is a link 43.
- the opposite end of the link 43 is in turn pivotably attached to a rotatable or sliding ring 45.
- the ring 45 is supported by the links 43, 43 in position between the tube-centering ous formation with the other shoes whereby the faces of the shoes 39, 39 will contact the inner surface of the tube 7 at exactly the same moment.
- the ring 45 does not exert appreciably retarding force upon the outward movement of the shoes 39, 39 but does retard their outward movement to the extent that they must all move in simultaneous formation.
- each shoe 39 has the approximate curvature as that of the inner circumference of the tube with the same resultant advantages as set forth above in the description of the first embodiment.
- a drive assembly for a yarn-collecting tube comprising a drive shaft for the yarn tube, a yarn-collecting tube-centering member mounted upon the drive shaft, a plurality of freely pivotable yarn tube-gripping shoes mounted upon the tube-centering member, a rotatable ring positioned between the shoes and the centering member, a pivotable link secured at one end to each shoe with the opposite end of each link being secured to the ring, said ring being rotatable by the pull of the shoes as they move outwardly through centrifugal force to plurality of tube gripping shoes pivotally mounted upon said centering.,member, said shoes being adapted to ,--swing outwardly under centrifugal force to grip a yarn tube mounted on said centering member when said drive shaft is rotated, and means interconnecting said shoes and prescribing simultaneous outwardmovement thereof.
- a drive assembly for a yarn-collecting tube according to claim 2 comprising curved gripping faces on the shoes which faces have a curvature approximating that of the inside curvature of the yarn-collecting tube.
