- the yarn cake 10 from which a portion of the yarn is to be stripped is placed on a holder 11 and the yarn is led upwardly from the cake over a suitable guide 12 and secured to one of the arms 13 of a swift.
- the arms 13 are secured to a hub 14 mounted upon a. shaft extending between a pair of frame plates 15, only one of which is shown.
- a gear 16 is connected to the hub 14 and said gear is meshed with a gear 17, see also Figure 5, secured to "a shaft 18 upon which is rotat- -ably mounted a pulley 19 adapted to be continuously driven from a suitable source of power by a belt 20.
- a plurality of Iugs 21 extend outwardly from one side of the pulley 19 to drivingly cooperate with a corresponding number'of projections 22 provided upon a hub 23-slidably splined to the shaft 18.
- a flanged collar 24 is secured to or formed integrally with the hub 23 and "a "coiled spring .25 surrounding the shaft 18 and extending between the flanged collar 24 and a washer 26 pinned to the shaft normally holds the hub 23 in the position shown "in Figure 5 wherein the main clutch comprising the lugs 21 and teeth 22 is engaged to cause rotation of the shaft 18 and consequently rotation of the swift, which is geared to said shaft.
- An arm 27 secured to a shaft 28 slidably mounted in a bearing 29 secured in the side plate 15 has a yoke portion 30 engaged within the groove of the grooved collar .24.
- a clutch operating member 31 is provided with a hub portion 32 by means of which said member is mounted for limited rotation upon the shaft 28 between the arm 27 and the bearing member 29.
- the bearing member 29 is provided with a V-shaped notch 33 adapted to be aligned with a cooperating lug 34 of the hub 32 when the clutch operating member 31 is in clutch engaged position, as shown in Figure 5.
- the lug 34 In the non-operating position of the parts shown in Figure 5, the lug 34 is out of alignment with the notch 33 and is resting upon the outer surface 35 of the left-hand end of bearing member 29 whereby the shaft 28 and arm 27 connected thereto are carnmed toward the left, as viewed in the figure, to thereby compress the spring 25 and locate the hub 23 in clutch disengaging position.
- the operator presses rearwardiy upon a handle 36 secured to the end of clutch operating member 31, see Figure 1, to thereby swing said clutch operating member in a clockwise direction to align the lug 34 with the. notch 33 to thus permit the spring 25 to engage the main clutch.
- the upper end of the clutch operating member 31 is provided with an extension 37 carrying a pin 38 which fits into and cooperates with a curved slot 39 provided in a plate 40 secured to one end of a plunger 41.
- the plunger 41 is guided between the side plate 15 and a bracket 42 secured thereto.
- a spring 43 extending between the plunger and a pin provided in the side plate 15 urges said plunger toward the left, as shown in Figure 2.
- the end of the plunger 41 opposite the plate 40 is operatively aligned with a cycle cam 45 adapted to be rotated through one revolution in a clockwise direction, in a manner to be presently explained, whereby upon completion of the rotation of said can-1 the plunger 4 1118 released from engagement with the bracket 421st) that the spring 43 may become effective to move said plunger and consequently rock the clutch operated member 31 in a counter-clockwise direction to disengage the main clutch.
- the cam 45 has a helical formation and is rotatably mounted upon a bearing sleeve 46 fitted about a stub shaft 47 rotatably mounted in the side plate 15 and having a bearing with in an arm 48 secured to a bracket 49 which in turn is suitably secured to the side plate 15.
- a sleeve 50 is secured as by welding to the cam member 45 and to a gear member 51 forming one element of an overrunning clutch, the other element 52 of which is secured as by means of a pin 53 to the shaft 47.
- the overrunning clutch may be of any desired type and is shown in the drawing as comprising balls 54 mounted in cam slots 55 provided in the gear member 51. The overrunning clutch is so arranged that the shaft 47 may drive the clutch element 51 and the cam 45 in a clockwise direction 'as shown in Figure 3.
- a worm wheel 56 is secured to the shaft 47 and meshing with said Worm Wheel is a worm 57 secured to one end of a shaft 58 rotatable in bearings 59 and 60 suitably secured to the side plate '15.
- a small worm wheel 61 is secured to the end of the shaft 58 opposite the worm 57 and said worm wheel is meshed with a large diameter worm 62 rotatable upon a stub shaft 63 secured in one of the side plates 15.
- a gear 64 is also rotatable upon the stub shaft 63 and is 'drivingly secured to the worm 62.
- the gear 64 is in meshing engagement with a gear 65 secured to the swift hub 14.
- the end of the plunger 41 rests upon the low point 66 of the cam member 45 adjacent the step 67 of said cam which separates the low point 66 from the high point 68 of said cam.
- the gear ratios are such that the time required to rotate the cam member 45 through one complete revolution is the time required for the swift to unwind the desired amount of yarn from the cake 10, assuming that the yarn strand does not break. It has previously been mentioned that it is desired to strip a particular length of unbroken yarn from the cake and with the mechanism thus far described it is apparent that should the strand break during the stripping operation it would be necessary to wait for the swift to drive the cam member 45 through its complete cycle before again starting up the machine. Otherwise, should the operator manually stop the rotation of the swift at the time the strand broke and at that point re-engage the strand with the swift, the time then required to drive the cam through the remainder of its. cycle would not be sufficient to wind ofi the desired amount of yarn.
- gear 69 secured to a shaft 7%
- a gear 69 secured to a shaft 7%
- the shaft 70 is provided with a hand wheel 73 and as the cam member 45 is rotated through the reduction gearing from the swift, the clutch gear member 51 slowly rotates the hand wheel 73 through the gear 69 and shaft 70.
- the operator Upon breakage of the strand during the stripping operation, the operator first pulls forward on the handle 36 to rotate the clutch operating member in a counter-clockwise direction to move the lug 34 of the clutch operating member 31 out of alignment with the notch 33 to thereby disengage the main clutch. This counter-clockwise.
