Definitions

  • Patent No. 2,866,232 dated Dec. 30,1958. Divided and this application. July 19, 1957, Scr. No.
  • This invention relates generally to textile machinery
  • this coiler mechanism consists of a large gear which is rotated about a vertical axis and which carries for rotation therewith. an inclined tube having, its outlet end disposed above an orifice or passage through the gear, and its inlet end disposed beneath a pair of-delivery rolls to feed the sliver to the tube. As the tube gear rotates, the sliver is conducted through the tube to the orifice formed in the gear whenceit is deposited in overlapping coils.
  • the tube has been cast as anintegral part of the coiler head, the latter being rigidly supported above the gear by means of a coiler plat-e.
  • this arrangement hasproven satisfactory in most respects, it does not permit ready access to the interior of the tube, particularly its delivery end, when the sliver becomes clogged therein as sometimeshappens.
  • a circularopening whereby the under surface ofthe gear is exposed; and a circular groove or race "adjacent the edge of the opening to receive a down-turned rim on the gear.
  • -It is another object of the'invention to provide a stop motion so that the operation of the coiler mechanism may be caused to cease automatically when the tube becomes clopped with the sliver.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of the coiler mechanism in ascordance with the present invention
  • Fig. 2 is asectionalview taken on line 2--'2 of Fig. l;
  • Fig. 3 is a view on an enlarged scale of a portion'of the mechanism shown in Fig. 2.
  • the coiler mechanism of the present invention includes a tube gear 12- which is caused to rotate about a vertical axis by means of a pinion 13 mounted on the output shaft of a suitable speed reducing gear box 10.
  • Aflixed to the gear 12 is a housing 16 adapted to pivotally support an inclined tube 14.
  • a collar member 15 which is provided with a yoke in the form of a pair of depending portions 15' astride the housing 16.
  • a shaft 17, horizontally mounted by" the housing and extending through the sides thereof for rigid attachment to the portions 15' serves to pivotally mount the collar 15 and hence the tube 14, as shown.
  • a pair of delivery rolls 18 and 19 are disposed above the receiving end of the tube to draw the sliver through a trumpet 20, and disposed below the lower or outlet end of'the tube there is an orificeZl in the tube gear 12 from which the sliver .is deposited.
  • gear 12 has an up-turned rim 12' which carries the gear teeth 27, and above the teeth there is a circumferential race or groove 28 having a smooth concave surface.
  • Angularly spaced about the periphery of the gear are four circular rollers 29 having convex peripheral surfaces in rolling contact with the surface defining the groove.
  • Rollers 29 are individually mounted for rotation independently of one another on vertically disposed stub shafts 3-1 aflixed to a coiler plate '30. In this way, the gear is supported with its under surface substantially in the plane of the lower surface of the plate.
  • a portion of a roving can 32 'to collect the sliver issuing from the orifice 21 is shown beneath the gear 12, the under surface of the latter being exposed by the provision of a circular opening in the plate of diameter slightly-larger than that of the gear itself, as is conventional.
  • Roving can 32 is rotated at a somewhat lesser speed than gear 12, although the means whereby this is done have not been shown since they form no part of the present invention.
  • roller 34 is engaged by a plunger '35 which is slidably mounted in the housing 16 and urged towards the roller by a compression spring 36.
  • the end of plunger 35 in contact with roller 34 is formed with blade-like edges, and the upper edge, as shown in Fig. 2, rides under the roller. In this way, an over-center device having a toggle-like action is provided which maintains the tube 14 in its normal position under normal operating conditions.
  • the rocker arm is pivoted away from the gear by the plunger 39, depressing the roller-type actuating arm of ,switch 37, sufficiently to actuate the switch.
  • a coiler mechanism including a tube gear with an orifice therein to deposit sliver in a coil, the combination with said gear of a plurality of rollers to support the gear for rotation in a substantially horizontal plane, and
  • said rollers for rotation independently “of one another about fixed individual axes angularly .spaced about the periphery of said gear, said gear having a vertical circumferential edge and being provided on its vertical circumferential edge with a circumferential race and said rollers being disposed with their peripheral extremities within said race engaging said gear at said race for rolling contact with the surface thereof.
  • a coiler mechanism including a horizontal tube gear with an orifice therein to deposit sliver in a coil, and -a plate disposed substantially in the plane of said gear with an opening therein to expose substantially the whole of the under surface of said gear including said orifice, the combination with said gear and said plate of a number of upstanding stub shafts rigidly attached to said plate, said shafts being disposed in a circle concentric about said opening, and a like number of circular rollers rotatably mounted on said stub shafts, respectively, said gear being provided with a circumferential groove defining a smooth concave roller engaging surface, and said rollers having convex peripheral surfaces for rolling contact with the surface defining said groove.
  • a coiler mechanism including a pair of relatively rotatable members comprising a horizontal tube gear with an orifice therein to deposit sliver in a coil, and a plate disposed substantially in the plane of said gear with an opening therein to expose substantially the whole of the under surface of said gear including said orifice
  • said other member being provided with a smooth circumferential roller engaging surface extending beyond the edges of said rollers defining a roller engaging surface, and said rollers having peripheral surfaces in rolling contact with said overlapping surfaces supporting from beneath said one member for rotation relatively to said other member.
  • a coiler mechanism including a pair of relatively rotatable members comprising a horizontal tube gear with an orifice therein to deposit sliver in a coil, and a plate disposed substantially in the plane of said gear with an opening therein to expose substantially the whole of the under surface of said gear including said orifice
  • said other member having a vertical circumferential edge and being provided in its vertical circumferential edge with a circumferential groove defining a smooth concave roller engaging surface
  • said rollers having mating convex peripheral surfaces in rolling contact with said surface providing the sole means both supporting said one member for rotation relatively to said other member and restraining relative axial displacement of said members.
