Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for longitudinally feeding flexible strands having indefinite lengths by means of plural endless webs, belts, bands, or the like and for laying said strands in regular plaits or relatively flat folds in a container therefor.
  • the invention relates to an apparatus for longitudinally feeding strands of relatively narrow flexible materials of indefinite lengths by means of two endless webs, belts, bands, or the like adapted for contra-directional rotation in a contiguous relation and for laying said strands in uniform superimposed and juxtaposed plaits or flat folds in a container therefor.
  • stran is intended to include thread, yarn, sliver, filament, tow, fibers or filamentary bundle and the like that are relatively narrow and flexible, and especially to include a large number of continuous filaments collected in loose rope-like form with or without definite twist therein.
  • strands obtained by various processes are commonly placed or laid into containers such as boxes, cartons, etc., used for holding and for temporary storage of the strands and from which the strands are subsequently removed.
  • containers such as boxes, cartons, etc.
  • the strands are laid in smooth regular plaits or flat folds superimposed on each other until the container is filled as completely as desired.
  • Various devices for plaiting or folding of strands heretofore have been proposed for accomplishing this.
  • the known plaiting devices having plural endless conveyors rotatable in contra-directional and contiguous relation have rigid and substantially unyielding gripping or nipping points.
  • the nip formed by these known plaiting devices exert in many cases a pressure on the traveling strands such that the strands are undesirably flattened and some times deformed. While such plaiting devices may be suitable for transferring strands of uniform compactness, they are not suitable for feeding strands having thick and thin portions. Sometimes in the transferring of strands, itmay be necessary totie two ends together in the form of a knot; or in other cases bumps or knobs are present in the flexible strands for other reasons.
  • an electrically powered apparatus adapted to feed longitudinally and to plait a flexible strand in a container therefor comprising plural belts or the like rotatable in opposite directions and in contiguous relation.
  • the belts are entrained on rotary members adapted to 'be urged resiliently together so that the apparatus is constructed to receive and to feed conveniently flexible strands having bulging or protruding por-.
  • Means are provided for imparting oscillatory motion to the delivery end of the apparatus.
  • the rotary members carrying said belts are movable axially back and forth in unison between predetermined points simultaneously with the oscillation of the apparatus, whereby the strands fed by the apparatus are laid in juxtaposed and superimposed plaits or folds in a container therefor.
  • the delivery speed, the oscillatory motion, and the axial movement of the rotary members are in timed relation and are correlated so that proper package formation results in the container.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view, partly in section, illustrating the apparatus of the present invention including the rotary members carrying the conveying belts paratus of the present invention, including its operational mechanism for axially reciprocating the rotary members within predetermined limits.
  • the feeding and plaiting apparatus shown comprises two endless belts, bands, webs or the like 10 and 11 that are mounted in contiguous relation, to form a gripping zone along some length during their travel, the
  • belts are preferably run at approximately the same linear speed.
  • Belt is carried on rotary members or rollers 12 and 13.
  • belt- 11 is carried on rotary members or rollers 14 and 15.
  • Rollers 12 and 14 are rotatably mounted on shafts 16 and 17 respectively and form the feeding rolls for receiving and causing the belts 10 and 11 to grip the strand 18 being transferred and plaited in a uniform manner in a container.
  • Shaft 16 is mounted to be slidable laterally so that the pressure at which the belts engage each other at the point of closest contact of the rollers 12 and 14 is adjusable.
  • shaft *16 is resiliently mounted in casing 20 which has outer grooves adapted to follow tracks 21 of support bracket 22 for vertical travel therea-long.
  • Fixed to the outer side of bracket 22 is a collar 23 which limits the axial movement of compression spring or coil 24 surrounding a portion of cylindrical rod 25.
  • This rod is mounted to bracket 22 in threaded relation therewith.
  • Shaft 17 is mounted in a journal box-support 26 and is positively driven by a suitable source, with rotary motion thereof being imparted to roller 14.
  • this arrangement of coil 24 tends to urge roller 12 and its associated parts away from engagement with roller 14, the nipping force of the belt surfaces between rollers 12 and 14 being automatically adjustable due to this resilient mounting of roller 12.
  • the feeding rolls 12 and 14 are adapted satisfactorily to receive and feed strand 18 which may contain knots and the like.
  • An elongated housing 27 surrounds most of the path taken bythe belts.
  • This housing, box-support 26 and bracket 22 are arranged to form a rigid construction.
  • a mounting plate 28 is fixedly secured thereto and provides means for rotatably mounting shaft 29 of roller 13.
  • roller 1'3 is stationary in relation to the housing 27 whereas roller 12 which defines with roller 13 the path taken by belt 10 is movable.
  • a bolt or the like 30 is in threaded relation with block 31 secured to the side of plate 28.
  • a compression spring or coil 32 surrounds part of bolt 30.
  • a lever 33 is mounted to be pivotal about point 34.
  • Shaft 35 carrying roller 15 is journaled in one end of this lever; at the other end of the lever a vertical hole is provided to permit free passage of bolt 30 therethrough but not the spring 32.
  • roller 15 After the knot has passed these rollers, roller 15 will re-' turn to its normal gripping position due to the upward force of spring 32 on lever 33.
  • Idler roll 36 is horizontally adjustable to control the tautness of belt 11 as it travels between and around rollers '14 and 15. This adjustment is made possible by themounting of roll 36 on shaft 37 that extends through the slot in housing 27 so that the shaft is carried by rod 38 adapted to adjust the horizontal travel of shaft 37 along said slot.
  • bracket 22 Secured to the top of bracket 22 is a plate 40 which extends outwardly therefrom to provide suitable connection at its extended end with a rocker arm 41. At its lower end arm 41 is attached to a bearing 42 that is secured to a chain 43. This chain is driven by its associated sprocket 44 powered by an electric motor or other suitable driving means 45. Idler roll 46 rotatably mounted on support 46a is adapted to receive chain 43 and to define with it the path followed by the chain 43 and the bearing 42. Preferably, sprocket 44 and roll 46 are rotatably mounted in vertical spaced relation, as shown, with the chain traveling along an oval path. In such arrangement quick reversal is obtained at each end of the oscillatory motion of the apparatus, thereby resulting in an improvement of the strand lay pattern.
  • the feeding assembly which comprises the rollers 12.-i5, belts 10 and 11, and their associated parts is pivotal about shaft 17.
  • the assembly will be rocked back and forth and the delivery end of the assembly will oscillate as indicated by the arrows so that the strand 18 will be laid in the container 47 in the form of uniform folds or plaits as shown.
  • Motor 45 if desired; can be used also to rotate shaft 17. It will be appreciated, however, that separate means may be used to drive shaft 17.
  • a driving belt 48 interconnectssaid shaft and motor 45 so that upon rotation of the motor shaft 17 is rotated.
  • Motor 45 is mounted on a cross brace 49 of open box framing 50 that surrounds part of the feeding assembly.
  • This framing supports shaft 17 and is mounted on wheels 51, whereby the frame is movable in the direction axial of the rollers 1215.
  • the wheels 51 engage track or plate 52 secured to support member 53 which in turn is supported in a suitable manner.
  • a worm 54 rotated by a suitable source not shown in FIGURE 1 meshes with worm gear 55 keyed to drive shaft 56, this shaft being rotatably mounted in journal box-supports 57 secured to the bottom of box framing 50.
  • On the bottom of track 52 is a rack 58 meshable with pinions 60 keyed to shaft 56.
  • box framing 50 derives rectilinear motion by the circular motion of gear 54 through the gearing as just described.
  • FIGURE 2 wherein the reciprocation of box framing 50 carrying the oscillatably mounted feeding assembly will be described.
  • a trip dog 61 Mounted to a side of box-framing 50 is a trip dog 61.
  • the dog alternatively strikes levers 62 of switch boxes 63 attached to said supporting member 53, the direction of rotation of the electrical reversible motor 64 is caused to reverse.
  • this motor is operably connected with boxes 63 for reversal of rotation when levers 62 are tripped.
  • pulley 65 Keyed to the shaft of motor 64 is pulley 65 on which is entrained belt 66 which drives pulley 67. This pulley is keyed to the worm shaft 54.
  • Rotary movement of shaft 54 causes box-framing 50 to move linearly in one direction as described more fully above.
  • the framing 50 Upon reversal of motor 64 the framing 50 will move in the opposite direction.
  • arrangement is made so that the framing '50 and the parts supported therefrom are reciprocated between predetermined points.
  • the strand '18 is laid in juxtaposed and superimposed relation by the combination of the reciprocation of the framing and the oscillation of the feeding assembly.
  • shaft 17 of driven roller 14 is mounted on supports 68' and is suitably driven by means such as a pulley 69 interconnected with motor 45 by belt 48.
  • the rotary motion of roller 14 causes belt 11 to move about it. Since belt 10 is in contact with belt 11 it too is driven when roller 14 is rotated by a suitable source.
  • Shaft 17 rotatably supporting roller 14 also is the pivot point of the feeding belt assembly with means being provided to oscillate the feed assembly about this point. Furthermore, means are provided for axially moving this assembly back and forth between predetermined points.
  • Belts used in the apparatus of this invention can be of any suitable construction.
  • rollers carrying the belts may be of any suitable diameter; however, for most purposes feeding rollers having a diameter of inches are satisfactory.
  • the delivery rollers disposed-below may have a diameter of 2 inches and preferably are smaller in diameter than the feeding rollers. Only one of the feeding rollers is driven as shown, but it will be understood that other rollers may be driven. whose axis the axes of the other rollers oscillate is preferably the only one positively driven.
  • a tow of continuous filaments having a denier of 200,000-500,000 can be fed into and plaited efliciently in a tow package designed to contain about 300 pounds of material witha belt speed of 200-900 feet per minute in a relatively short period of time.
  • the present invention has numerous advantages one of which may be mentioned is that with the apparatus of the present invention it is possible to feed strands into a container in-a convenient manner event through the strands have irregular surface dimensions.
  • the package formation of the strands is more uniform. There is less difference between the strand levels at the sides of the container and the center thereof when the present apparatus is used as compared with existing equipment. Furthermore, less disarrangement to the fed strand is experienced as compared to the known devices having unyieldable nips.
  • the rate of oscillation and the rate of reciprocation, as well as the delivery rate of the strands can be correlated easily in a controlled timed relation with each other. Other advantages of the present invention will be apparent.
