Definitions

  • Em sr air/KER BY M/Mm The present invention relates generally to a novel device for transferring articles and the like into a suitable collecting magazine, and more specifically, to an apparatus for depositing and packaging bobbins and the like received from a bobbin winder in a collecting magazine in a controlled manner to thereby simultaneously ensure effective utilization of the available packaging area Without damaging the bobbins. It is, of course, to be understood that while the invention is described with reference to the depositing and transfer of bobbins, the device of the present invention is readily adaptable for use with other articles.
  • an apparatus constituted by a pair of spaced rotatable pulleys around each of which is wound a flexible band member, which in their extended position serve to guide and define a passageway for movement of bobbins therebetween.
  • pivotal plate elements At the lower extremity of the respective band members there are provided pivotal plate elements arranged to form a substantially wedge-shaped bobbin receiving means.
  • a suitable drive mechanism associated with the rotatable pulleys causes raising and lowering of the bobbin receiving means into and out of a collecting magazine in accordance with the workings of a bobbin winder.
  • the bobbin receiving mechanism due to the flexible band members is laterally shiftable so that the wedge-shaped plates upon contact with bobbins previously deposited within the collecting magazine will be oriented therein at a location suited for receiving further bobbins.
  • a bobbin is released from a suitable supply chamber'and deposited in the receiving means.
  • the laterally shiftable tes stem band members serve to guide and break the fall of the freely accelerating bobbins.
  • the pulleys are rotated so as to again wind the band members therearound and, as a result of the raising of the receiving means any bobbin previously deposited therein will drop exteriorly therefrom under the influence of its own weight by pivoting the plate elements defining the wedge-shaped surfaces into their open position.
  • the tapered or Wedge-shaped surfaces of the receiving means upon contact with the surfaces of the bobbins previously deposited in the collecting magazine will cause lateral deflection of said receiving means into a location ready for receiving further bobbins from the supply chamber.
  • Another important object of the present invention is to provide a device capable of safely and reliably handling articles and the like while simultaneously making the most eflicient use of the available packaging space for such articles.
  • FIGURE 1 illustrates a front view of the bobbin receiving means, its supply chamber and an associated collecting magazine pursuant to the present invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the device shown in FIGURE 1, and further schematically illustrates a bobbin winder and associated control mechanism;
  • FIGURE 3 is a front view of a device similar to that shown in FIGURE 1 but illustrating a modification of the receiving means.
  • a suitable housing or frame structure 19 supporting a shaft ta which carries a stationary bobbin collecting plate 1 adapted to receive bobbins previously wound by a winder W of an associated textile machine.
  • the collecting plate 1 is slightly sloped in a downward direction for the purpose of facilitating the advance of bobbins therefrom.
  • a bobbin retaining gate 2 encompasses the collecting plate 1 in order to en-' sure that any bobbins 4 received by the collecting plate 1 will not be related therefrom prematurely.
  • the retaining gate 2 is pivotally mounted on the shaft 1a and is provided with one end portion 2a which is cooperable with an actuating rod 3 capable of moving in a downward direction in accordance with the operation of control mechanism C associated with the bobbin winder W in order to rotate the retaining gate 2 in a counterclockwise direction, as indicated by the arrow B, thereby permitting removal of bobbins from said collecting plate 1. Consequently, when the bobbins 4 in the winder are changed they will individually and in a controlled manner fall onto the collecting plate 1.
  • the retaining gate 2 will be pivoted in such a manner as to permit the bobbin 4 to fall freely into a bobbin filling or receiving means A disposed below the collecting plate l and retaining. gate 2 which define a supply chamberlb for the bobbins 4.
  • the frame 19 further supports a pair of parallelly spac shafts 17 nd 18,- ac of whichr ta ab y supp pulley members 7 and 8, respectively. Wound around each respective pulley member 7 and 8 are a pair of flexibleband members 5 aud o, the lower or free ends thereof being interconnected by a suitable cross-member or frame 9 so that the inner diameter of the passageway defined by the band members 5 and 6 is substantially the same a or sm lle han, e.
  • the bobbins v4 will orient themselves within the bobbin receiving means A insuch a manner that they always be deposited within a collecting magazine 50 such that the longitudinal axis-of said bobbinsd will be substantially parallel.
  • the cross-member or frame there are provided diametrically opposed and'axially aligned eyelets 10 whichpivotally support a pair of plate members 12 provided with end wall portions 12a by means of a. shaft 11.
  • the plate members 12 are angularly arranged with respect to a horizontal plane and contact on another during their closed position at their lower extremities.
  • the converging efiect attributed to the plate members 12 define a substantially triangular or wedgeshaped receptacle adapted to receive and retain therein bobbins 4 when transferred thereto from said bobbin supply chamber 1b.
  • each individual plate 12 are interconnected bymeans of a suitable bar 13 which is designed to serve as a counterweight to facilitate rotation of the plates 12 into their closed position. It should be of course apparent that other suitable means may be employed for closing of the plates 12, as for example by means of springs.
  • the flexible band members 5 and 6 together with the frame 9 and plates 12 define a bobbin filling or receiving means A readily suitable for transferring and depositing bobbins and other articles from a supply chamber 1b to a point remote therefrom, as for example, into a collecting magazine 30.
  • a counterweight 14 which is supported on a pulley rope is attached to a pulley 16 carried by the shaft 1? and cooperable with the pulley 8.
  • a pair of meshing gears 20 of identical size to provide uniform raising and lowering of the bobbin receiving means A are respectively keyed to the shafts l7 and 18 supported by the frame 19.
  • the shaft 17 addit-ionally supports a friction clutch mechanism 21a, one faceplate 21 thereof being rigidly secured to the shaft 17 whereas the other face plate 22 is mounted so as to be axially displaceable and freely rotatable on said shaft 17.
  • the clutch face 22 may be continuously driven through the intermediary of a suitable belt drive 23 or by any 4 other conventional drive means, as for example by means of a gear train.
  • the friction clutch 21a which drives the shaft 17 is disengaged through the intermediary of a rod 31 in. registry with said friction clutch 21a and actuated by said control mechanism C as denoted by the dotted lines Tilt of FIG. 2, in a known manner, whereby the bobbin receiving means A will fall freely under the influence of their own weight into the collecting magazine 30.
  • the bobbin receiving means is now in a position to properly and safely receive bobbins 4 from the supply chamber 1!).
  • the rate of acceleration of said bobbin receivingmeans A being controlled by means of the counterwe ight 14 or alternatively by means of a suitable spring.
  • the control mechanism C of the bobbin winder W then causes actuation of the actuating rod 3 which will rotate the retaining gate 2 to free a bobbin 4 which will be gravity fed down into the previously positioned bobbin receiving means A in a Safe-and reliable manner.
  • the bobbin receiving means A will tend to extend substantially vertically into the collecting magazine 30 so that the bobbins will tend to collect in the vicinity directly below the confines of the pulleys 7 and 8.
  • a stack formation will tend to form.
  • the triangular or wedgedshaped-contour of the plates 12 of the receiving means A the latter will be deflected laterally, as shown in phantom in FIGURE 1, into the lower region of the stacked or pyramided bobbins so as to fill up the empty portions of the collecting magazine without subjecting the bobbins-to undue impact.
  • the bobbin receiving means A will always be advantageously positioned within the collecting magazine 30 prior to receiving the bobbins 4 from thesupply chamber 1b.
  • the transfer of bobbins into a bobbin receiving means A previously positioned ensures that the bobbins will not tend to accumulate irregularly in the collecting magazine 30 and, additionally, prevents said bobbins from assuming undesirable locations within the magazine and damaging one another through impact. In this manner a most efiicient utilization of all available packaging space provided by the collecting magazine 30 can be'achieved while simultaneously providing a safe and reliable transfer of the articles to be packaged.
  • FIGURE 3 illustrates a further modification of the plate structure 12 of the bobbin receiving means A.
  • a frame 19 which supports a bobbin collecting plate 1 supported on a shaft 1a carried by said frame 19.
  • the structure and arrangement of the retaining gate 2, pulleys 7 and 8 and band members 5 and 6 is substantially similar to that previously described with reference to FIGURES 1 and 2, like referencenumerals denoting the similar structure.
  • the plates 12, however, are provided on their outer face 12d with a bank or group of freely rotatable casters or rollers 12b which are supported by the flexed edges 12c appearingon the underside of the plates 12.
  • rollers 12b serve to facilitate lateral displacement of the bobbin receiving means A within the collecting magazine30 during contact with one or more bobbins 4 disposed within said magazine. It is further possible in order to avoid accumulation of bobbins in one specific area when packaging the same in relatively long collecting magazines to displace said magazines into different lateral positions by mounting the same on suitable conveying means 32. In this manner the collecting magazine 30 may be laterally shifted in the direction of its length into a new position to permit access of said bobbin receiving means thereto.
