Definitions

  • This invention relates to traverse control mechanisms such as are used in spinning and twister frames, and particular to such motions as are employed in draw-twisting operations for producing a package of yarn on a bobbin.
  • the present invention provides a traverse control wherein the effective length of the stroke of a traverse is diminished with regular periodicity during the twisting period so as to produce a tapered package.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a builder motion which imparts a diminishing traverse to a ring rail in twisting and spinning machines.
  • Other objects are to provide a builder motion which is simple in structure and requiring little or no adjustments during operation.
  • FIGURE 1 is a schematic perspective view of one embodiment of the builder motion of this invention shown in combination with the ring rail lifting mechanism, the movement of which it controls;
  • FIGURE 2 is a fragmentary sectional view drawn to a reduced scale showing details of the rocker arm of the embodiment of FZGURE l;
  • FIGURE 3 is a schematic perspective view showing a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIGURE 4 is a schematic perspective view of another embodiment of the invention, with the ring rail lifting mechanism omitted for convenience of illustration;
  • FIGURE 5 is an enlarged sectional View showing the configuration of a yarn package wound on one embodiment of the present invention.
  • reference numeral indicates an arm or lever which is pivotal-ly mounted on a pivot pin 12 which is aflixed to the frame of the machine indicated by reference numeral 14.
  • Reference numeral 16 denotes a plate cam which is attached to a rotatably mounted shaft 17 which is driven by a driving means (not shown) of a well-known type.
  • a cam follower or roller 18 Beneath the plate cam is a cam follower or roller 18.
  • a reversible screw 20 Within the lever 10 is a reversible screw 20 which extends the length of the lever.
  • Reference numeral 22 denotes a traverse nut threaded onto the screw 20 and having a pressure arm or through traveler 24 extending therefrom.
  • a ratchet wheel 26 shown mounted at the end of the lever 10. Associatedwith the ratchet wheel is a pick pawl 28 pivoted on a pin 29. Extending up from the pawl 28 is a pick rod 32 passing through a stop collar 34, a guide hole 36 in the machine frame and a second stop collar 38. The collars 34 and 38 are rigidly attached to the pick rod which is slidable in the guide hole 36.
  • the elements just recited together make up the primary builder motion means which imparts a diminishing reciprocating motion to an intermediate transmitting means and thence to the ring rail lifting elements or mechanism.
  • the intermediate motion transmitting means of the embodiment shown in FIGURE 1 comprises in essence a bell crank mechanism.
  • Reference numeral 42 denotes a bar which is supported by arms 44 and 46 in spaced parallel relationship with a shaft 48 to which the arms 44 and 46 are attached.
  • the shaft 48 is shown movably mounted, as by a ball-bearing mounting 49, on hanger brackets 50 which are rigidly supported on side rails 52 of the draw-twister machine, only one of the brackets 50 beingshown.
  • arc arm 54 Shown mounted on the shaft 48 between the arms 44 and 46 is an arc arm indicated by reference numeral 54.
  • the are arm 54 is attached to an arc arm support 56 by means of a pin 58.
  • Reference numeral 59 denotes an adjustment screw for slightly varying the position of arc arm 54 in relation to the plane of the shaft 48.
  • a cable 60 runs from the arc arm 54 to the ring rail lifting mechanism which is substantially of conventional design and comprises a quadrant arm 62 mounted on a cross shaft 64.
  • the cross shaft 64 having a pillow block 66 mounted thereon, and running through a support 68 rigidly aihxed to the machine, is secured to a lifting' arm 70.
  • Reference numeral 72 denotes a lifter rod mounted on a lifter foot 74 above a lifter roller 76 at tached to the arm 78. Attached to the upper part of the lifter rod 72 is a ring rail 78 having a ring 80 surrounding a yarn package 82.
  • Vertical arm 84 of the arm 76 is attached to a connecting rod 86 which is shown broken away.
  • This connecting rod 86 serves the function of connecting a plurality of cross shafts so as to reciprocate a plurality of ring rails by means of a single builder motion.
  • Afiixed to the pillow block 66 is spiraltension spring 88 which is affixed to a portion 9% of the machine and which serves the purpose of countering the builder motion imparted by the plate cam 16. ,7
  • the rotating plate cam 16 imparts a constant oscillating motion to the lever 14 by means of contact with the cam follower 18. This oscillating motion of the lever 19 in a fixed are about its axis is indicated by the double headed arrow at the lower left corner of lever 10.
  • the angular oscillating motion of the lever 10 is converted to a horizontal uniform motion by the bell crank mechanism described above.
  • the pressure arm 24 moves the bar 42.
  • This motion pivots the shaft 48 through an angle indicated by the reference letter A.
  • the angle for the sake of subsequent description will be termed the transmittance angle.
  • the angular motion of the shaft 48 exerts a horizontal pull on the quadrant arm 62 through the arc arm 54 and cable 6i).
  • the horizontal motion is converted to a vertical reciprocating motion by means of the shaft 64 which is attached to the lifter arm 70.
  • the ring rail 78 is raised by the force of the spring 88 and lowered by the builder motion initiated by the plate cam 16.
  • the roles of the spring and builder motion could, of course, be reversed. It will be seen that the action of the spring is also transmitted through the intermediate motion transmitting means to counteract the pushing motion of the plate cam 16 to the lever arm 10. That is to say, the spring pulls the lever arm up after each downward thrust by the cam 16.
  • a package 82 with a straight barrel portion concentric with the bobbin and two sharp tapered angles, such as is shown mounted within the ring 80 in FIGURE 5, may be formed.
  • An additional feature and advantage of the embodiment disclosed in FIGURE 1 is that the barrel portion of the package may be altered, for example, to produce a conical shaped barrel merely by adjusting the arc arm 54 on the arc arm support 56.
  • the arc arm is sh'own positioned perpendicular to the horizontal plane made up by the bar 42 and the shaft 48 during the middle of the stroke.
  • the arc arm 54 may be inclined on a different angle to the horizontal whereby the distance between the axis of the shaft 48 and the end of arc arm 54 is changed so that the ring rail motion will be altered.
  • the traverse of the ring rail may be moved up or down by changing the position of the arc arm 54 with respect to the arc arm support 56. 7
  • a second em- 7 bodiment of the builder motion of this invention is dis- A and having threaded thereon a traverse nut 110, carries a pressure arm 112 and a roller 114.
  • the movement of the pressure arm along the reversible screw 108 is again regulated by the motion ofan attached ratchet wheel 116,
  • Reference numeral 121 denotes a conventional pawl-stop which is fixedly mounted on the machine to engage the lever 120.
  • the intermediate motion transmitting means herein comprises an auxiliary builder lever 122 which is pivoted on a pivot pin 124 attached to the 7 machine frame.
  • auxiliary builder lever 122 Supported on the auxiliary builder lever 122 is a flat member 126 which contacts the roller 114 mounted on the pressure arm.
  • switch 128 At the far right of the flat member 126 there is provided a switch 128 which is associated with electrical means (not shown) to stop the mechanism when the pressure arm 112 strikes'and opens the switch.
  • Reference numeral 130 denotes a cable or chain which is attached to the end of the lever 122 and runs over a pulley 132 to a quadrant arm 62 secured to a cross shaft 64.
  • the remaining parts of the lifting elements are the same as described with regarded to FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 4 a third embodiment is disclosed which is similar to that embodiment shown in FIGURE 3.
  • the lever mounted on the pivot pin 102 is oscillated by the action of the primary cam 104 on the cam follower 106.
  • the pressure arm 112 transmits the oscillating motion of the primary builder lever to an auxiliary builder lever 200.
  • the auxiliary builder lever 200 is pivoted about a pivot pin 202 which is situated in front of the pivot pin 102 of the primary lever.
  • a flat member 204 supported upon the auxiliarylever 200 contacts the roller 114 on the pressure arm 112.
  • a switch 206 mounted near the end of flat member 204 disables the machine when it is engaged and opened by the arm 112.
  • Cable 208 runs from the end of the auxiliary builder lever around a pulley 210 and then to the quadrant arm of the lifting mechanism (not shown) 7 of the type previously described.
  • the displacement imparted to the auxiliary builder lever 200 is somewhat less than in the case of the embodiment shown in FIGURE 3, wherein the pivot point of the primary and auxiliary levers were opposed.
  • the pressure arm 112 is moved away from the axis of the primary builder lever it is also moved away from the axis of the auxiliary builder lever 200 and, because of the difference in placement of the pivot pins of the two levers, causes a diminishing displace ment to the auxiliary builder lever.
