Definitions

  • the tail of yarn formed when the yarn is cut or broken is wrapped around the base of the spindle where it becomes contaminated and damaged and is generally too difficult to remove for use as a transfer tail, although the winding machines must be stopped periodically to allow the spindles to be cleaned and the contaminated yarn removed.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a winding apparatus and process which can produce a transfer tail. Another object of our invention is to provide a winding process whereby the spindle wharfe remains free of yarn during the string up.
  • a winding apparatus for filamentary material being collected onto a rotating receiving bobbin via a traverse mechanism wherein the filamentary material on the receiving bobbin is provided with a trans-fer tail by means of an entrainment device positioned between the limit of the traverse mechanism and a temporary collecting means for said filamentary material, characterised in that the entrainment device is a member projecting radially to the axis of the bobbin and arranged to rotate with the bobbin in the region between the end of the traverse path and the end of the bobbin.
  • the entrainment means may comprise a device such as a notched ring or a peg which may be either attached to the bobbin surface or loosely held by a key-hole shaped slot.
  • the peg may be made of any suitable material such as wood, metal, rubber or plastic.
  • the entrainment means comprises a peg forming an integral part of a rubber band which may be placed around a bobbin, thus allowing the peg to be positioned without the bobbin having to be modified.
  • the peg and band may be fabricated as a single moulding.
  • the temporary collecting means for the filamentary material may be any suitable device which is capable of collecting the filamentary material at the required linear 3,018,973 Patented Jan. 30, 1962 speed.
  • a suction tube such as that described in our British Patent No. 643,625 is satisfactory but we prefer to use the improved suction tube described in co-pending United States application Serial No. 769,334, filed October 24, 1958, now Patent No. 2,955,- 409, whereby a known amount of thread may be with drawn from the suction tube before the thread is broken in a controlled manner.
  • Our invention may be used on many types of yarn winding machines and we have found that it is particularly suitable when drawing filaments of polyethylene terephthalates and polyamides on drawtwisting machines.
  • the yarn passes from the supply package over rotating delivery rolls to a heating zone, over rotating draw rolls and then to a ring and traveller traverse and a suction gun.
  • the bobbin carrying spindle is then set in motion and the yarn being collected by the suction gun is displaced so that it engages with the projecting entrainment means.
  • the entrainment means and bobbin rotate a fixed length of filamentary material is withdrawn from the suction gun and is wound around the lower portion of the bobbin and provides a transfer tail.
  • FIGURE 1 is an elevation view of the winding apparatus according to the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a view similar to FIGURE 1 showing the apparatus in a subsequent step of winding
  • FIGURE 3 is an elevation view of the apparatus in FIGURES 1 and 2, axially displaced, and showing the apparatus in still a subsequent step of winding;
  • FIGURE 4 is an elevation view of a modified embodiment of the apparatus shown in FIGURES 1-3.
  • a moving thread of yarn 1 from a delivery means passes through the traveller 2 of a ring traverse 3 to a suction tube 4 located tangentially to the bobbin surface a short distance below the level of a rubber peg 5.
  • the rubber peg 5 is integral with an elastic member such as a rubber band 6 or the like and said peg protrudes substantially radially from the bobbin 7 at a position below the lower traverse limit of the ring 3 and said bobbin is located on a rotatable spindle, not shown.
  • a winding apparatus for filamentary material said apparatus having a rotating receiving bobbin, a traverse mechanism to guide the material for collection upon the bobbin, and a temporary collecting means for said material; an entrainment device comprising an elastic member encircling and secured by friction and its resilience to the bobbin in the region between the lower limit of the traverse mechanism path and the bottom of the bobbin, and means on said member for entraining the material and providing that collected on the receiving bobbin with a transfer tail, the resiliency of said member permitting its repositioning upon a formed transfer tail to hold the same in place upon the bobbin.
  • An apparatus according to claim 1, and further including gripping means upon said member for facilitating repositioning of the same.
