Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved device for compensating the rate at which thread is drawn oif from a plurality of bobbins, and in particular, to an improved compensating device for drawing ofi equal lengths of thread from bobbins or feed spools which rotate independently on the same axis or on separate axes.
  • the invention is especially useful in combination with textile apparatus of the type known as a double twist twisting machine, sometimes referred to as a multiple twist or a two-for-one twisting machine.
  • this device essentially includes a friction roller for each of two bobbins, the rollers being mounted on a common yoke and urged resiliently for rolling contact against the outer circumference of the bobbins.
  • the rollers are interconnected by being solidly joined for rotation on a common axle and thus are caused to rotate at the same rate of revolution.
  • the rotational velocity of the feed spools or bobbins is also synchronized because if one bobbintends to run ahead, the other bobbin acts with a braking effect through the frictional force of the roller which links the two bobbins.

  • FIGS. ll -lO the compensating apparatus of the invention is shown in combination with a typical twisting machine, and it will be understood that various conven-' tional portions have been omitted in FIGS. 2-9 where such portions are identical to FIG. I.
  • FIGS. ll -l3 are" set forth to illustrate the adaptability of the invention to:
  • an improved compen- 's'ating device is provided by apparatus essentially including spindle means for mounting a plurality of bobbins such that said bobbins will normally rotate independently of one another, one or more friction rollers for each bobbin with the axis of each roller being approximately parallel to the axis of its associated bobbin, means to urge each of the friction rollersresiliently inwardly in approximately tangential position against the outercircumferential surface of its respective bobbin, and torque transmitting means including a belt drive extending between and operatively coupling a pair of said friction rollers where each roller of 'the'pair'is associated with a difierent bobbin.
  • the friction rollers are mounted indijvidually for normally independent rotation and are operatively coupled only by the torque transmitting means according to the invention.
  • the friction roller may rest directly on the outer circumferential surface of its associated bobbin, or, else a separate surface such as the driving-belt itself is located around the circumference of the roller to engagethe' outer surface of the bobbin in frictional rollingcontact. 2
  • the torque transmitting means of the invention is pref- 'erably a belt drive, is.
  • each roller shaft with a tooth wheel gear which in turn engages and drives a second gear with a belt drive or shaft drive connecting the second gear of a pair of rollers.
  • Other equivalent torque transmitting incans such as a' flexible cable or pure. gear drive between pairs of rollers will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, but for the purposes of the invention a belt
  • These carrier arms arepivotally mounted to swing the ifoller inwardly againstthe bobbin by means of a resilient spring or the like. In addition, these swinging carrier arms.
  • a further embodiment of the invention includes a separate drive means connected .to one of the coupled rollers for starting the rollers from a standstill and thereby overcoming initial inertia or frictional drag. In this case, the rollers can remain in contact or engagement at all times with the coupled bobbins.
  • the apparatus of the invention is particularly useful to provide a compensation in the operation of a double twist twisting machine.
  • the same apparatus can be modified for use with ring-twisting machines or similar devices.
  • two or more bobbins can be mounted on a single vertical axis or separate adjacent parallel axes, and a pair of coupled friction rollers linking each adjacent bobbin in a series.
  • a pair of coupled rollers may also act on the first and last of a series of three or more bobbins, and in fact, it is possible though seldom necessary to have one pair of friction rollers for every possible combination of two bobbins.
  • the outer cylindrical surface of the friction rollers can be smooth but may also beroughened or given a grooved or cross-hatched texture to provide a smaller or greater coefficient of friction. Such variation is often helpful Where threads of slightly dilferent texture are twisted together.
  • the power transmission capacity of the rollers is in general dependent upon this coefiicient of friction and the contact pressure under which the rollers are urged against the bobbins. By coupling each bobbin to at least one additional bobbin of a series, the torque applied by one bobbin is proportionately distributed over the remaining rollers.
  • the coefficient of friction can also be adjusted by varying the force with which the roller is urged inwardly against its bobbin as noted above.
  • the bobbins during operation are rotated by the action of drawing off a thread therefrom, e.g. with the usual draw 7 .ion during the-thread twisting operation.
  • thread is employed herein to include various fiber forms including yarns, strings, tows, a monofilament, filament bundles and the like.
  • the fibers may be natural, artificial or synthetic, and the threadxmay'be composed of continuous filaments or staple fibers.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a double twist twisting machine as a preferred embodiment in combination with the compensating apparatus of the invention.
  • This machine is shown partly in schematic form with certain conventional portions omitted.
  • the machine requires a stationary frame which is provided by spool carrier 1 and various elements connected thereto.
  • the spool carrier 1 is maintained in a stationary position in a conventional manner, e.g. by means of an eccentric weight located on one side of the carrier while inclining the'machine from the vertical position shown.
  • a stationary spool carrier can also be achieved by mounting one or more magnets around thecarrier at a sufficient dis! 'tance therefrom to permit passage of ,the ballooning tread T.
  • a hollow spindle 2 extends above the spool carrier 1 'and carries rotatably thereon two separate hollow spoolnormally urged inwardlywith a contact pressure against receiving holders-3 and 4 which fit tightly into two bobbin spools carrying the thread packages 5 and 6.
  • the bobbins or thread'wound spools are wound in such a manner that the spools must rotate on the spindle as the thread is drawn therefrom, and the thread reciprocably traverses the bobbin from one end to the other.
  • Each bobbin 5 and 6 rotates independently on the common axis of the spindle 2 as the individual threads are drawn therefrom.
  • a stable basket frame is completed by the side supports 7 and 8 connecting the spool carrier 1 to the upper ring 9. Additional supports such as 7 and 8 can be added for greater stability, but for convenience have been omitted from the drawing.
  • the threads are drawn off laterally from each bobbin 5 and 6 and conducted in common from eyelet 11 to the third eyelet 12 on upper ring 9 and around the end of the bobbins over the guide roller 13 and into a hollow bore or channel of the spindle 2.
  • the threads are then drawn through the bore of spindle 2 and outwardly through a rotating annular channel or slot and to the thread reserve disc 14, all in the conventional manner of a double twist twisting machine.
  • the compensating apparatus of the invention as shown in FIG. 1 with a double twist twisting machine includes a socket 19 mounted or fixed to the spool carrier 1, and this socket 19 receives the upright shaft or tubular rod 20 inserted rotatably therein.

  • a swinging arm or shaft 24 adapted to pivotally receive a U-shaped, V-shaped or Y-shaped yoke with two oppositely disposed carrier arms 25 and 26.
  • a pin or yoke handle 27 at the base of the yoke is seated to turn in the swinging arm 24, as more clearly illustrated in FIG. 10.
  • friction rollers 28 and 29 are independently and rotatably mounted on individual axles 30 and 31. The friction rollers and/or their axles are preferably attached in a removable or interchangeable fashion to the respective carrier arms.
  • the torsion spring 23 acts through rod 20 to resiliently urge the swinging arm and pivotal yoke handle 27 inwardly toward the bobbins 5 and 6 such that friction rollers 28 and 29 are pressed with a certain con-tact pressure inwardly against or along a circumferential surface area of the two bobbins.
  • the pivotal linkage or pivotal joint formed by yoke handle 27 inserted in the swinging arm 24 assures that the two friction rollers will engage their respective bobbins regardless of minor differences in the diameters of the bobbins.
  • the contact pressure of the two friction rollers is relatively equal and can be adjusted by turning collar 21 to compress or expand the torsion spring 23.
  • Torque transmission means between the friction rollers 28 and 29 is provided by an endless belt 32 which passes around each roller and is preferably engaged in a groove 33 cut around the circumference of the roller as more fully shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the endless belt or belt drive 32 is guided from one friction roller to the other by suitable guide means such as rollers 34 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 which are rotatably mounted on axles 35. These axles 35 are in turn attached opposite one another and a slot on the carrier arms 25 and 26, for example, byv
  • the endless belt 32 passes from one friction roller to the other without crossing itself such that these rollers rotate in opposite directions.
  • the bobbins 5 and 6 are likewise adapted to rotate in opposite directions with respect to each other and with respect to their associated friction rollers. It is more common in double twist twisting machines for both bobbins to rotate in the same direction, and in this case the endless belt 32 must cross itself as indicated in FIGS. 3 and 4 such that the friction rollers will also rotate in the same direction with respect to each other.
  • the belt 32 is entirely engaged or contained within grooves 33 of the friction rollers so that only.

  • the friction rollers, endless belt, and belt guide means otherwise remain the same as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the separately adjustable contact pressure is especially useful with a different type of thread on each 'bobbin or in those cases where the bobbins have a slightly different diameter.
  • the axle 45 is a relatively flexible rod which is permitted to bend between the two carrier arms 25 and 26 on which the ends of the axle are mounted.
  • the friction rollers are held in position on this flexible axle by means of stops 46 which may be integral with the axle.
  • the flexibility of the axle 45 permits a greater degree of freedom in the movement of the friction rollers so as to accommodate variations in the circumferential surface of the bobbins. nected between the two carrier arms, this construction is not essential since the friction rollers rotate freely-thereon and can instead be carried by individual flexible axles which are not connected. In either case, this construction permits the elimination of the pivotal yoke handle 27 as illustrated in FIG. 10.

  • the compensating apparatus in FIG. '9 corresponds to that'shown in FIG. 1 except'that the friction rollers 28 and 29 are integral with axles'30' and 31'. Both the friction rollers and their axles rotate freely in their respective carrier armsZS and 26.
  • the rotating axle 31' extends into a'gear box.47 which is pivotally mounted on shaft so as to swivel together with the swinging arm 24.
  • This gear box'47 is designed as a separate drive for friction roller 29.
  • the drive can be powered by a spring-wound mechanismcontained within the gear box itself, or power can be supplied from an outside source.
  • the power driven gears of gear box 47 should be adapted to be engaged or disengaged from the axle 3 1. This additional drive is especially useful in starting the machine from a standstill, i.e. at the beginning of the thread draw-off, because it is thereby possible to impart a starting torque to the stationary bobbins which will supplement the torque provided by pulling the thread.
  • this supplementary gear drive can be disengaged.
  • the disengagement is preferably made automatic by means of gears remaining in engagement for only a predetermined period of time or by means of suitable mechanism adapted to disengage the gears after the bobbins reach a speed which will overcome their initial inertia.
