Definitions

  • take-up roll and intermediate feed rolls preceding the take-up roll.
  • a twister or plying spindle may be employed with a synchronous drive between the twisting or plying and the take up means and other intermediate strand handling elements without the necessity for, and the inherent disadvantages of, employing conventional belt or gear drives between the twister or plying spindle and the take up means, feed rolls, or other strand handling elements, with the consequent important elimination of any possibility of slip as might normally occur between the whorl and the take up or intermediate feed roll elements as when a conventional belt drive is employed.
  • FIGURE 1 is a schematic view in perspective illustrating a plying and take-up arrangement according to the invention.
  • FlGURE 2 is a section view illustrating in more detail a portion of the balloon energy coupling arrangement illustrated in FIGURE 1, and
  • FIGURE 3 is a schematic illustration of a two-for-one twister constructed according to the invention.

  • the strand of yarn X is passed up through the center of the hollow spindle i5 and then transversely outwardly through a transverse opening 19 in the spindle, the driven spindle 15 serving to revolve the strand of yarn X in a balloon about a substantially stationary housing 21 having a second substantially stationary supply package 23 therewithin.
  • the driven spindle '15 has incorporated thereon a yarn storage device 25, which may be of conventional construction, and which serves to control the shape and tension of the strand balloon in a manner well known in the art, as shown for instance in US. Patent No. 2,732,681.
  • the ballooned or orbited strand X is subsequently combined at any suitable location adjacent the apex of the balloon, as for instance as shown in FIGURE 2, with a se ond strand Y, the second strand Y being suitably pretensioned as by a tension control device 26 of desired type and construction from the second supply package. While in this particular arrangement the ply point of the two strands X and Y is illustrated as occurring near the input end of a flyer 31 at the apex end of the balloon, this is mere.y by way of illustration, and it will be seen aseparategear may be secured on the shaft.
  • the strands X and Y are ciorn'bined in the illustrated embodiment adjacent the apex end of the balloon either within, subsequent to, or prior to passage within an axial bore 27 formed in a freely rotatable shaft '29'formi n'g part of a freely rotatable fiyer generally indicated at 31.
