Louls M. LANDOLFI United States Patent O 3,146,573 YARN ENTWINNG METHD AND APPARATUS William D. Jones and Louis M. Landolfi, Asheville, N.C., assignors to American Enka Corporation, Erika, N.C., a corporation of Delaware Filed June 29, 1962, Ser. No. 206,251 7 Claims. (Cl. 57-62) This invention relates generally to yarn entwining and more particularly to a method and apparatus for semicontinuously entwining a plurality of yarn strands into a single entwined strand.
In the conventional yarn entwining method, two or more yarn supply packages are arranged in axial relationship with each other. The yarn end drawn off the lowermost package or cone passes through the core of the upper package and is entwined with the yarn end from the upper package. The thus-entwined yarn is then passed to a suitable take-up and collection means.
A principal disadvantage in the aforementioned known method is that the yarn supply packages never run out simultaneously due to inherent differences in quantities of yarn wound on each package. This results in considerable waste since the entwining operation must be stopped as soon as the first of the packages is exhaused. Under such circumstances a relatively large quantity of yarn is usually left on the other cone or cones supplying yarn to the entwining operation which becomes waste since the cones must be doifed and replaced with fresh supply packages before continuing. Moreover, in carrying out the entwining operation, the operators must be careful to stop the entwining apparatus as soon as the rst supply package nears exhaustion and immediate doing is then required since only one set of supply packages at a time may be consumed. Hence, the overall operation is relatively ineticient with one operator only being able to handle a few machines.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a method for entwining yarn not having the disadvantage inherent in the known method.
Another object of this invention is to provide a process for entwining yarn in which waste is reduced to a minimum.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a process for entwining yarn with reduced labor requirements and increased eciency.
A further object of this invention is to provide an apparatus for entwining yarn in which waste is reduced to a minimum and requires less labor to operate.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a package holder which enables the entwining of yarn from at least two groups of paired yarn supply packages.
These and other objects will become apparent from the following detailed description.
In accordance with applicants invention, yarn from several hollow yarn supply packages is continuously unwound and combined into a single strand of entwined yarn by arranging the yarn supply packages in pairs, each pair supplying one end of yarn to the entwined strand. In each pair the packages preferably are mounted one above the other in axial alignment, with the inner end of yarn from the upper package being tied to the outer end of yarn from the lower package. Two or more pairs of thus-mounted packages are arranged so that their hollow cores lie along the same axis and the outer end from the 3,145,573 Patented Sept. 1, 1964 ice upper package of the lower pair passed through the cores of the upper pair of yarn supply packages. The outermost yarn from the top package of the upper pair and the yarn from the top package of the lower pair are then drawn off simultaneously and entwined into a single strand which is taken up on a suitable collection spool. When the yarn from the top packages is exhaused, transfer is automatically made to the lower package of each pair.
The operator, in dong, removes the exhausted upper packages, moves the lower supply package of each pair to the upper position, replaces them with fresh packages, ties the ends as previously outlined and recommences the entwining operation.
For purposes of further illustration, there is shown in the drawings a preferred embodiment of the invention. However, the invention is not intended to be limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
FIGURE 1 is a vertical section showing the arrangement of two pairs of supply packages at the beginning of the entwining operation.
FIGURE 2 is a vertical section of the uppermost pair of supply packages after all the yarn has been unwound from the top cone and transfer has been made to the lower cone of the pair.
FIGURE 3 is a cross section of the cone or package holder.
In FIGURE l, hollow yarn supply packages 1, 2, 3 and 4 are arranged in pairs mounted on hollow spindles 5 and 6, each pair being separated by cone holders 7 and 8. Plates 9 and 10 support each pair of packages which in turn are mounted on frame members 11 and 12.
The inner end of yarn 13 from supply package 1 is tied at 14 to the outer end of yarn 15 from supply package 2. Yarn ends 16 and 18 from supply packages 3 and 4 are tied at 17 in a corresponding manner. The outermost yarn 19 from supply package 3 passes through thread guide 20, hollow spindle 5 and then through thread guide 21 where it is entwined with the outermost yarn 22 from supply package 1. The thus-entwined yarn is then taken up on collection spool 23.
In FIGURE 2, only the top pair of supply packages are shown. All of the yarn has been drawn olf supply package 1 with only cone 24 remaining and transfer has been made to supply package 2. Thus, outermost yarn 15 from supply package 2 is entwined with outermost yarn 13 from supply package 4 at this stage of the operation.
Cone holder 7, shown more clearly in FIGURE 3, is provided with circular rim or flange 25 for supporting a yarn supply package. Annular bore 26 passes transversely through holder 24 for receiving a hollow spindle. Edge 27 is beveled slightly to facilitate assembly. Side portion or plug 28 is tapered to the same degree of inclination as the inner surface of conventional hollow yarn cones. Tubular mandrel 30 extends from the body of cone holder 7 and is of such diameter that a snug fit is provided when inserted into the upper opening of a conventional hollow yarn cone.
In accordance with applicants entwining method, hollow yarn supply packages 1 and 2, separated by cone holder 7, are placed over spindle 5 on plate 9 mounted on frame 11. Inner end 13 of package 1 is tied at 14 to outer end 15 of package 2. Alternatively, other connecting means such as gluing the yarn ends together may be used. In like manner, yarn supply packages 3 and 4 are mounted on frame 12 and the inner and outer ends similarly connected. The outermost yarn 19 from supply package 3 is fed through guide 20 and hollow spindle 5. Outermost yarn 22 from supply package l and yarn 19 are drawn simultaneously and entwined. The thus-entwined yarn is then passed through guide 21 and collected on spool 23. When all the yarn on supply packages 1 and 3 is consumed, transfer is automatically made to packages 2 and 4. It is immaterial whether the yarn on packages 1 and 3 runs out simultaneously since the transfer to the lower package of each pair is automatic as soon as the upper package is exhausted.
After all of the yarn has been unwound from both upper supply packages, the apparatus is stopped, the yarn is cut and the cones of supply packages 1 and 3 removed together with the balance of yarn supply packages 2 and Fresh yarn packages are placed in the positions formerly occupied by packages 2 and 4 and packages 2 and 4 are mounted in the positions formerly occupied by packages 1 and 3. The ends are tied in the same manner as outlined previously and the yarn entwining operation continued until the next dofiing is required. While the entwining operation has been described using only two pairs of yarn supply packages, any number of pairs may be employed to produce a multi-strand entwined yarn.
By arranging the yarn supply packages in pairs in accordance with applicants invention, all of the yarn may be used from a supply package before dofiing, thus eliminating the waste usually concomitant with entwining operations utilizing supply packages having unequal yarn lengths. Moreover, the operator need not pay close attention to the run out of yarn on the first package since ample time is allowed for dofling after the first package of each pair is consumed and during run off of yarn from the second packages. Operator attention, therefore, may be divided over a greater number of positions.
