Definitions

  • This invention relatesto warp knitting machines or the like and more particularly is directed to yarn packages and their assembly into novel spot beams for use in the manufacture of Raschel knitwear.
  • the objects of the invention is to eliminate the expensive, time consuming beaming operation presently being performed by knitters and the attending necessity for storing on the knitters premises large supplies of spot beams containing various numbers and arrangements of ends of yarn for use in knitting specific patterns, such as lace motifs, by providing individual serving tube yarn packages of improved construction, which packages can easiiy and selectively as to number and spacing be assembled on a light weight supporting beam to meet immediate requirements, which yarn packages shall be pre-wound on uniform cores, said uniform cores being frictionally engageable with adjoining cores or having means for interlocking with adjoining cores to effect connection to each other and turning with the supporting beam, which yarn packages shall be sized for easy handling and to provide a maximum number of ends of yarn to meet requirements of existing Vknitting machines, which assembly may include simple, effective and inexpensive spacers particularly adapted for use between flangeless yarn packages of the cheese type, which beam assembly shall provide improved tension control of the motif yarns knit into Raschel laces, reducing the occurrence of broken ends
  • FIG. l is an elevational view Vof a spot beam assembly constructed to embody the invention comprising individual uniform yarn packages pre-wound on cheese tubes keyed together with retaining discs and resilient compressible spacers positioned therebetween.
  • FlG. 2 is a fragmentary View similar to FIG. 1 with the discs and spacers broken away to show the cheese tube keyed interconnection.
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line 3-3 in FIG. 2.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are front and end elevational views, respectively, of an individual yarn package removed from the assembly
  • f FIG. 6 is an enlarged exploded view of a portion Vof the spot beam of FTG; l showing, respectively, eginning at the left, a fragment of the core of a first yarn package, a ⁇ retaining disc for said package, a resilient spacer, a retaining disc for a second adjoining yarn package and the second yarn package showing the cheese tube Withjthe integral universal interconnecting means.
  • 16 denotes 1a spot Patented st. 20, 1964 rice* beam assembly constructed to embody the invention comprising a beam 11 on which a series of yarn packages 12,
  • Beam 11 may preferably be of light weight construction terminating in opposite ends 11a formed for removable mounting on the knitting machine to be driven in any conventional manner.
  • Beam 11, ⁇ between ends 11a may be of tubular stock having a uniform cross section for slidingly receiving yarn packages 12 thereon and have retaining ianges 11b adjacent opposite ends 11a, at least one of the flanges 11b being readily removable, as by set screw 11j, for mounting and replacing yarn packages 12.
  • Yarn packages 12 are preferably of uniform size and shape, seen in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 to comprise a cheese tube or core 15 on which yarn 16 is cheesed helically criss-cross in a manner to provide opposite substantially hat, parallel faces 12a.
  • Tube 15 which may be made of any suitable material, such as wood, pressed fiber, resinous plastic, metal, or preferably cardboard, has a bore 15a sized to snugly slide onto and along beam 11 and is of a length to project beyond both opposite faces 12a apart from each other as is clear from FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • edge borders 15b may be formed with any suitable engaging means, here shown as alternate projections 15e and recesses 15d which are symmetrically sized and shaped to universally engage with like recesses 15d and projections 15e, respectively, of adjacent tubes 15.
  • Yarn retaining discs 13 may be made of any suitable material, for example, stamped from plastic sheeting, and have central openings 13a sized to iit onto tube 15. A disc 13 is mounted to abut each opposite face 12a. Cooperating with discs 13, in providing means for preventing yarn 16 from sloughing off faces 12a as the yarn 16 is consumed, are resilient spacers 14, each being positioned between discs 13 of adjacent yarn packages 12.
  • Resilient spacers 14 are shaped to conform substantially to disc 13 having central openings 14a sized to it onto tube 15 and may be made of any suitable material having compressible resilient properties, such as felt, expanded plastic or rubber foam and the like. Spacers 14 are of sufficient uncompressed thickness, that is slightly in excess of the distance between adjacent discs 13 when tubes 15 of adjacent yarn packages 12 are mutually contacting relationship, to require compression when in assembly on beam 11 between retaining discs 13 thereby serving to resiliently retain discs 13 against faces 12a of yarn packages 12.
  • Any suitable means may be provided for ⁇ connecting cheese tubes 15 to rotate with beam 11. As shown in.
  • retaining flanges 11b maybe provided with a coupling ring 11e ⁇ having alternate projections 11d and recesses 11e for meshing with recesses 15d and projections 150, respectively, of the adjacent tube 15.
  • such means may be omitted and substantial rotation of yarn packages 12 with beam 11 may be effected by frictional engagement between the substantially at, parallel opposite faces 12a of the cheesed yarn, retaining discs 13, spacers14 and, when such are used, dummy packages 17 and frictionalengagement between the terminal members of this group of elements and contiguous flanges 11b.
  • Theeifecting of such frictional engagement Y is, of course, aided by the compressible resilient propertiesof the spacers. The net result is that yarn packages able therewith.
  • the knit ashamed having determined-warp yarn requirements as to number of ends and spatial arrangement for a particular run may on-the-spot construct beam assembly by removing one or both of the fianges 11b and sliding resilient spacers 14, discs 13 and yarn package 12 onto beam 11 in the sequence shown in FIG. 1.
  • edge borders b of adjacent yarn packages 12 are brought into interfitting abutment, lwith projections 15c and recesses 15d in full and complete engagement to uniformly compress all resilient spacers 14.
  • one or more dummy packages 17 may be inserted as spacers between yarn packages 12. AS shown in FIG.
  • such dummy package 17 may include a tube or core 18 having opposite borders formed with engaging means intertting with projections 15e and recesses 15d of tubes 15.
  • the removed fiange or flanges 11b are then replaced on beam 11, retaining the assembly of yarn packages 12, discs 13, spacers 1d and, where required, dummy packages 17 in engagement with each other and connected to rotate with beam 11, the latter now being ready for installation and use on the knitting machine.
  • the engaging means of edge bordersilb may be omitted and the compression on packages 12 exerted between flanges 11b adjusted to yield under tension exerted by the knitting machine on the individual ends of yarn.
