No. 292,361 Claims priority, application Belgium, July 12, 1962, B 6,776, Patent 620,116 13 Claims. (Cl. 57-52) This invention relates to spinning and bobbin frames.

Spinning and bobbin frames are known in which a feeding device supplies material to be spun and made into bobbins to members which guide the yarns and are actuated with an up and down movement, said members rotating with hollow formation cones for the bobbins on revolving spindles, each provided with a bobbin carrier. In these frames the guide members for the yarns, the hollow cones and the spindles lie at a lower level than the feeding device. When they are made automatic, that is to say, when they are provided with a system for automatically ejecting the bobbins, frames of this type are of a complicated construction which excessively increases the cost, so that in practice their use is impossible inspite of their undeniable advantages.

The present invention proposes to eliminate this disadvantage by providing a spinning and bobbin producing frame which differs from the known frames. In a spinning and bobbin producing frame according to the invention, certain components occupy a proper position and a particular relative position which has the result of making a machine easy to construct and having qualities not achieved by any known frame. In accordance with an essential characteristic, the feed device, that is to say, the device supplying the material to be spun, is located in the lower part of the frame and is surmounted by hollow revolving cones which are disposed base upwards and are themselves surmounted by the revolving spindles which are vertically slidable in relation to their control box, by means of a lifting device acting on a suspension element on which they are hung, so as to be withdrawn from the hollow cones when the frame is stopped and then to be submitted to a means for disengaging the bobbins.

According to another characteristic, the suspension element consists of a longitudinal member, mounted so as to be vertically displaceable by the lifting device, and to which the bearings for the spindles are attached.

According to another characteristic, the device for disengaging the bobbins below the spindles is formed by at least one pusher co-operating with the bobbin carriers. In one embodiment the pusher is formed by a fixed stop against which the bobbin carriers are arrested when the lifting device, after having disengaged the spindles from the cones, carries on its movement and continues to lift the spindles in the direction of their longitudinal axis until the bobbins are disengaged.

In another embodiment the hanging spindles have two parts articulated to one another and the pushers are stops integral with a support displaceable along an inclined and fixed guiding path, the lower part of the spindles being brought parallel to this path either by the side thrust of a longitudinal rod acting on the base of the bobbins or by the thrust of the stops acting on the bobbin carriers.

Other characteristics will appear in the following description with reference to the attached drawings which show by way of example only, an embodiment of the invention and in which:

FIG. 1 is a schematic side view partiy in section and partly in elevation of a spinning and bobbin producing frame according to the invention;

FIG. 2 is a sectional view on enlarged scale of the hollow cone and the up and down thread guide;

3,173,239 Patented Mar. 16, 1965 FIG. 3 is a front view partly in elevation and partly in section of the frame shown in FIG. 1

FIG. 4 is a view on enlarged scale of the upper portion of FIG. 1; and

FIG. 5 is a view, also on enlarged scale, of the portion of FIG. 1 adjacent the hollow cone and the up and down thread guide.

Only parts necessary for the understanding of the invention are shown in the figures.

In the drawing, it will be seen that a spinning and bobbin producing frame according to the invention, has on the lower part of its structure 1, a feeding device consisting of a drum 2, supplying the material to be spun and made into bobbins, in the shape of threads or laces 3 which pass into the supply and draw

cylinders

4 and 4a located above the drum 2. The threads 3 then go vertically upwards towards the hollow cones 5 for making the bobbins.

These hollow cones are reversed, that is to say, they have their large base upwardly disposed. They are mounted on sleeves 5a on which pinions 6 are mounted which engage with pinions 7 driven by the bevel gear 3 engaging with pinions 9 fixed on the driving shaft 10.

The threads 3 pass upwards along the axis of the sleeves and then pass into a thread guide 11 rotating at the speed of the cones and actuated simultaneously by an up and down traverse mechanism which is constituted by a longitudinal bar 29 on which are fixed the forks 30, each of which accommodates a thread guide 11 in the peripheral groove 11a. At each of its ends, the bar 29 is fixed to a toothed rod, such as 30a, with which meshes a toothed sector 31 mounted on the shaft 32 to which the control mechanism of the machine imparts an alterna ing rotary motion owing to a known device (not shown). The yarns enter into the hollow cones 5 by passing through an aperture 5b. The revolving spindles are disposed along the axis of the cones 5 and above the latter, the said spindles consisting of an upper part 1212 and a lower part 12a articulated thereto. The bobbins 13, formed on the bobbin carriers 14 which are pushed progressively upwards in proportion to the winding of the yarns onto their lower ends, are to be found on these lower parts 12a.

Each of the spindles is provided at its upper end with a bearing 18 which is hung on an arm 19 vby pins 18a which lodge in slots 19a. These bearings are also made integral with a longitudinal member 15 on which they rest and which is carried at each end by rack rails 15:: sliding in guides 15]) under the action of driving pinions 16.

Articulately connected to the arm 19 is the rod 150, which can be actuated manually, to move its stud 15d below the projecting member 15e, which attaches the arm 19 to the longitudinal member 15, or to disengage said stud 15d from the projecting member 15s, thereby releasing the arm 19 which can thus be lifted in order to raise the spindle.

Pinions 17a are mounted on the upper parts 12b of the spindles by means of keys sliding in grooves. Pinions 17a engage pinions 17b which are driven by bevel gears 17c, which are themselves driven by the shaft 17d. The pinions 17c, 17b and 17a for driving or controlling the spindles are housed in the control box 17e. When the bobbin is completed, the frame is stopped and the bobbin carriers 14 are then located a little below the articulation 23 connecting the part 12a to the part 12b. The lifting device comes into action, that is to say the longitudinal member 15 is lifted and lifts with it the spindles hung thereon, thus drawing the lower end of the lower part out of the cones 5. That way, the bobbin carriers 14 take up the position 14' (FIG. 4) under the inclined pusher 20.

Now, the rod 25' extending longitudinally from one end to the other end of the frame and fixed to two lateral arms 24 is lifted by pivoting said arm 24 in clockwise direction. In' this manner, the rod 25 comes into contact against the lower portion of the bobbins, for-as has just been explain'edthe ends'of the bobbins 13 are withdrawn from the hollow cones 5 by the lifting of the spindles; Continuing its rotation until it reaches position '25, the rod 25 pushes laterally on the end of the bobbins, thereby causing the bobbins 13 and the lower portions 12d of the spindle to become inclined so as to take up the respective positions 13' and 12a. At that moment, the bobbin carriers 14 occupy an inclined position 14" slightly below the inclined pushers 20, and their inclined upwardly pointing base is almost parallel with said pushers 20. Said pushers are integral with the support 27 which is fixed to the rack rods 22, with which the control pinions 26 mesh. The rack rods 22 driven by said pinions slide in the fixed, inclined guide elements'21 which are formed by two slides. After the bobbins have been moved into an inclined position by the rod 25, the control mechanism of the machine drives the pinions 26, and the rack rods 22 descend and thereby engage the bases of the bobbin carrier, so that the portion 12a of the spindles becomes parallel with the .rack rods 7 The bobbin carriers are finally moved to the position 14" (FIG. 5), in which the corresponding positions of the rack rods are 22' and of the pushers 20'. Owing to this movement, the bobbins,

the thread of which has first been cut, are conducted from the position 13' to the position 13, in which they have dropped to the bottom of the portions or members 12a which carried them, and they are collected in a collecting box 28 from which they are later removed, possibly by a belt conveyor or in any other suitable manner.

With the rack rods being returned from position 22' to the starting position 22, the pushers return from position 20 (FIG. 5) to position 20 (FIG. 4), and the articulated lower portion of the spindles falls b'ack'aiitomatically, due to its own weight, from the inclined position 12%; to the vertical position 12a, for it is no longer supported in any manner since the longitudinal rod has been returned from position to position 25. The longitudinal member 15 is lowered, the spindles and the bobbin carriers return to their initial position and the spinning and bobbin producing operations canre-start.

A spinning and bobbin producing frame as has just been described has appreciable and extraordinary advantages over known frames. Among these advantages, there should be cited, in the first place, the simplicity of construction and above all the simplicity of theejection system because of the particular location of the parts in relation to one another. The ejection of the bobbins' preferably takes place towards the back of the machine and outside the position occupied by the person operating the frame. Furthermore, due to this type of ejection it is possible to re-start the frame immediately without turning attention to the bobbins, and finally the low position of the feed drum makes access thereto particularly easy and free from danger.
