Definitions
- a backing is moved along a path and controlled lengths of a plurality of pile yarns having different appearance characteristics are released to a hollow needle which is reciprocated back and forth to insert the tip thereof through a backing. Air i'smoved through the needle in a stream that tends to project the pile yarns from the tip of the needle as these yarns are supplied to the needle. At each point where the tip of the needle enters the backing, it is possible to form a pile loop of any desired height from any one or all of the pile yarns passing through that needle.
- the amount of that yarn made available to the needle can be made to correspond to the length of I the backstitch.
- a greater amount ofanother yarn may be supplied to the needle to form a pile loop extending through the backing.
- a plurality of pile loops of the same or different heights also may extend through the backing at any given point of penetration of the needle.
- the selectivity necessary for producing figured patterns and the like maybe obtairled by selectively controlling the relative amount of different yarns that are supplied to a given needle during the loop-forming cycles.
- FIGURE 1 is a somewhat diagrammatic cross-sectional view of a multiple needle tufting machine for carrying out a method of the invention;. 7 Y a j I FIGURE 2 is a diagrammatic view illustrating generally the paths of the pile yarns supplied to the needles of the illustrating pile loop-forming operations carried out in ai:- v
- FIGURE. 11 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a face portion of a fabric embodying the invention.
- FIGURE 12 is a diagrammatic perspective view of the bottom of a floor covering embodying the invention, with a portion of a cover fabric being lifted to reveal the disposition of the pile yarns along the backing;
- FIGURES 13, 14 and 15 are diagrammatic views illustrating loop forming operations in accordance with the invention performed by passing the needle tip a. shorter distance through the backing than is illustrated in FIG- URES 5, 7 and 9; and
- FIGURE 16 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along the line 16-16 in FIGURE 1.
- the tufting machine of FIGURE 1 is provided with suitable fabric feeding and guiding means, including rollers 2 and 4, for advancing a backing 6 across the bed 8 of the machine in a conventional manner.
- the backing 6 ordinarily is a woven fabric of jute or cotton, but any suitable material may be used.
- the backing 6 As the backing 6 is advanced, it moves through a tufting zone Where pile loops are inserted therethrough.
- the backing sheet 6 is supported from below by a plurality of tine or finger elements 10 secured to the bed 8 and it is held against substantial upward movement by a presser member 12 carried by bracket means 14 secured to an upper housing unit 16 of the machine.
- the presser member 12 is provided with openings 18 in vertical alignmerit with the spaces between adjacent ones of the tines 10 and also in vertical alignment with the needles 20 of the machine.
- Each of the needles 20 is provided with an axial passageway 21 of sufiicient size to accommodate a pluralitycarrier 26 is a simple reciprocating motion. With this typeof needle motion; it is desirable that the advance of thebacking 6 be intermittent so that it need not move during the portion of the machine cycle when the tips of the needles 20 are inserted into the backing. It is preferred that the needles 20 be disposed in a plurality of rows extending across the path of the backing 6 and that the needles 20 of one row be staggered with respect to the needles 20 of the other rows. Two transverse rows 2%; and 20b of the needles 20 are shown in FIGURE 16.
- the drive for the needle carrier 26 may include an eccentric 28 rotatable with a driven shaft 30 within a bear ing member 32.
- the bearing member 32 is pivotally cortnected at 34 to the upper end of a push rod 36 mounted for vertical sliding movement in a bearing member 3% azzasri carried by the upper housing unit 16 of the machine.
- the push rod 36 is connected rigidly to the needle carrier 26 so that the needle carrier 26 willmove up and down as the eccentric 28 rotates about the axis of the drivenshaft 30.
- the needle carrier 26 includes a largev air chamber 40 to which air under pressure may besupplied through one or more flexible tubes 42 leading from a suitablepressurized air s'ource'44 suchas the discharge.
- Each of the needles 20 is .mounted on the needle carrier 26 by set screws 45 or other'suitablemeans, and each passes through the air 1 chamber 40..
- the wall ofeach needle has orifice. means 46in communication with the air chamber 40. Air is prevented from escaping around the. exterior wall of each needle by suitable O-rings 48 or other sealing means.
- orifices 46 are inclined downwardly and inwardly tocause air from the chamber 40 to flow into the axial passageway 21 of the needle in the form of a high velocity downwardly directed stream. It is desirable that the orifice means 46 be such as to reduce the pressure of the air below atmospheric pressure at the outletof the orifice means. With this arrangement an additional draft of air downwardly through the open, upper end of the axial passageway 21 in the needle is induced, and threading of the needle may beaccomplished by delivering-a yarn end to the upper end of the passage- .way 21. t
- the high. velocity air stream flowing downwardly through a needle 20 exerts drag forces on the pile yarns '22 and 24 tending to project these yarns from the lower end oi the needle; The air stream will pull through a needle 20 whatever length of yarn is released to the needle. It is important to note also that the forces are applied to the yarns in such a way that the'individual yarns may be fed atdifferent' rates. For example, dur- ,ing a given timeinterval there may be fed. through the axial'passageway 21 of a given'needle 20 a small length of pileyarn 22' and a greaterlength of another pile yarn 24. :When a plurality'of pile yarns pass together through a single yarn passageway 21.
- the yarns may be given a temporary treatment, such as a coating of starch, to improve their surface characteristics during the tuftingprocess, or'the passageway through the needle may be subdivided or partitioned soas to minimizecontact between the yarns.
- a temporary treatment such as a coating of starch
- the supplying of pile yarns to the needles 20 is accomplished in the machine illustrated-in the drawings by..a feed mechanism 50 of the notched bar type.
- feed mechanism 50 of the notched bar type.
- other suitable feed mechanisms capable of selec- ..:tively varying the rate of delivery of individual ones or ;.groups of the pile yarns may be used if desired.
- FIG- assembly 58 have shallow notches 60, intermediate depth notches 61,-and deep notches 62 in their edges for receiving pairs of the pile yarns.
- the pile yarns are carried along; undulating paths of different lengths.
- the endless chains 56 and.58 move a-pair of pattern bars 52 and 54 out of the zone of intermeshing, the amountof a given yarn released depends upon whether that yarn passed through a shallow notch'60, an inter mediate depth notch 61, 'or a de'ep notch 62in that bar 54. from a shallow notch 60.
- a plurality of pile yarns be disposed .ineach of the notches60, 61 and 62. As shown, pairs of the yarns 22 of one color pass through alternate ones of the notches and pairs or the yarns 24 of another color pass through intermediate ones of the notches. This arrangement isnot essential however, and
- the needles 20 of the tuf'ting machine From the feed mechanism theyarns pass to the needles 20 of the tuf'ting machine through guides such as openings 64 and 66 in a plate member 68 attached to the housing unit 16. In the illustrated machine there are two of the guide openings 64 and 66 for each of the needles 20.- However, if more than two yarns are to be supplied to each of the needles 20, the guide means would include more guide openings per needle.
- the pile yarns 22 and 24passing to a given needle 20 have different appearance characteristics. They may differ in vcolor or texture or'both. This is suggested in the drawings by the stippling applied to the yarn 22.
- FIGURES 5 through 10 illustrate a sequence of' three needle penetrations during which three distinctlytdiffer ent appearance effects are produced. on the surface-of the fabric by a single needle 20. Only two "pile yarns are shown in their views, but it will be understood that 7 that cycle an amount of the yarn, 24 greater than the during the next cycle.
- FIGURES 7 and 8 are similar to FIGURES 5 and 6 with respect to the illustrated positions of theneedle 20. However, these views illustrate the conditions that .exist During this cycle, the amount of the yarn'24 that is supplied to the needle 20 is suf ficient to permit the formation of a short loop 74:
- FIGURES 9 and 10 illustrates athird cycle, in which equal amounts of the yarns 22 and 24 are released to the needle-20 to form long loops from both of the pile yarns. Only one such loop 78 is visible in these views because the other is directly behind it.
- the two yarns 22 and 24 have shifted laterally with re-' without difficulty.
- the pile yarn 22 may be disposed to the left "of the pile yarn 24 and at another point the pile yarn 22may be disposed to the right of the pile yarn 24.
- the crossing of the yarns may be allowed to occur in a random manner or it may be controlled where desired.
- the point P is 'in transverse alignment with the point C.
- the brown and white loops are of equal heights and contribute equally to the appearance of the face of the fabric, but at point F the brown-loop is higher than the white loop so that the'white loop is at least partially concealed.
- Blends of the two colors may be obtained in either high or low "loops, or one color maybe caused to predominate over the other. Additionally, it should be observed that variations in mechanical characteristics, such as the deformability'of the pile surface of the fabric, result from the with any desired pattern.
- FIGURE 12 also serves to clarify the relationship of the pile yarns 22 and 24 of a set to each other as they extend along the backing 6. They run generally in side-by-side:
- FIGURES l3 and 14 illustrate the formation of a high loop 86 from the yarn 22 at a point where the yarn 24 never enters the opening in backing 6. Yet, a plurality of loops 88 and 90 may be formcd,'as indicated in FIGURE 15, at any needle penetration point wherethey may be desired.
