Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for producing a yarn package wound on a bobbin and more particularly to a device for producing a yarn package wound on a bobbin and provided with a transfer tail and an initial thread end which are fixed on the bobbin.
  • the invention also relates to a method for effecting the winding of such packages and to the yarn packages produced thereby.
  • transfer tails which sometimes also are referred to as rat tails.
  • Such transfer or rat tails are yarn ends which project from the lower ends of the yarn packages and immediately precede the yarn windings of the package which are initially liad on and consequently are nearest to the surface the bobbin.
  • the presence of such a transfer tail is desired to provide a plurality of yarn packages which are capable of supplying upon unwinding a single continuous thread.
  • the yarn ends often are fixed on the bobbin.
  • the present invention has for its primary object the providing of a yarn package which is not characterized by the drawbacks characterizing previously available yarn packages.
  • the fixing of the initial thread end and the transfer tail may be carried out in a simple manner in accordance with the present invention by means of a technique wherein a waste bundle initially is formed on the winding spindle of a bobbin assembly and a yarn package is formed on the bobbin by conventionally controlling the traverse motion of a thread guiding means such as a rail ring along the bobbin length.
  • This technique includes, subsequent to the formation of the waste bundle and preliminary to the winding of the package on the bobbin, laying several separate windings, forming the transfer tail, on the bobbin between the waste bundle and the package windings, on which separate windings, after completion of the winding of the yarn package, additional windings are laid in the form of a fixation bundle which are maintained in place by adhesive applied to the thread being wound preliminary to the laying of said last mentioned windings.
  • the transfer tail of the yarn package so produced is fixed under the fixation bundle of windings and the initial thread end is adhesively fixed to the fixation bundle windings.
  • adhesive applied to the thread laid on said fixation bundle preferably is of the fast-drying latex type which, after drying, is characterized by substantially no adhesive properties but is cohesive. Adhesives of such types are preferred since with the use thereof the operating equipment is not unsuitably soiled.
  • a sufi'icient amount of the adhesive is applied to the threads forming the fixation bundle to maintain the last laid windings of the fixation bundle in place.
  • the adhesive may be applied to all of the thread wound up in the fixation bundle or to only such a proportion of the last laid windings to provide a compact fixation bundle on which the initial thread end is fixed.
  • the yarn ends thereof simply may be fixed onto the bobbin tube entirely by machine in an operation which immediately follows the winding of the body of the package, as a result of which, the machine,
  • the method of the invention may be carried out by the use of a down twister which has a twisting spindle upon which a bobbin is mounted and a circular rim is positioned on the spindle below the bobbin with the outer rim thereof projecting from the circumference of the bobbin.
  • the circular rim advantageously may be provided with two notches therein which, in oppositely directed helices, run oblique to the axis of the twisting spindle and are positioned relative to each other at an angular displacement, preferably of about 180.
  • the down twister of the invention is provided with means for applying the adhesive to the thread in the formation of the fixation bundle to which and under which the respective ends of the yarn package are fixed.
  • Any suitable adhesive applying means may be employed.
  • Preferred embodiments of the down twister are adapted with -a rotating adhesive transfer roller mounted on the down twister frame and positioned adjacent the means for guiding the thread to the twisting spindle.
  • Adhesive is delivered to the surface of the transfer rolls by any suitable means, such as by positioning the roller so that the surface thereof is partially submerged in a bath of the adhesive.
  • the roller may be provided with means for adjusting the position thereof so that the roller surface may be moved in and out of contact with the thread fed to said fixation bundle.
  • a portion or all of the edge of the circular rim advantageously may be provided with a groove extending inwardly of the rim body in a plane vertical to the axis of the rim.
  • the groove preferably has a circular cross-section.
  • the groove is adapted to receive a cutting member, such as a blade or hot wire to sever the threads connecting the yarn package assembly of the invention to the waste bundle laid on the spindle therebelow.
  • the circular rim of the twisting spindle is provided with bevelled side faces.
  • the thread guiding member i.e., a twisting ring of a ring rail
  • windings slip upwards along the upper bevelled side face of the rim and are pulled and tightened on the windings of the previously laid fixation bundle.
  • the outer'circumference of the rim also may be rounded.
  • the bobbin of the apparatus of the present method is provided with one or more grooves in its surface extending parallel to the axis thereof in the region on which the fixation bundle windings are laid.
  • the ultimate user of the yarn package may easily cut the fixation bundle to obtain a package having a free initial thread end and transfer tail.
  • the invention contemplates embodiments for winding of one or more of the above-mentioned yarn packages.
  • the rail ring is first raised from an initial position where the twisting ring is opposite a waste receiving portion of the twisting spindle, below the yarn bobbin and at its lower limit on a normal traverse stroke. Then, upon traversing the twisting ring upwards, the thread passes over the rim edge and is caught in one notch in the circular rim of the twisting spindle and a few windings forming a transfer tail are laid on the bobbin.
  • the rail ring then is caused to traverse the bobbin to lay on super-imposed windings and form a yarn package, after which the ring rail is then moved to a point below the lower limit of its normal traverse stroke to lay windings at the bottom end of the bobbin forming a fixation bundle and an initial thread end. At this point, the ring rail is again lowered to its initial position. The latter of the initial thread windings on said fixation bundle is coated with adhesive to fix same to said fixation bundle. The thread then passes over the edge of said circular rim and is caught in the rims second notch.
  • FIGURE 1 is a schematic side view partially in section of a down twister of the invention on which there is wound a yarn package;
  • FIGURE 2 is a schematic view of a device employed in the present method for applying adhesive to the thread.
  • FIGURE 3 is a view in section of the circular rim of the twisting spindle employed in the present invention, showing an embodiment of a device for severing the threads connecting the yarn package to the waste bundle.
  • numeral 1 designates a twisting spindle which has a circular rim 2 provided with two notches 3 and 4. Notches 3 and 4 are directed in oppositely oblique directions relative to the direction of rotation of twisting spindle 1.
  • the portion of the twisting spindle 1 below rim 2 serves as waste retainer on which there is a bundle of waste windings 5.
  • a twisting ring 6 with a traveller 7 movable thereon is shown in three positions A, B and C.
  • Mounted on twisting spindle 1 is a bobbin 8 on which is laid yarn package 11.
  • Bobbin 8 is provided at its bottom end with one or more axial grooves 9 over which a fixation bundle 10 is laid. Between bundle 10 and package 11 on bobbin 8 a few steep windings 12 are wound which form the transfer tail.
  • twisting ring 6 When the package 11 is completed, twisting ring 6 is rapidly moved downwards to position B, laying yarn on package 11 along a steep helical line .14. In position B the twisting ring 6 remains stationary for some time to lay fixation bundle 10. With the aid of the beveled faces of rim 2 it is also possible to lay fixation bundle v without the twisting ring being stationary in position B. At least the last portion of the threads laid on bundle 10 is brought into contact with a licking roller 15 (shown in FIGURE 2). The surface of roller 15 is partly submerged in an adhesive 16 contained in a vessel 17. The lie-king roller 15 is, in a manner not shown, attached to the frame of the machine.
  • licking roller 15 is positioned just above a thread guide -18 of thread 19 ballooning above twisting ring 6.
  • the adhesive causes the windings of the bundle 10 to adhere to each other.
  • the adhesive is preferably a fast-drying latex of the type which, after drying adheres only to itself.
  • twisting ring 6 is rapidly moved downwardly into initial position A, in the meantime laying a connecting thread 20 which passes over the edge of rim 2 or is caught by the other of notches 3 and 4 in rim 2 running in the corresponding oblique direction, and winding yarn again on waste bundle 5.
  • the machine may now be stopped.
  • Connecting thread 13 is fixed under fixation bundle .10 and connecting thread 20 is fixed to bundle 10 by means of the adhesive.
  • bobbin 8 with package 11 wound thereon is lifted to be removed from twisting spindle 1, connecting threads 13 and 20, if not already caught, are then caught in notches 3 and 4, are tightened, and break.
  • the ultimate user of the yarn package prepared by the method of this invention will then obtain a yarn package with a free transfer tail 12 and a free initial end 14 by simply cutting bundle 10 at groove 9.
  • FIGURE 3 shows another embodiment of a device useful for breaking connecting threads 13 and 20.
  • rim 2 of twisting spindle 1 is provided with a circular groove 21 opposite to which groove a hot wire 22 or some other cutting member is positioned.
  • the hot wire 22 is moved (by means not shown) into groove 21 and back, in the directions indicated by the arrows, the connecting threads thereby advantageously being cut entirely by machine operation. If use is made of this connecting thread breaking method, the connecting threads need not be fixed to the bobbin quite so firmly.
