Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a balloon-confining apparatus for spinning and twisting machines, which includes a balloon-confining mantle of a foil made of a wear-resistant flexible material as for instance sheet metal or of synthetic material such as polytetrafiuorethylene. Such foil is bent into a tubular configuration with a circular or polygonal cross section and is at least along one of its end edges detachably connected to holding means.
  • detachably connected foil strips as balloon-confining means has the advantage that such foil strips or foils when worn out or greatly soiled can easily be exchanged for new foils without the necessity of detaching the holding means for the foils from the machine frame.
  • loom-confining means are yieldable in radial direction to a certain extent which in turn reduces the wear while allowing a self-centering of the foil strip within the range of the thread contact or thread engagement.
  • Holding means for such foil-confining members usually consist of annular bodies to which the edges or marginal portions of the foil stripare clamped. These foil strips are provided with special clamping means and flanges for connection to the machine frame.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a balloon-confining apparatus and especially holding means for balloon-confining means, which will make it possible to arrange the balloon-confining apparatuses on one machine side adjacent to each other in such a way that they form a closed unit while the individual holding means for the balloon-confining means can nevertheless be detached from the machine independently of each other.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a block-shaped holding member for balloon-confining means, which holding member has its rear wall connected to a part of a machine frame.
  • FIG. 2 is a holding device for balloon-confining means which is somewhat similar to that of FIG. 1 and differs therefrom primarily in that the holding device is con- In addition thereto, such foils as bal-v 3,299,624 Patented Jan. 24, 1967 ICE nected by two legs on opposite sides of a spindle bearing section to a spindle rail.
  • FIG. 3 is an isometric view and partial section of a two-for-one twisting spindle with a holder for balloon- 5 confining means as shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an isometric view of a block-shaped holder for balloon-confining means, which holder has its bottom connected directly to the spindle rail.
  • FIG. 5 is a horizontal section through the arrangement of FIG. 3, said section being taken along the line V-V of FIG. 3 while the spindle and the parts pertaining thereto have been removed.
  • a balloon-confining device is characterized primarily in that the holder for the balloon-confining foil or the like includes a blockshaped housing, especially square block-shaped housing, having one side thereof, especially the front side, provided with a threading slot, while the maximum width of said holder does not exceed the spacing between the spindles.
  • the bottom of the block-shaped holder is provided with a passage for the spindle rotor, while the top wall of the holder has an opening approximately corresponding to the path of movement of the yarn along the tubular balloon-confining member. This opening receives the foil strip the upper marginal portion of which is detachably connected to the marginal portion of the opening confining wall of the holder.
  • the lower edge of the balloon-confining foil may be detachably connected to the bottom of the holder, or according to another embodiment of the invention the tubular balloonconfining foil may be detachably connected to the threading slot confining edges.
  • a holder for balloon-confining means which together with the adjacent block-shaped holders will form a hollow beam which may extend over the length of the spinning or twisting machine while nevertheless permitting the removal and exchange of the balloon-confining means and holders independently of each other and of the other holders.
  • the insertion of the foil strip as balloon-confining means assures a certain self-centering of the mantle section acted upon by the yarn.
  • balloon-confining means are known the inner wall of which is surrounded by a stabilizing box and consists of a single piece therewith.
  • a stabilizing box has precisely the width which corresponds to the spindle spacing.
  • the height of such known stabilizing box equals the heights of the inner wall of the balloon-confining means, and the depth corresponds approximately to the spacing of the spindle.
  • Each of these known balloon-confining means with stabilizing box positively engages by said box the respective adjacent stabilizing box.
  • the fact that the stabilizing box and the balloon-confining means consists of a single integral piece, makes impossible a self-centering of the inner wall. Moreover, when the inner wall has worn, the entire arrangement, i.e. the inner wall together with the stabilizing box has to be exchanged.
  • the present invention provides for individual holders for balloon-confining means, in which the foil strips can be exchanged individually while the holders for the balloon-confining means of one machine side can similar to heretofore known arrangements be so installed as to form a hollow beam extending along the machine, in which the individual balloon-confining means are located.
  • the bottom of the block-shaped housing according to the invention may be provided with a circular or polygonal groove into which the lower edge of the foil strip may be inserted.
  • the foil strip may be arrested at the top or at the bottom of the block. In some instances, it will suffice to hold the foil strip at the top or ceiling wall only so that the lower marginal portion is able to a certain extent to yield radially. However, it is also possible to hold the lower marginal portion of the foil strip only so that in this instance a certain yielding or oscillation of the upper marginal portion will be possible. Furthermore, the foil strip at the upper and lower marginal portions can be held by the top wall or the bottom wall in such a way that both marginal portions will have a radial play so that the foil strip is able to move radially in its entirety.
  • the elasticity of the foil strip permits a yielding of the balloon-confining means with regard to the thread engaging the same.
  • the arrangement shown therein comprises a square block-shaped housing 1 forming the holder for balloon-confining means, which holder has its rear wall 2 directly connected to a rail 3 of the machine frame.
  • the block-shaped housing 1 may be cast of metal, for instance aluminum, or of synthetic material, for instance polytetrafluorethylene. However, if desired, housing 1 may also be made of metal strips bent accordingly and soldered or welded together.
  • the front wall 4 of housing 1 is provided with a threading slot 5.
  • the top wall 6, the side wall 8, and the bottom 7 are preferably formed of one single piece and are connected to the rear wall 2 by welding, soldering, riveting, or by screws.
  • the top wall 6 has a substantially circular opening 9 the marginal portion of which is formed into an upwardly directed annular rib 10.
  • a cylindrical elastic foil strip 16 (FIG. 3) of metal or synthetic material as, for instance polytetrafluorethylene.
  • the upper marginal portion 15 of said foil strip is outwardly flanged or folded over so as to extend over the annular rib 10.
  • foil strip 16 is by means of its upper rim held on the top wall 6 with or without radial play.
  • the lower marginal portion of foil strip 16 may be freely suspended in the housing 1 or, if desired, may with or without radial play be held at the bottom 7.
  • the longitudinal edges of the foil strip may be detachably connected to the marginal portions of the threading slot on housing 1 so that the upper and lower rims of the foil strip may be movable radially.
  • the longitudinal edges of the foil strip 16 may extend within the range of the threaded slot 5 and may be folded over outwardly and held at the edges of the threaded slot 5 in front wall 4, as shown, for instance, in FIG. 5.
  • Bottom 7 of the box-shaped housing 1 may be provided with a further opening having a diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the cylindrical foil.
  • the opening in the said bottom 7 may also be such that its diameter corresponds to the diameter of the spindle rotor in the plane of said bottom 7.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a two-for-one twisting spindle with a holder for balloon-confining means, which holder or housing is similar to that of FIG. 2.
  • the bottom wall 7 has an opening 14 the diameter of which corresponds to the opening 9 in the top wall 6.
  • FIG. 3 also shows how the upper margin 15 of the cylindrical foil strip 16 engages the annular groove 17 and the opening 9 in bottom wall 6.
  • the lower marginal portion of foil strip 16 engages an annular groove 18 confining the opening 14 in bottom wall 7.
  • the opening 14 in the bottom wall of housing 1 may be closed by a bottom plate from below, which may be detachably connected to the bottom wall and which has a passage for the whorl or the spindle neck. More specifically, a rectangular-shaped bottom plate 19 is screwed onto the bottom wall 7. It will be seen from FIG. 3 that bottom plate 19 completely closes housing 1 from below, with the exception of the circular opening 29 through which whorl 21 extends. Above bottom plate 19 there is provided a turntable 22 with a thread storage disc 23 the outer diameter of which is less than the diameter of opening 14.
  • the bobbin carrier, generally designated 24, is provided with a protective basket 25 having connected thereto magnets 26 arranged approximately between the upper and lower edges of said basket 25.
  • Magnets 26 have associated therewith counter-magnets 27 arranged at approximately the same level as magnets 26 and connected to the inside of housing 1, preferably near the corners thereof. These counter-magnets 27 are supported by supporting members 33 connected in any convenient manner to the walls 8 of housing 1, as likewise shown in FIG. 5.
  • Front housing wall 4 is along the threaded slot 5 bent inwardly so that the radially outwardly bent longitudinal edges of foil strip 16 can be rested on adjacent housing wall sections. According to the specific embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the foil edges rest in longitudinal grooves 4a provided in those edge portions of wall 4 which confine the threading slot 5.
  • connection of the block-shaped housing 1 to the spindle rail of the arrangement shown in FIG. 3 may be effected in the same manner as shown in FIG. 2 by means of two supporting members 13 (one only being shown in FIG. 3) on opposite sides of the spindle bearing means 12 (FIG. 2).
  • cylindrical elastic foil 1.6 which, instead of being cylindrical, may also be of a polygonal cross-section, can without difliculty be lifted upwardly out of housing 1 and may be replaced by another foil when it has worn down or is soiled to a major extent. All parts of the spindle which are above the bottom wall 7 of block-shaped housing 1 are covered and are thus protected against soil. This is of particular importance for the magnets 27 which, in conformity with the present invention are arranged in a closed chamber between foil 16 and housing 1. When being installed, the individual holders for the balloon-confining means will, according to FIG.
  • housing 1 is preferably selected slightly less than the'spacing between the spindles.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a further embodiment of the present invention with a holder or housing 1, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • housing 1 rests directly by means of its bottom 7 on a spindle rail 28 which,
  • spindle rail 28 has a downwardly extending flange 30 with an inwardly directed arm 31 by means of which whorl 29' is covered toward the front and toward the bottom.
  • Spindle 29 has an extension extending below flange 31 and adapted to be engaged selectively by a brake lever 32 for braking the spindle.
  • block-shaped housings forming holders for the balloon-confining means can be mounted in various manners inasmuch as they may be connected to frame sections or directly to the'spindle rail. Moreover, it is irrelevant in which manner the journalling and the drive of the spindle are effected. At any rate, the connection of the holder or housing for the balloon-confining means may be adapted to the respective prevailing conditions.
  • the foil strip 16 has been described above as a cylindrical tubular member, it is obvious that it can also have a polygonal cross-section without in any way changing its arrangement in and connection with said housing. It is, of course, evident that in case the foil strip is of a polygonal shape, the recesses 9 and holding grooves or ribs will have to be designed correspondingly polygonally, with or without radial play, for the foil strip held thereby.
