Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved apparatus and method for supplying the shuttles of weaving looms, in particular wave weaving looms, wherein one shuttle after the other is supplied with a piece of thread which is continually delivered to the shuttles.
  • the yarn or thread after being clamped upon the momentarily wound shuttle spool is already cut before it is clamped upon the subsequent spool, so that it temporarily provides a free end. This is then blown and sucked against a rotatable disk upon which is placed the still empty subsequent shuttle spool while clamping the yarn or thread end. After winding the thread upon the shuttle spool the thread is clamped at a conveyor transporting the spools to the shed and finally cut.
  • the method and apparatus of the present invention has for one of its primary objects to overcome these disadvantages and to provide the possibility of supplying a large number of shuttles per unit time with thread pieces cut to length by means of simple operationally reliable means, as such is necessary with high speed weaving looms, in particular wave weaving looms. In so doing, the thread should also be considerably relieved from tension forces.
  • the present invention relates to apparatus for the execution of the aforesaid inventive method characterized by the features that, there is provided a stationary body member having one or more channels for the continuous delivery of a respective thread discharging into a gliding or slide surface. Additionally, there is provided a movable body member travelling upon the glide or slide surface of the stationary body member, such movable body member exhibiting at least two distributing channels for each of the mentioned thread delivery channels.
  • the inlet opening of these two distributing channels during the movement of the corresponding body member alternately come into communication with the mouth of the corresponding delivery channels of the glide or slide surface of the stationary body member, and the outlet openings of which in each case are brought into operable communication with a thread inlet opening of a shuttle which is to be filled, whereby the distributing channels associated with each delivery channel are separated from one another by intermediate walls extending to the aforementioned glide or slide surface which with the edge of the mouth of these delivery channels form means for cutting of the thread and for blocking the distributing channel through which travels the cut-off thread piece from the delivery channel.

  • FIG- URE 1 generally provides an overall view of a wave weaving loom.
  • FIGURE 2 two apparatuses possessing physical structure as depicted in FIGURES 3 to 8 are installed alternatively, one apparatus which corresponds to the embodiment depicted in FIGURES 9 to 11 may be provided.
  • This 'wave weaving loom incorporates a warp beam 80 mounted in a frame 57 from which the warp threads 82 travel over a tension roller 81 and, then, by means of movable harnesses 59 are raised and lowered groupwise in such a manner that the wave-shaped travelling sheds are formed.
  • a shuttle 42 always travels in each shed for inserting a weft thread and at the end of its path of travel departs empty from the warp 82. By virtue of continuous beating up of each inserted weft thread there results the woven fabric. This fabric travels over a breast roll 83, two deflecting rollers 84 and a contact or pressure roller 85 onto a cloth beam 86.
  • An electric motor provided with gear or transmission block 58 drives the harnesses 59, the shuttles 42 and the cloth beam 86 through the agency of an appropriate drive mechanism not shown in further detail.
  • the shuttles 42 which move out of the warp 82 empty arrive, in accordance with FIGURE 2, at one, for exam,- ple designated by reference numeral 40, of two deflecting wheels 40, 40'. Since the physical structure of both deflecting wheels 40, 40' and associated structure is sub stantially identical the description to follow will primarily deal with deflecting wheel 40.
  • Each shuttle 42 transcribes an arc of 180 at this deflecting roller or wheel 40, then travels externally of the warp 82 towards the second deflecting wheel 40' where it again transcribes an arc of 180 and once again enters into a shed which has just opened and is travelling through the warp 82.
  • each second shuttle 42 is fillted with a new piece of weft thread and the intermediate disposed, still empty shuttles 42 are filled in the same manner with apiece of weft thread during such time as they are located at the second deflecting roller or wheel 40. It is to be appreciated that with a filling apparatus of the type depicted in FIGURES 9 to 11 all of the shuttles 42 and 42' are filled during such time as they are located upon the deflecting wheel 40, so that filling mechanism or apparatus is no longer necessary for the shuttles while they are located at the second deflecting Wheel 40'.
  • each of both of the filling apparatus encompassing the deflecting wheels 40 and 40 have delivered thereto a thread 30 and 30' respectively, continuously drawn off a respective supply spool 45 and 45 by means of a pair of rollers 43, 43a and 43, 43a respectively, with the supply spools 45 and 45 being mounted upon a respective stationary shaft 45a and 45a.
  • One of the rollers of each pair namely, the rollers 43 and 43 is driven synchronously with the harnesses 59 and the shuttles 42 by means of the gear or transmission block 58.
  • both of the rollers of each pair 43 and 43 are tapered or conical.
  • the threads 30 and 30' are guided through the nip between the rollers 43 and 43a and 43' and 43a, respectively, by thread guides 92 and 92, respectively, which preferably are displaceable in a direction parallel to the axes of the said rollers.
  • thread guides 92 and 92 which preferably are displaceable in a direction parallel to the axes of the said rollers.
  • the supply apparatus to which the thread 30 is continuously delivered in the aforedescribed manner exhibits a stationary body member 33 and a rotating body member 25 (see FIGURE 3) cooperating with the stationary body member 33, such rotating body member 25 being seated upon the deflecting roller or wheel 40 and together with the latter being rotatably mounted upon a non-rotating journal or plug 41.
  • Three compressed air conduits or pipes 20, 26 and 27 are connected to the stationary body member 33 and find their extension in channels of the body member 33 bearing the same reference numerals.
  • channels discharge or open at the flat underside of the stationary body member 33 at the same spacing from its vertical axis, and indeed, the channel 26 is in front of the channel 20 and the channel 27 is in front of such channel 20, measured in the direction of rotation of the deflecting wheel 40.
  • All three compressed air conduits 20, 26 and 27 are connected to a common compressed air hose 38.
  • a conducting or delivery bore 37a for the thread 30 discharges into the delivery channel 20 by means of the connecting piece 37 of the corresponding compressed air conduit 20.
  • An essential device in each apparatus is a thread cutting and control mechanism.
  • This mechanism comprises an upper, stationary knife disk 21 fixed to the plane lower face of the stationary body member 33, and a lower, rotating knife disk 23 similarly fixed to the plane top face of the rotating body member 25.
  • the plane lower face of the stationary knife disk 21 shown in FIG- URE 7 and the plane top face of the rotating knife disk 23 shown in FIG. 6 are surface ground to make a perfect contact with each other.
  • the stationary knife disk 21 can be formed integral with stationary body member 33 and rotating knife disk 23 integral with rotating body member 25.
  • This rotating body member 25 is composed of two shells 25a and 25b, each of which approximately possesses the form of a surface of revolution with quadrantal-shaped vertical center section (portion of a torus surface), and which leaves free between themselves two flat distributing channels 28 separated from one another.
  • Each of these distributing channels 28 narrows towards its lower external end 28a until reaching an opening (see FIGURE 4 and 5) at which there is connected at respective radially outwardly directed nozzle member 39.
  • the lower shell 25b of the rotating body member 25 is mounted above and bears against the deflecting roller or wheel 49 as well as being rotatably mounted upon the journal 41, with the deflecting wheel 40, in turn, bearing against a collar 44 of the journal 41.
  • a spring plate 95 connected with the rigid journal 41 and the upper side of the stationary body member 33 a pressure spring 96, such spring 96 downwardly pressing the stationary body member 33 relative to the deflecting wheel 40.
  • the stationary steel disk 21 (FIGURE 7) which is fixed to the stationary body member 33 of the cutting and control mechanism exhibits three holes or apertures 34, 35 and 36, the arrangement of which corresponds to that of the outlet or discharge of the compressed air channels 20, 26 and 27 in the lower face of the stationary body member 33.
  • the kidney-shaped hole or aperture 34 is bounded by a sharp cutting edge 22.

  • the respective cutting edges 24a cooperates with the aforesaid cutting edge 22 of the hole 34 of the stationary knife disk 21.
  • each of the deflecting wheels 40, 40' possess four arms for the receipt of a respective shuttle 42, 42. Since each second shuttle, that is each shuttle designated by reference numeral 42 is to be filled with a piece of thread during such time as it cooperates with the deflecting wheel 40, the rotating body member 25 carries above each second arm of the rotating wheel 40 a nozzle 39 arranged in such a manner that it discharges into the thread inlet opening 42a of the shuttle 42 which is momentarily seated upon such arm.
  • the heretofore described shuttle filling ap aratus onerates in the following manner:
  • - pressed air channel 20 of the stationary body member 33 and is further conveyed by means of the com ressed air flowing through the delivery line 38 and the compressed air conduit or line 20.
  • the thread 30 travels by means of the compressed air stream through this hole 34, this slot 24 and the corresponding distributing channel 28 of the rotating body member 25 towards the relevent outlet nozzle 39, and is then conveyed by means of the compressed air stream into the shuttle 42.
  • the shuttles 42 are constructed in accordance with the commonly assigned, copending United States application, Serial No.
  • the new starting portion of the thread 30 which is further continuously delivered by means of the channels 37a and 20 during and after the cut ing of the further thread piece 32 travelling towards the shuttle can be momentarily restrained in the region ofthe cooperating cutting edges 22 and 24a between the knife disks 21 and 23.
  • the further continuously delivered thread 30 then forms in the channel 28 a small loop 31 (FIGURE until its starting portion is released in consequence of further rotation of the knife disk 23 and the air current conveys such towards the second outlet nozzle 39.
  • a new shuttle 42 arrives in front of the second outlet nozzle 39 and the thread delivered through the latter is then deposited into this new shuttle.
  • the hole 36 of the stationary knife disk 23 provided for the aforesaid connection or communication could be arranged at a small distance behind the hole 34, that is at the outermost right quarter of the development view according to FIG- URE 8, and could be connected with the compressed air channel 20 by means of a groove provided in the frontal face of the stationary body member 33.
  • the compressed air channel 27 would be superfluous.
  • the aforementioned connection would then already be providecl immediately after the introduction of the beginning of the thread 30 into the outlet nozzle 39 and would remain open only a little bit longer after the cutting of this thread than necessary for conveying the end of the severed thread piece 32 through this nozzle 39.
  • a further supplementary or additional air current flows through the compressed air channel 26 and the hole or aperture 35 of the stationary knife disk 21, and indeed, through that slot 24 of the rotating knife disk 23 and that channel 28 of the rotating body member 25.

Moreover, the arrangement could be so constructed that not only every second shuttle, but rather every shuttle following one another comes into operable cooperation with one of the outlet nozzles 39 of this apparatus to which an individual thread is continuously delivered.
  • the compressed air channels 26 and 27 of the body member 33 and the corresponding holes 35 and 36 respectively, of the stationary knife disk 21 would be arranged approximately 60 and 120 respectively, instead of 90 and 180 respectively, in front of the channel 20 and the kidney-shaped hole 34 of the aforesaid stationary knife disk 21.
  • each of the slots 24 of the rotating knife disk 23 would extend through an are which is somewhat less than 120, rather than through an arc of approximately 180.

  • two compressed air channels 20 and 20' are provided in the stationary body member 60 into which these threads extend, two channels 27 and 27 for the delivery of compressed air for completing the conveyance of the cut-off thread pieces, and finally two channels 26 and 26' for the delivery of compressed air for the threading'operation for the beginning of the threads 30, further delivered after the cutting operation into the presently four provided outlet nozzles 39.
  • the four outlet nozzles 39 two which are arranged at 180 with respect to one another serve for delivering pieces 32 of the thread 30, the other two arranged 90 displaced with respect to these serve for the delivery of pieces of the other thread 30.

  • the channels 20, 26, 27 open at the flat underside of the stationary body member into an inner circle, the channels 20, 26' and 27 at an external or outer circle. Consequently, the holes or apertures 7 8 70, 72 and 79, 71, 73 respectively, of the stationary knife disk 67 providing a gliding surface means are also arranged at two difierent circles. However, at each of these circles the arrangement of these holes is similar to the holes 34, 35, 36 according to FIGURE 7 of the first described embodiment.
  • the kidneyshaped holes 78, 79 are bounded by cutting edges 68, 69, the threads 30 and 30 travelling through the aforesaid holes 78 and 79. respectively.
  • the rotating knife disk 66 exhibits two inner arcuate slots 87, 88 which cooperate with the holes 78, 70, 72 as well as two external arcuate slots 89, which cooperate with the holes 79, 71, 73.
  • These aforesaid arcuate slots are bounded at their rear ends by cutting edges 74, 75 and 76, 77 respectively cooperating with the stationary cutting edges 68 and 69 respectively, for cutting of the respective thread.
  • the eX- ternal arcuate slots 89, 90 are arranged 90 displaced with respect to the inner arcuate slots 87, 88, whereas the centers of the corresponding holes 78, 79 and 70, 71 and 72, 73 of the stationary knife disk 67, in each case, are disposed upon the same radial line. Consequently, there results that the same control operation alternatively has reference to an inner and an outer arcuate slot.
  • Each arcuate slot 87 to 90 is connected via a distributing channel 62 to 65 provided in the rotating body member 61 with one of the outlet nozzles 39.

  • Each of these slots 56 communicates with the corresponding nozzle 47 through a channel 48 in the rotating body on the hub of wheel 40.
  • This embodiment of inventive apparatus thus permits the shuttles of circular weaving looms to continually revolve, whereby upon passing through the angle on they are filled with a piece of thread, whereas for the remaining portion of their travel, however, this thread piece is already inserted into the fabric, so that at the beginning of the next revolution they are in preparedeness for the receipt of a new thread piece.
  • the portion of the path of travel of the carrier wheel 40 retained for the filling operation is the same for all of the shuttles.
  • a circular weaving loom there is not produced a hose or tube, rather a web of fabric, the width of which corresponds to the length of the remaining circumferential portion, and can be used as such without a cutting-open operation.
  • the thread pieces by means of which the shuttles be filled are always practically of the same length and their length is independent of the operational speed because the speed with which the thread is delivered is regulated to a value which is proportional to the rotational speed of the rotating knife disk. It is, however, possible by changing the delivery speed of the thread with respect to this rotational speed to change the length of the thread pieces, if such is required.
  • Method for supplying the shuttles of looms with Weft thread comprising continually supplying through a plurality of thread paths a single weft thread to be used in supplying shuttles, supplying a first shuttle with said weft thread along a first thread path, freeing a second thread path leading to a second shuttle during the travel of said thread in said first thread path, cutting said thread to supply a cut-to-length piece of weft thread to said shuttle, blocking said first thread path during said cutting operation and directing said thread along said second thread path.
