Definitions

  • This invention relates to a planetary coiler head and, more particularly, to a coiler head adapted to package textile sliver in a stationary receptacle positioned therebeneath by depositing the sliver in a plurality of successive convolutions compacted into the receptacle.
  • Planetary coilers have heretofore been known to avoid certain difficulties which have been introduced by larger diameter cans, particularly as planetary coilers do not require can tables. However, such coilers have not heretofore obtained wide acceptance due to their high cost and other deficiencies.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a coiler head as described above wherein first and second members are mounted for rotation about respective first and second axes, with planar lower surfaces thereof aligned,
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a textile sliver coiler including the planetary coiler head of this invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the coiler head of FIGURE 1, partially broken away;

  • first and second members In order to drive the first and second members in co ordinated rotation about the first and second axes respectively, and to translate the sliver passage opening 19 along the predetermined convoluted path of travel, means are provided for engaging the members and connecting the same to a rotative motive means. More particularly, the first member 18 includes an externally toothed surface 6%), located above the first trackway means 21. This externally toothed surface 60 is engaged by an internally toothed surface 61 of a ring gear member 62 (FIGURES 2, 3, and 6) for driving the first member 18 in rotation about the first axis. Third support means are provided for mounting the ring gear member 62 on the second member 20 for rotation relative to the second member and about the second axis.

  • a peripherally grooved member is fitted onto the outer race 95 of the antifriction bearing, in the form of roller 65, and the peripheral groove thereof is preferably coated with a low-friction plastic material, in order to provide a low friction treatment for one of the rotatively engaging surfaces of the head portion 64 and the roller 65.
  • the first and second supporting means rollers, 25 and 55 respectively, are similarly mounted on the second member through the use of threaded studs similar to the standards 91.
  • the height of the standards employed in mounting the first and second support means rollers and 55 is determined by the spacing of the respective trackway means above the second member 20.
  • all of the rollers 25, 55, and 65 are provided with a low friction material coating as described above.
