Definitions

  • a bobbin receptacle for carrying supply bobbins to positions adjacent winding stations of a multiple station textile machine.
  • a drive mechanism is provided for propelling the receptacle along the machine and a handle operates a clutch to couple the receptacle to the drive mechanism for movement in a forward direction or in a reverse direction, and when the handle is released, the clutch is so operated that the receptacle automatically advances to a waiting position at a selected end of the machine.
  • the present invention relates generally to textile machines and more specifically to an improved bobbin transporting mechanism for use with a textile machine.
  • Bobbin transporting mechanisms in the form of carts and the like which serve as carriers for packages to be donned on textile machines, or as receptacles for packages dotted from such machines, have always been important accessories for attendants or operators of textile winding machines. This is particularly so where so-called automatic winding machines are employed since efiicient means must be at hand continually to cope with the high productivity of such machines.
  • the invention disclosed herein represents a significant advance over the bobbin transporting mechanisms of the prior art by greatly reducing the necessary amount of exertion required by an operator in manipulating the bobbin cart during donning, doffing, and other operations, thereby contributing to increased efiiciency of said operator.
  • the bobbin transporting mechanism of the instant invention is constructed so as to require little in the way of maintenance, upkeep or instruction to the operator who is using it.
  • a handle adjacent one end of a bobbin receptacle or cart is movable by the operator and engagea-ble with mechanism to advance the cart from station to station of a winding machine.
  • the handle can be moved to a neutral position wherein the cart will remain at the desired location, neither advancing nor retreating.
  • the handle is movable to a third or reverse position. Upon release of the operators grip, resilient means and the force of gravity act together to drop the handle to its reverse position thereby engaging mechanism to return the cart to its starting point.
  • Another object of the present invention is the provision of a readily engageable handle adjacent one side of a bobbin transporting mechanism having a bobbin receptacle, the handle being operable to advance the receptacle, stop the receptacle, or cause the receptacle to return to its starting point.
