Definitions

  • the traveller shown in the drawings is formed as an integral plastic moulding from a wear-resisting plastic such as nylon.
  • a wear-resisting plastic such as nylon.
  • the nylon is reinforced by glass fibres as described above.
  • the traveller has a main body portion 1 having a lower curved portion 2 for encircling the bottom of a spinning ring 3 as seen in FIGURES 3 and 4.
  • the main portion 1 is formed with a bearing surface 4 which engages the inner surface of the ring 3.
  • the upper portion of the traveller defines a rounded loop 5 which lies above a bearing surface 6 for engaging the top of the ring 3 as seen in FIGURES 3 and 4.
  • a toe portion 7 extends down- 3 wardly for engaging the outer surface of the ring 3.
  • the loop opens downwardly towards the bearing surface 6 so that, in the position of FIGURE 4, yarn shown as 11 may be passed through the space between the toe 7 and the ring 3.
  • the loop 5 has a diameter somewhat greater than a quarter of the depth of the ring 3. This depth is substantially equal to the distance between the lower portion 2 of the traveller and the bearing surface 6 so that the diameter of the loop 5 is specifically related to the vertical dimension of the traveller as a whole.
  • This size of loop is considerably greater than with previous constructions of traveller and is made possible, as previously described, by the fact that substantially all the loop lies above the bearing surface 6 and consequently it is not governed by the available space between the inner surface of the ring 3 and the package 12 which is being built up on the bobbin.
  • FIGURES 3 and 4 show details of the construction of the ring 3 which is of a known type and is shown mounted within a supporting plate 14.
  • the yarn 11 passes downwardly, passes around the loop 5 and then on to the bobbin 12.
  • the large diameter of the loop 5 allows any enlargements or lumps on the yarn 11 to pass without difliculty.
  • FIGURE 3 shows the formation of a small collar 15 around the upper part of the loop 5 which, as can be seen, tends to impede the passage of the yarn 11 round the loop. It is important, therefore, that this collar 15 should be capable of removal without difficulty.
  • the left hand side of the loop 5 as seen in FIGURES l, 3 and 4 is tapered as shown at 16 in FIG- URE 2.
