Definitions

  • a device for storing a length of weft thread and introducing it into a shed comprising a shaft adapted to take up by suction a measured length of thread in the form of a loop, having a valve-controlled opening at one end and a channel forming an extension of the other end of the shaft; a blowing nozzle associated with the outer end of the channel and arranged to blow air outward adjacent such end of the channel so as to draw secondary air outward through the channel and to draw the free end of a thread through the channel and blow it into the shed, the shaft also having a separate lateral aperture between the channel and the valve-controlled opening through which a thread may be drawn into the shaft in the form of a loop by suction applied at the valvecontrolled opening, and through which a freed end of such loop subsequently may be drawn into the channel by operation of the blowing nozzle.
  • This invention relates to a device for storing a weft to be inserted into a shed, which device is to be used in connection with a loom, said device being provided with a shaft adapted to take up by suction action a measured length of a thread in the shape of a loop, which thread is drawn from a thread package.
  • One end of said shaft is provided with a suction opening to be closed by a valve.
  • the opposite end of said shaft cooperates with a blowing device for introducing the length of the thread as weft from the shaft into the shed.
  • this cleft is provided with widened parts at each side, which widened parts are adapted as a mixing-tube and to receive the blowing nozzles.
  • two blowing devices are thus arranged, which blowing devices will be alternately operative.
  • the object of the invention is to improve such a device for taking up a loop in a thread by suction action and to blow this thread from the shaft in which it was temporarily stored into the shed of a loom.
  • the shaft is provided with a separate opening for sucking in the thread, which opening is positioned between the blowing device and the suction opening which is to be closed by a valve.
  • shaft can be rigidly fastened and need not be moved to take up' a further part of the thread as described in United States Patent 3,137,322.
  • the shaft can now be provided with only one blowing nozzle.
  • a further improvement of the device is attained in that a thread presenting device is situated in front of the entry part of the shaft, which presenting device cooperates with a thread clamp and a movable part of a cutting device which is provided with a second thread clamp, which movable part during its cutting movement intersects the path of the thread between first said thread clamp and the entrance opening of the shaft in such a way that said movable part takes up a part of the thread for its cutting operation and simultaneously clamps that end of the thread which runs in front of that presenting device.
  • the stream of air through said entrance to the shaft is at right angles to the direction of the mainstream of air within the shaft.
