Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to spinning and twisting and more specifically to an improved traveler cleaner to assist in removing lint from a traveler as it accumulates thereon.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the cleaner construction according to the invention and the ring and traveler associated therewith;
  • FIG. 1 is a view taken along the lines 2-2 of FIG. 1 with the traveler being slightly repositioned in the interest of clarity;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view of the cleaner according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a top view of FIG. 3.
  • the numeral generally denotes the invention wherein the ring rail 12 of the spinning frame has mounted therein a ring holder 14 which in turn carries the usual spinning ring having a vertical annular web 16 and a horizontal upper flange 18 having the usual traveler 20 mounted freely to rotate thereon.
  • the novel traveler cleaner 22 is formed of relatively rigid sheet material and includes a horizontal supporting base 24 having an elongated opening 26 therethrough.
  • a suitable fastener 28 extending through the opening retains the cleaner in its fixed position with respect to the ring and traveler. For best results, it is desirable that the cleaner be positioned as closely as possible to the traveler without contacting the same.
  • the blade of the cleaner is comprised of a first portion 3,400,529 Patented Sept. 10, 1968 ice 30 extending upwardly from the base and a second portion 32 extending outwardly in a substantially horizontal direction terminating in a sharp cutting edge 34 which is sloped at a small angle from the vertical in order to assist in cutting the lint from the traveler as it moves in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1.
  • the horizontally extending blade portion 32 is formed in an arcuate configuration so as-to conform substantially to the curvature of the ring that is associated therewith. Obviously, as the diameter of the ring varies, a corresponding variation will be made in the arcuate configuration of the blade.
  • the cleaner be mounted and retained in concentric relation to the ring, preferably the outer diameter of the upper flange 18, as by use of a suitable guage or spacer that may be positioned between the cleaner and the ring.
  • a traveler of different size it is a relatively simple operation to reposition the cleaner to the desired gauge setting by merely loosening the fastener 28 and sliding the cleaner along the elongated opening 26.
  • the concentric arrangement of the cleaner with the ring assists in confining the air normally displaced by the traveler to each side during its flight and due to such confinement, the air tends to force out the short lint remaining inside the traveler and maintain the same in a clean condition.
  • a traveler cleaner for use with a ring-mounted traveler including:
  • a blade having a free end provided with and means for retaining said blade in a predetermined fixed position adjacent the path of traveler movement;
  • said blade being formed in an are substantially conforming to the curvature of the path of traveler movement and in said predetermined position being substantially concentric therewith, whereby said cleaner exerts a cleaning action throughout the full length of said blade.
  • a traveler cleaner comprising: a base portion adapted to be mounted adjacent the path of movement of a ring-mounted traveler; and a second portion carried by said base portion and having an elongate arcuate surface adapted to extend in adjacent, radially-spaced, generally-concentric and parallel relation to the path of traveler movement. 6.
