Definitions

  • the skein-holder derived from the latter mainly consists of the following parts and devices, viz: a shaft with disc, which can be rotated by hand, several bearing cylinders which can rotate about their respective center lines and arranged about the periphery of said disc, whereby the centerlines of all discs are parallel to that of said shaft; in each one of said cylinders, an arm fitted parallel to and protruding from the centerline of the cylinder; a crank mounted onto one of said cylinders; a transmission device provided between all bearing cylinders in order to ensure their synchronous operation, and a driving device operating in such way together with said crank that all bearing cylinders bring simultaneously, by rotation, all arms either in stretched or retracted position.
  • the tension applied to the skein from the beginning to the end of the unwinding operation can be kept very accurately constant by adjusting the pneu- 3,408,022 Patented Oct. 29, 1968 matic or such like cylinder, and thisindependently of the diameter of the skein.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side-view with partial cross-section of a skein-holder conforming to the present invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a front view which illustrates the skeinholder as seen in the direction of the arrow II of FIG. 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is a cross-section by a plane of which the trace follows the straight line III-III of FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 4 shows the same front view as that which is represented by FIGURE 2, with this difference that the arms of the skein-holder are shown in the retracted position.
  • hOllSillg 1 contains a shaft 2 carrying a disc 3. The latter is fitted along its periphery with several recesses 4 placed at equal distances of each other. In each one of these recesses there is a bearing cylinder 5 capable of rotating about its centerline and ending in a shaft 6. In front, each bearing cylinder has an opening 7 in which is fastened an arm 8 bent at right angles. Onto each shaft 6 of each bearing cylinder 5, a sprocket wheel 9 is fastened. A common chain 10 runs over all these sprocket wheels. On the axis of one of the bearing cylinders 5 there is a crank 11 of which the free end is coupled to the piston rod 12 of a pneumatic cylinder 13. This pneumatic cylinder is hinged to disc 3 by means of a pivot 14.
  • the discs 5, together with the arms 8 which are mounted thereon, are now rotated by hand until all the fixing threads have passed in front of the operator whose duty it is to cut them through and remove them.
  • the thread B is then passed over the head of the skein and through the guiding eyelet C toward a winding machine or unit, known as such and not represented.
  • the distance between said eyelet and the skein-holder is adjustable according to the size of the latter and the speed with which it will be unwound.
  • the thread is unwound from the fixed arms 8 over the head of the skein as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1.
  • the loop D which the thread forms during the unwinding process can, if required, be limited by some ring or other (nonrepresented), in the well known way.
  • a skein-holder for unwinding skeins of thread comprising a rotatable shaft having a disc thereon in fixed relation thereto, a plurality of bearing cylinders each rotatably mounted in spaced relation upon the disc substantially adjacent the periphery of the disc, the bearing cylinders each having a longitudinal centerline and being rotatable thereabout, the centerline of each bearing cylinder being parallel to the rotatable shaft, an elongated arm attached to each bearing cylinder to extend in a generally radial direction therefrom and having a free portion extending outwardly therefrom parallel to the centerline of the bearing cylinder, the free portion of the arm being offset from the, centerline of each respective cylinder, driving chain means interconnecting all bearing cylinders to provide concurrent rotation of all of said bearing cylinders at predetermined times, crank means and actuating means connected to one of the bearing cylinders to provide a rotative force to said one bearing cylinder wherein when the actuating means is operated the crank means causes each bearing cylinder to
  • each arm comprises a cylindrical rod bent at right angles to form the free portion and to form a fixed portion, the fixed portion being substantially perpendicular to the centerline of the bearing cylinder;
  • a skein-holder according to claim 1 wherein the actuating means comprises a pneumatic cylinder operatively connected to the crank means.
  • a skein-holder according to claim 1 wherein the driving chain is connected to each bearing cylinder-by a sprocket wheelattached to a shaft extending from one end of each bearing cylinder.
  • each of said sprockets and each of said arms are located on opposite sides of said disc.
  • each of said arms is mounted in a generally radially extending aperture in each of said bearing cylinders.
