Definitions

  • a flyer structure for a textile spindle in which around the spindle shank there is provided an at least partially liquid fllled annular housing having rotatably arranged therein a blade wheel rotatable in response to a rotation of the flyer.
  • the delivery bobbins involved in such circumstances are usually doubled crosswound bobbins with which the unwinding point of the threads from the mantle surface continuously moves over the entire length of the bobbin back and forth. Since the withdrawing force from the outer mantle of the bobbin is directed at an incline upwardly and inwardly, it is necessary in order to avoid a friction between the thread and the upper outer edge of the delivery bobbin, to take steps by which the threads are unwound rst at an incline upwardly and outwardly and then are deviated approximately within the region of the upper end face of the delivery bobbin in a direction at an incline upwardly and inwardly toward the upper end of the hollow spindle shank.
  • drag wings or flyers are employed for the overhead unwinding of doubled crosswound bobbins on multiple twisting spindles.
  • These drag wings or flyers are freely rotatably journalled about the upper end of the respective hollow spindle shank and at their free end which extends above the upper end face edge of the delivery bobbin are provided with a thread guiding eye by means of which the threads during the unwinding process are pulled ilrst at an incline upwardly and outwardly and from the eye on are subjected to a pull in the direction at an incline upwardly and inwardly.
  • the heretofore known drag wings or flyers are somewhat braked during their rotation. This may be effected, for instance, by causing the lower end face of the hub of the drag wing or flyer to be seated on an annular braking surface. Inasmuch as, depending on the speed of the spindle and the type of thread to be processed, different braking forces are required, the material of the friction surface may have a coefllcient of friction which is adapted to the respective situation. A change in the braking force is also possible by loading the bearing hub by portable weights in axial direction.
  • Such brake lining is advantageous for braking the drag wing or flyer to a certain speed of rotation, but it is unsuitable for preventing a running ahead or trailing ofhthe drag wing or flyer. It will be appreciated that when the thread tension is increased and thus the ordinary speed of rotation of the drag wing or flyer is accelerated, a greater braking force is desired, whereas when the tension of the thread is reduced and thus the ordinary speed of rotation of the drag wing or flyer is decreased, it is desired to reduce the braking effect upon the drag wing or flyer to a minimum or possibly to zero.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates in section a drag wing or flyer according to the invention mounted on the bobbin carrier of a two-for-one twisting spindle, which drag wing or flyer has a bearing hub in the form of a blade wheel which immerses from above into an annular chamber.
  • FIG. 2 is a section through a modified drag wing or flyer on the bobbin carrier of a two-for-one twisting spindle in which the annular housing carried by the bobbin carrier is closed on all sides.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a section taken along the line IlI-III of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a section through a further embodiment of a drag wing or yer which is similar to that of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates in section the drag wing or flyer of FIG. 2 with an annular housing extending around said drag wing or tlyer and having its bottom displaceable in axial direction.
  • FIG. 6 shows a section through the drag wing or flyer of FIG. 2 but with the difference that the annular housing forms one piece with the bobbin carrier, the liquid receiving chamber of said annular housing being variable by displacement ofa piston received by the hollow shank.
  • FIGS. 6a and 6b respectively show cutouts from the hollow shank according to FIG. 4 with two embodiments of the piston displaceable in the hollow shank for varying the volume of the iiuid receiving chamber of the annular
  • the present invention is characterized primarily in that below the drag wing or ilyer there extends around the hollow spindle shank an annular housing which is at least partially filled with liquid and in which a blade wheel is rotatable about the inner Wall of the annular housing, said wheel rotating together with the drag wing or yer.
  • the drag wing or iiyer will in view of the only minor turbulence of the liquid caused by the blades of the blade wheel be subjected only to a minor braking effect.
  • the thread for instance, in view of an increase in the thread tension exerts a higher torque upon the drag wing or yer, the blades of the blade wheel will in view of the resistance encountered in the liquid and in view of the increased turbulence of the liquid prevent the drag wing or flyer from materially increasing its speed of rotation. Consequently, the drag wing or flyer will hardly be able to run ahead or trail when the torque action upon the drag wing or flyer drops.
  • the bearing hub of the drag wing or ilyer mayextend axially downwardly into the annular housing and may be rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the housing and may furthermore within said annular housing be provided with blades to form a blade wheel.
  • the bearing hub of the drag wing or tlyer immerses into the liquid-filled annular housing whereby a safe transmission onto the drag wing or flyer of the retarding force will be assured which acts upon the hub in view of the turbulence in the liquid caused by the blades of the blade wheel.
  • the bearing hub of the drag wing or yer When the bearing hub of the drag wing or yer itself immerses at least partially into the liquid- ⁇ illed annular housing, the latter must necessarily be designed open at the top to such an extent that a blade wheel can be inserted from the top.
  • the blade wheel may be freely rotatably mounted in the annular housing which is closed in a liquid-tight .manner on all sides. In this instance the blade wheel may be rotated by magnetic force by the drag wing or yer when the latter is rotated. With such an arrangement there will be no danger that liquid will during the course of the twisting process be splashed toward the outside so that lint could get mixed in with the liquid.
  • the magnitude of the torque exerted by the drag wing or flyer upon the thread may be realized by varying the viscosity of the liquid, for instance, by using water, oil, or glycerine, or the like.
  • the angle of attack of the blades may be variable in conformity with the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a hollow shank 1 pertaining to a delivery bobbin carrier not shown in the drawings.
  • the conically upwardly tapering delivery bobbin sleeve 3 of the delivery bobbin generally designated 4 is supported by the bobbin carrier ⁇ by means of a rubber ring 2 located in an annular groove 1a of semicircular cross-section.
  • Centrally arranged in the ⁇ hollow shank 1 is a spindle pipe 5 over the upper edge of which the thread 6 withdrawn from the delivery bobbin 4 in upward direction is deviated downwardly and is passed through the spindle pipe 5 and the hollow shank 1.
  • the bearing hub generally designated 7 of the drag wing or iiyer 8 which, in conformity with the embodiment of FIG. l, is upwardly pivotable about the pivot 9 while otherwise being rigidly held on the bearing hub 7.
  • the free end of the drag wing or flyer 8 is provided with a thread guiding eye 10.
  • the bearing hub 7 of the drag wing or flyer 8 extends axially downwardly into the annular housing 1l which is open at the top and which is non-rotatably supported by the end face 12 of the hollow shank 1 by means of the pin 13 which is eccentrically located at the bottom of the annular housing 11 and engages a bore of the hollow shank 1.
  • the bearing hub 7 is supported radially on the inner Wall and axially on the bottom of the annular housing 11 and extends by means of the annular shoulder 14 over the annular housing 11 while closing said annular housing with the exception of a narrow air gap.
  • That portion of the bearing hub 7 which extends axially into the annular housing 11 is for purposes of forming a blade Wheel provided with circumferentially distributed blades 15 which along their entire length are immersed into the liquid in the annular housing 11.
  • the drag wing or flyer 8 When the thread 6 which is passed through the eye 10 of the drag wing or yer 8 is being Withdrawn from the delivery bobbin 4, the drag wing or flyer 8 is rotated about the spindle pipe 5. The blades 15 of the blade wheel 'will thus bring about a rotation of the liquid in the annular housing 11. The drag wing or flyer 8 will then substantially in an unimpeded manner rotate freely about the spindle pipe 5.
  • the liquid rotated by the blades 15 may have a lower or higher viscosity depending on which braking moment is intended to be continuously exerted upon the drag wing.
  • various liquids may be employed, as for instance, water, oil, glycerine, or the like.
  • the torque exerted upon the thread 6 by the liquid in the annular housing 11 through the intervention of the bearing hub 7 may be varied by a change in the viscosity of the liquid or by lchanging the angle of attack of the blades 15.
  • t-he axially directed ends of the blades 15 are provided fwith bearing bolts 16 which are located in the end faces 14 and 17 of the bearing hub 7.
  • the angle of attack of the blades 15 may be adjusted by a wrench by means of which the square heads of the bearing bolts 16 may be turned.
  • FIGS. 2 to 6 differ from the embodiment of FIG. 1 in that the annular housing 11 is closed at the top by an annular cover 18 in a liquidtight manner on all sides.
  • the housing 11 is by means of a pin 13 eccentrically located on the bottom of the housing 11 non-rotatably mounted upon the hollow shank 1 of the delivery bobbin carrier.
  • the annular housing 11 is formed by the hollow shank itself of the bobbin carrier and is closed at its top side by an annular cover 18.
  • a blade wheel 19 is freely rotatably journalled for rotation about the respective inner wall of the annular housing.
  • the blade wheel 19 has four blades 15 which similar to the embodiment of FIG. l are adapted to produce turbulence in the liquid in the annular housing 11 when the drag wing or flyer 8 rotates.
  • the blade wheel 19 according to FIGS. 2 to 6 is rotated by magnetic force through the intervention of the bearing hub 7 of the drag wing or flyer 8 when the latter rotates.
  • the bearing hub 7 of FIGS. 2, 5 and 6 is provided with an annular collar 20 which extends outwardly partially over the annuar housing 11 and is provided with radially inwardly directed bar magnets 21 and 22 arranged at the same level.
  • These bar magnets 21 and 22 have associated therewith magnetic bodies 24 and 25 which are of opposite polarity and are mounted on two blades 23 of the blade wheel 19.
  • the bearing hub 7 similar to the embodiment of FIG. 2, axially rests upon the cover 18 of the annular housing 11 while radially resting against the spindle pipe 5.
  • axially directed bar magnets 26 and 27 distributed about the spindle pipe 5 are arranged in the bearing hub 7 of the drag wing or yer 8.
  • These bar magnets 26 and 27 have associated therewith bar magnets 29 and 30 of opposite polarity which are located axially opposite said bar magnets 26 and 27 on the blades of the blade wheel 28. Consequently, the dragging of the blade wheel 28 will be effected by the bearing hub 7 of the drag wing or ilyer 8 by magnetic force in the same manner as described in connection with the embodiments of FIGS. 2, 5 and 6.
  • the torque exerted by the liquid through the intervention of the blade wheel upon the drag wing or yer may be adapted to the respective circumstances. This may be effected by varying the viscosity of the liquid or by varying the angle of attack of the blades 15 or by varying the volume of the liquid receiving chamber of the annular housing 11.
  • the liquid receiving chamber of the annular housing 11 may be varied, for instance, by axially displacing a portion of the bottom of the annular housing 11 with regard to the blade wheel 19 so that the depth of immersion of the blades into the liquid and thus the torque acting upon the drag wing or yer will be varied. Such an arrangement is illustrated in the two embodiments of FIGS. 5 and 6 respectively.
  • the annular housing outer wall is extended downwardly by the lower ends of the blade wheel 19 which rests upon a shoulder on the hollow shank 1.
  • the annular outer wall by means of its lower portion extends around the ring 31 which is centrally screwed onto the hollow shank 1.
  • Ring 31 is over a certain length y43 provided with an outer thread.
  • the upper end face of the ring 31 which extends around the hollow spindle shank forms a portion of the annular bottom surface of the annular housing 11.
  • An annular seal 32 is fastened to the end face of ring 31 and seals with regard to the annular outer wall as well as with regard to the wall of the hollow shank 1 in a liquid-tight manner.
  • the liquid receiving chamber of housing 11 will vary its volume when the ring 31 is turned on the hollow shank 1. If the ring 31 is screwed downwardly, the liquid level in the housing 11 drops so that the blade wheel 19 which rotates as before at the same level about the hollow spindle shank will have its blades 15 immersed into the liquid to a lesser degree and will thus be less effective.
  • a bore is provided in the upper end face of the annular housing.
  • FIGS. 6a and 6b illustrate two further adjusting possibilities for the piston 33 in the hollow shank 1.
  • a thread-shaped groove 37 is provided in the piston 33 the circumferential surface of which is knurled in longitudinal direction.
  • a pin 38 screwed into the hollow shaft 1 extends into groove 37.
  • the lower end of the piston 35 rests by means of a spring 40 on the bottom of the cylinder in a resilient manner, whereas the arresting device forms a bayonet joint.
