Definitions

  • the bobbin seater and spacer attachment is adapted to be positioned at the base or acorn of the spindle and comprises means for positioning the bobbin upwardly from the base of the spindle for a loose fitting association therewith for ease in doffing and means for magnetically seating the bobbin to prevent longitudinal and vertical movement thereof with respect to the spindle during rotation thereof and to aid in driving the bobbin through rotation of the spindle.
  • This invention relates to a bobbin seater and spacer attachment for use in a yarn processing machine, such as a spinning frame or the like, for positioning a bobbin upwardly from the base of a spindle for a loose fitting association therewith for ease in dofiing and for magnetically seating the bobbin to prevent longitudinal and vertical movement thereof with respect to the spindle during rotation thereof and to aid in driving the bobbin through rotation of the spindle.
  • rotatable spindle assemblies each having a driven, elongate, tapered, vertically extending, generally cylindrical spindle including an integral whorl on the lower portion thereof and a hollow, tapered, open-ended, generally cylindrical bobbin with a steel ferrule at the bottom received on and driven by the spindle. Due to the tapered nature of the spindle and the tapered bore in the bobbin, it is customary to place the bobbin on the spindle in such a manner that a forced friction fit is formed at the upper end of the spindle between the outer surface of the spindle and the interior surface of the bore of the hollow bobbin. Due to this friction fit, the bobbin rotates with the spindle during rotation of the spindle for receiving a yarn being processed on the spinning frame or the like.
  • this object may be accomplished by providing a bobbin seater and spacer attachment adapted to be positioned at the base or acorn of the spindle and comprising means for positioning the bobbin upwardly from the base of the spindle and means for magnetically seating the bobbin on the spindle.
  • This bobbin seater and spacer attachment may be used with either of the above-described types of bobbins. If used with the more conventional friction fitting bobbin, it
  • this attachment will provide the dual function of both spacing this bobbin ing the bobbin through rotation of the spindle. Ifused with the less conventional non-friction fitting bobbin having a laterally extending seat near the upper end of the internal bore, this attachment will overcome the problems of longitudinal upward movement of the bobbin during rotation and aid in driving the bobbin through rotation of the spindle by magnetically seating the bobbin on the spindle.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational view, parts of which are broken away, of a spindle and bobbin assembly as used in a conventional yarn processing machine with the seater and spacer attachment of this invention thereon;
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view, broken away
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view, broken away
  • FIG. 1 a conventional spindle assembly, generally indicated by the reference numeral 10, for a textile yarn 3 processing machine, such as a spinning frame or the like.
  • This spindle assembly comprises a driven, rotatable, elongate, tapered, generally cylindrical spindle 11, a whorl 12 integrally fixed to the lower end or base portion of the spindle 11, and a bolster assembly 13 rotatably carrying the spindle 11 and whorl 12 in a conventional manner.
  • a hollow, tapered, open-ended, generally cylindrical bobbin 20 adapted to be received on and driven by the spindle 11.
  • This bobbin 20 conventionally includes a lower metallic ferrule 21 on the bottom thereof.
  • the bobbin In the normal operation of this spindle and bobbin assembly in a textile yarn processing machine, the bobbin is rotated and driven by the spindle for receiving yarn being spun or otherwise processed.
  • the abovedescribed spindle and bobbin assembly is provided with a bobbin seater and spacer attachment, generally indicated by the reference numeral 30.
  • This attachment 30 is adapted to be positioned at the base or acorn of the spindle 11 adjacent the whorl 12, as shown in FIG. 1, for positioning the bobbin 20 upwardly from the whorl 12 of the spindle 11 for a non-friction fitting association with the spindle 11 for ease in dofiing and for magnetically seating the bobbin 20 to prevent longitudinal movement thereof with respect to the spindle during rotation thereof and to aid in driving the bobbin through rotation of the spindle.
  • the bobbin seater and spacer attachment 30 comprises an open-ended, hollow ring 31 having an internal bore 32 of desired dimensions to provide a friction fit between the ring 31 and the base of the spindle so that the ring 31 will be driven by and rotate with the spindle 11.
  • the ring 31 also has a sufficient width from the top surface to the bottom surface and sufficient thickness from the inside surface to the outside surface, as viewed in FIGS.
  • This spacing between the outside surface of the spindle 11 and the inside bore surface of the bobbin 20 should be just enough to prevent a forced friction fit, but be small enough to allow the outside surface of the spindle to engage the inside surface of the bobbin during rotation of the spindle, which usually is slightly off-center due to normal vibrations, to enable the bobbin to rotate with and be driven by the spindle.
  • the bobbin seater and spacer attachment 30 also includes a depression, indicated at 33, on the upper surface thereof of sufficient size to receive the lower metallic end or ferrule 21 of the bobbin 20, as indicated in FIG. 1.
  • a depression 33 in the ring 31 Spaced along the upper surface of the depression 33 in the ring 31 is one or more permanent magnets 34 adapted to engage and magnetically hold the bobbin 20 through magnetic attraction between the permanent magnets 34 and the metallic ferrule 21 for seating the bobbin 20 on the spindle 11 to prevent upward longitudinal movement of the bobbin 20 during rotation thereof with the spindle 11 and to aid in driving the bobbin 20 with the spindle 11.
  • the ring 31 may be constructed of any suitable material, such as plastic, metal, etc.
  • the permanent magnets 34 may be any conventional type having sufficient magnetic strength to seat the bobbin 20 and prevent upward longitudinal movement thereof during rotation on the spindle and to aid in driving or rotating the bobbin 20 with the spindle 11, but allowing a relatively easy disengagement between the metallic ferrule 21 and the magnets 34 during automatic doffing of the bobbin.
  • a bobbin positioned on said spindle in non-friction fitting association therewith for ease in dofling and being in sufficiently close fitting association therewith to be driven by said spindle through engagement between said spindle and said bobbin caused by vibrations of said spindle during rotation;
  • a bobbin seater and spacer attachment for use in a textile yarn processing machine, such as a spinning frame or the like, having a rotatable spindle and a hollow bobbin received on and driven by the spindle; said bobbin seater and spacer attachment having magnetic means for magnetically seating the bobbin and adapted to be positioned at one portion of the spindle and comprising an open-ended, hollow ring means adapted to frictionally fit around the one end of the spindle to rotate therewith and having suflicient width and thickness to space the bobbin from the one end of the spindle a suflicient distance to prevent a forced friction engagement between the bobbin and the spindle at the other end of the spindle.
  • a bobbin seater and spacer attachment as set forth in claim 2, in which said bobbin includes a metallic end and said magnetic means comprises at least one permanent magnet on one surface of said ring for magnetically holding the metallic end of the bobbin for nonfriction seating of the bobbin on the spindle.
  • a driven, rotatable, elongate, tapered, generally cylindrical spindle including an integral whorl on one end thereof;
  • a bobbin seater and spacer attachment secured to the end of said spindle adjacent said whorl and comprising an open-ended, hollow ring means for frictionally fitting around the end of said spindle adjacent said whorl to rotate therewith and having suflicient width and thickness to space said bobbin upwardly from the base of said spindle by a sufficient distance to prevent a forced friction engagement between said bobbin and said spindle at the other end of said spindle;
  • said bobbin includes a metallic ferrule on one end thereof and in which said attachment further comprises at least one permanent magnet on one surface of said ring means for magnetically holding said bobbin through magnetic attraction with said metallic ferrule for non-friction seat- 2,561,155 ing of said bobbin on said spindle.
