Definitions

  • This invention relates to a centering element for yarn-supporting body members and more particularly to a centering element, at least a portion of which is free of any deformation of the yarn-supporting body member on which such an element is provided.
  • the yarn prior to being wound up onto the supporting body member, is subjected to stretching: after stretching, all the yarns, and particularly those of a synthetic nature, will tend to shrink, i.e., to'become shorter. Additionally, the yarns are wound up onto the supporting body members witha winding-up tension which is dependent on the yarn nature and the particular spinning machine being used, said winding-up tensioncausing a yarn pressure on the supporting body member which shall withstand sucha pressure.
  • winding-up tension which is due to yarn shrinkage, particularly where a synthetic yarn is involved, which shrinkage. as above disclosed, is a result of the stretching action exerted on the yarn. It was found that evenifa synthetic yarn is wound up onto a supporting body member by a rather inexistent windingup tension, the tension of the yarn as wound up on the supporting body member can cause a pressurethereon which might reach as high rates as 200 atmospheres.
  • the walls for the supporting body members and the respective centering elements are usually made of rigid and resistant material, mostly of steel and sometimes of bakelized paper.
  • the resisting wall of the supporting body member and the respective centering element on the spindle are rigidly interconnected and a deformation of the wall would tend to influence the centering element, resulting in that the supporting body member can no more, or very hardly be slipped off of the spindle on which it was mounted for yarn winding-up.
  • a centering ele- 'ment for yarn-supporting body members which is characterized by comprising a first portion securable to or however fast with the inner surface of a yarn-supporting body member, and at least a second portion suitable to abut a spindle for driving said supporting body member, the two portions being interconnected by at least one flexible arm integral to said be illustrated by mere way of example and not of limitation,
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a fragmentary diagrammatic axial section view and a cross section according to line II-II of FIG. 1, respectively, for a supporting body member provided with an embodiment of the centering element;
  • FIGS. 3, 5 and 6 are axial sectional views showing some portions of supporting body members provided with different embodiments of the centering element; 7

  • FIG. 7 is a cross section taken on line VII-VII of the supporting body member in FIG. 6;
  • FIG. 8 is a fragmentary axial section of a supporting body member provided with a further embodiment of the centering element
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 are axial sectional views showing the top ends of two supporting body members provided with two different embodiments for the centering element.
  • FIGS. 11, I2, 13 and 14 are fragmentary, diagrammatic axial sections for supporting body members other than those shown in the preceding FIGS.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 it will be seen that there is shown a supporting body member I of a cylindrical tubular shape, on which a yarn winding 2 is received, said body member I being slipped onto a spindle 3 of a spinning machine; at the bottom of spindle 3 there are provided teeth a engaging in notches at the lower end of body member I.
  • annular member 5 projects from the inner wall ofthe supporting body member.
  • a flexible arm axially extending therefrom and comprising a tubular wall 6 having at its free end an enlargement 7 defining an annular bore in which the upper end of spindle 3 is accommodated
  • FIG. 1 it will be clearly seen that should the wall of the supporting body member I radially deform during yarn winding-up. this deformation would influence said annular member 5. without being transferred to enlargement 7 as taken up by deflection by the tubular wall 6. so that said supporting body member can be readily slipped off of spindle 3 even though on supporting body member being empty the clearances between the inner surface of enlargement 7 and outer surface of spindle 3 were substantially reduced to nonexistence.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 there are shown a fragmentary axial section and a cross section. respectively.
  • a supporting body member comprising a tubular wall 8 of an increasing thickness from the ends to the median zone thereof. internally of which longitudinal finnings 9 project parallel to the axis of the tubular wall and radially extending from said wall;
  • a centering element is fast with the supporting body member and comprises an annular member 10, from which a flexible arm projects as comprised of a tubular wall 11 extending in an axial direction and at its upper end 12 being inwardly bent so as to adhere against the outer surface of spindle 3.
  • FIG. 5 The embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is similar to that of FIG. 3. except that the centering element is comprised of an annular member 13 having a cylindrical external surface. from which an axial tubular wall 14 extends and has its top end inwardly bent similarly to the disclosure in connection with FIG. 3.
  • the centering element of FIG. 5 is not integral to the supporting body member which comprises an external wall 15 having longitudinal finnings and a ring 16 on which said annular member 13 is forced and held at a steady position.
  • the centering element shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is substantially the same as that of FIGS. 1 and 2 and the supporting body member of which it forms a part differs from that of FIGS. 1 and 2 by comprising a wall 17 internally of which spirallike finnings project, such as at 18.

From the internal surface of wall 41 there projects a centering element. a first portion 42 of which is secured to wall 41 and a second portion 43 of which abuts spindle 3. Portions 42 and 43 of the centering element are interconnected by a continuous flexible arm 45 integral to said portions and substantially suitable to substantially release portion 43 from radial deformations of portion 42.
  • a ring 46 is secured at the bottom and internally of said tubular wall 41. such a ring 46 having notches in which the teeth 4 at the base of spindle 3 are accommodated.
  • the supporting body member of FIG. 12 comprises a tubular wall of a composite structure as being formed of two separate tubular wall members, designated by reference numerals 49 and 50, respectively. overlapping on each other. Adjacent the bottom end of wall member-50 notches are provided for accommodating teeth 4 of spindle 3. whereas adjacent the top end of said wall member 50 the centering element is provided, a portion 51 of which abuts said spindle 3 and is connected through a continuous arm 52 to wall member 50 forming that portion of the centering element which is secured to the tubular wall of the supporting body member.
  • the nature of the plastic material being utilized for the supporting body element and thickness of wall members 49 and 50 are such as to enable said wall members to contract under the pressure being exerted thereon by the wound up yarn, and such is the centering element that its portion 51 is released of the radial deformations in wall members 49 and 50.
  • a supporting body member having a tubular wall ofa composite structure as that shown in FIG. 12 exhibits a higher resistance than that of a supporting body member having an even tubular wall, the material and wall thickness being the same.
  • the supporting body member is substantially similar to that of FIG. 12 and also comprises a composite tubular wall formed of a tubular wall member 44 and a tubular member 53 internal thereto. the centering element being fast therewith.
  • the supporting body member of FIG. 13 differs from that of FIG. .12 only in that the tubular wall member 53 extends above the centering element.
  • FIG. 14 an axial sectional view is shown of a portion for a supporting body member substantially similar to that of FIG. 11 and comprising a tubular wall 54, the latter being fast with a centering element, a portion 55 of which abuts spindle 3 and is connected through a flexible arm 56 to a portion 57 of said centering element, said portion 57 being secured to the internal surface of tubular wall 54.
  • the centering element can be made integral to the supporting body member, or can be provided independently of the supporting body member, on which it can be mounted after said supporting body member is obtained.
  • the supporting body member can be of any shape known in theart, and can be made as well of different materials already utilized in the art, such as plastic material. metal, cardboard or the like.
  • the use of the springed centering element will enable the provision of a supporting body member with a substantially lower amount of material with respect to the requirements for the provision of supporting body members of the prior art. thus allowing to obtain supporting body'members of a somewhat reduced weight and hence of a lower cost over that of equal supporting body members, the lower weight also affording said supporting body members to be rotated on the spindles at a substantially higher speed than in the prior art.
  • the yarn support has the outer tubular wall which directly carries the yarn and which can be deformed thereby.
  • This outer tubular wall of the yarn support surrounds the centering means which has the inner portion, such as the portion 7 of FIG. 1 or the portion 55 of FIG. I4, directly surrounding and located in close proximity to the spindle 3 with the inner surface of this inner portion having in cross section a configuration matching the cross section of the spindle.
  • the centering means also has the outer portion located directly next to the tubular wall of the yarn support, and of course there is the intermediate annular portion which interconnects the outer and inner portions of the centering means.
  • the inner portion of the centering means is of a material which has the same properties as the remainder of the centering means, this remainder of the centering means including the intermediate portion which is flexible, nevertheless the flexibility of the intermediate portion of the centering means is such that it will insuiate the inner portion from the deforming forces preventing any jamming or cramping of the inner portion on the spindle with the deformation being taken up by the flexibility of the intermediate portion of the centering means, so that in this way with an inner portionof the centering means of the same material as the remainder of the centering means the deformation forces will never reach the inner portion of the centering means to deform the latter for tightly clamping the spindle.
  • a further feature of the structure of the invention resides in the fact that the inner part of the centering means which directly surrounds the spindle is of a relatively short length as compared to theintermediate part of the centering means which extends from this inner part to the outer part which is connected to the tubular wall which carries the yarn.
  • the tubular part 6 is of a length considerably greater than the part 7, and of course in FIG. 14 the part 55 has an elongated tubular portion extending therefrom, and having a somewhat greater inner diameter surrounding the spindle 3 while being considerably longer than the portion 55. Even with embodiments such as those shown in FIGS. 10-43 this relationship applies.
  • FIG. 10 shows that this relationship applies.
  • the frustoconical intermediate portion of the centering means has an axial length longer than the tubular inner portion which directly surrounds the spindle, and the same of course is true of FIG. 12.
  • the intermediate portion of the centering means has an elongated tubular configuration whose axial length is greater than the axial length of the part of the centering means which forms the inner portion thereof and directly surrounds the spindle.
  • the intermediate flexible part of the centering means forms a yieldable means for insulating the inner part of the centering means from the deformation forces which act on the outer tubular wall of the yarn support.
  • the portion of the centering element contacting or intended 'to contact the spindle can be comprised of a plurality of segments or fingers projecting from the annular member secured to the inner wall of the supporting body member.
  • the supporting body members can be conveniently made so as to exhibit the feature of deforming, taking up the considerable pressure being exerted thereon by the yarn.
  • the deformation of the supporting body member essentially consists of a reduction in the diameter of said supporting body member. an increase in the width of the section for the tubular wall of the body member, and an extension in said wall. This deformation enables the yarn to release the contraction or shrink due to stretching being caused on the yarn prior to winding up, thus reducing to minimal values. or substantially removing the pressure said yarn would exert on a resistant and known type of supporting body member.
  • the supporting body members preferably of plastic material, according to the invention are at a same functionality of conventional supporting body members of a substantially lower weight than the latter and cost which is about onefourth or less than that of the usual supporting body members.
  • this enables to achieve substantial savings in transportation and avoids the need of resorting to the expensive recovery of supporting body members, as in the case of the prior art.
  • a yarn support comprising an outer tubular wall for directly carrying a body of yarn at the exterior surface of said tubular wall, and centering means situated within and surrounded by said tubular wall for centering the latter with respect to a drive spindle, said centering means having an inner portion for directly surrounding the spindle, and said inner portion having an inner surface of substantially the same cross-sectional configuration and size as the cross section of said spindle, and said centering means having an outer portion located at the inner surface of said tubular wall, said centering means having between said inner and outer portions thereof a flexible intermediate portion for yielding with said outer portion of said centering means when deformation occurs at said tubular wall, said inner portion of said centering means extending along the axis of said tubular wall and said intermediate portion of' said centering means having next to said inner portion an elongated part also extending along said axis and having an inner diameter different from that of said inner portion. and said intermediate portion of said centering means forming a means for insulating said inner portion of said centering means from the
  • tubular wall is also made of the same material as the entire centering means, with the centering means being integral with the tubular wall and molded as a one'piece body therewith.
  • tubular wall has integrally formed therewith at its interior longitudinally extending fins which extend parallel to the axis of said tubular wall and which project radially from the inner surface thereof toward said axis.
  • tubular wall has at its inner surface a plurality of fins which extend spirally around the axis of said tubular wall projecting from the inner surface thereof toward said axis, and the entire tubular wall, including said tins, and including the entire centering means are all formed ofa one-piece plastic body.
