  • My invention relates to a creel for textile machines and, more particularly, to a creel having a coil-carrying frame mounted on one or more displaceable carriages.
  • a creel has already been described in German Pat. No. 352,713, which has a coil-carrying frame mounted on one or more displaceable creel carriages in order, on the one hand, to permit rapid exchange of the supply coils, and, on the other hand, to mount new supply coils on the coil-carrying frame outside of a stationary part of the creel, for example directly at the spinning machine where the supply coils are wound.
  • a disadvantage of this known device is that the mounting of the coils on the coil-carrying frame requires a relatively large amount of space, since the creel carn'ageor trolley must be run out of the stationary creel part in a direction away from the side thereof facing the thread takeup device i.e.
  • creel assembly for textile machines comprising a creel having a coilcarrying frame mounted on one or more carriages movable out of a stationary portion of the creel, thread takeup means for winding a bunch of threads extending thereto from coils carried on the frame and through a front side of the stationary creel portion opposing the thread takeup means, and a device located between the front side of the stationary creel portion and the thread takeup means for raising at least part of the thread bunch to a height above the coil-carrying frame whereby the carriages are displaceable beneath the raised thread bunch and past the front side of the stationary creel portion.
  • the creel assembly of the invention offers the advantage of being space saving, since the rear side of the stationary creel portion facing away from the thread takeup means can be moved, under certain conditions, so that it is up tight against an interior wall.
  • the creel assembly of the invention also offers a considerable advantage as to timesaving when considered in respect to the heretofore known devices of this general type by providing, in accordance with a further feature of the invention, a path or track leading out of the stationary creel portion from both the front and rear sides thereof, and preferably closed upon itself, whereon the creel carriage is able to travel.
  • a device which can drop down into the floor and be driven out therefrom pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically so as to suitably raise the bunch of threads.
  • a device that is particularly simple, however, is one in which a rod pivotally mounted on the front side of the stationary creel portion serves for raising the threads.
  • the rod serving to raise the threads according to the aforementioned construction is able to drop down into the floor or is pivotally mounted on the front side of the stationary creel portion, it is advantageous in accordance with another feature of my invention to provide rises or depressions on at least that part of the surface of the rod which faces the threads being raised, so as to separate the threads thereon.
  • These rises or depressions can be formed for example by needles or notches in the surface of the rod.
  • the rises or depressions in the surface of the rod can also be effected by providing annular grooves distributed along the rod or providing the rod with a screw-shaped surface.
  • the thread takeup means is provided with a comb having upwardly extending tines or teeth, care must be taken that the threads do not slide out of the spaces between the comb teeth as the thread bunch traveling therethrough is being raised.
  • the comb teeth can be lengthened, for example, or the comb proper so disposed that it can be raised and lowered.
  • a locking device for fixing the threads in the comb which comprises a deflecting strip in front of the comb by means of which at least the threads running into the comb from above are fixed at a predetermined entering angle independently of how steeply the threads in front of the deflecting strip run to the comb. If this deflecting strip and the device for raising the thread bunch are adjustably constructed, they can operate simultaneously as a clamping device so that the threads are firmly clamped thereby in front of the comb.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a creel assembly with a beam warping machine constructed in accordance with my invention
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a view corresponding to that of FIG. I with the creel carriages omitted and showing in greater detail the device for raising and fixing the thread bunch;

  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are sectional views respectively taken along the lines VI-VI and VII-VII in the direction of the arrows of a device for fixing the thread in the spaces between the comb teeth as well as for firmly clamping the thread bunches upon actuation of the raising device of the preceding FIGS.;
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 are front elevational and top plan views of another embodiment of the creel carriage shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a creel formed of a stationary creel portion 1 and a coil-carrying frame 2 mounted on two trolleys or carriages 3a and 3!; that can be run out of the stationary creel portion 1. Threads drawn off the individual coils 4 are passed in a conventional manner through tensioners and deflecting members to the schematically shown thread takeup device 5 wherein they run initially through a comb 6 and over a deflecting roller 7 to a winding beam 8.
  • a rod 9 is pivotally mounted on the front side la of the stationary creel portion.
  • This rod 9 is shown in FIG. I in its outermost pivoted position so that it is clearly apparent how the individual threads of the thread bunch f, coming from the creel, run over the rod 9 to the comb 6 of the thread takeup device 5.
  • the normal thread path is indicated by the dot-dash lines f.
  • FIG. 2 In the plan view of FIG. 2 there can again be seen the stationary creel portion 1 with the two creel carriages 3a and 3b as well as the thread bunch f, leading to the comb 6 of the takeup device 5.
  • the thread bunch f is represented in FIG. 2 only by the outer threads thereof located both on the right and left sides (the upper and lower sides as shown in FIG. 2).
  • the rod 9 which serves to raise the thread bunch f and which, in the drawn-out form shown in FIG. 2, only raises one side of the thread bunch f so that the creel carriages 3a and 3b can be run out of the stationary creel portion 1 under the thread bunch f along the path represented by the extended line 10.
  • creel carriages 3c and 3d studded with full supply coils can meanwhile be simultaneously run into the stationary creel portion 1 from the rear side thereof (the right hand side of FIG. 2) along the closed path 10.
  • the path or track 10 can also be interrupted, for example, at the location Illa and it is possible that even the one-half can run toward the other side of the stationary creel portion 1 in accordance with the dot-dash line 10b.
  • the advantage of rapid exchange of the creel carriages nevertheless the disadvantage of having to reverse the travel direction of the carriages must be put up with.
  • space saving is more important than speed of creel carriage exchange, it is possible to run the creel carriages out of and back into the stationary creel portion 1 through the front side thereof by providing, for example, a
  • the track 12 can extend symmetrically to the track 10, whereby this track 10, for example, ends at the end of the location of the creel carriage 3d. It is also possible likewise to arrange the track 10 symmetrically to the track 12. In the case where the creel carriages are to be passed over the track 12, it is necessary also to raise the other side of the thread bunch f.
  • the rod 9 is provided with an extension 9a, shown in dotted lines, so as to underly the entire width of the thread bunch f.
  • FIG. 3 there is shown more clearly that part of FIG. I which relates to the raising of the thread bunch f by means of the rod 9, and the simultaneous fixing of the threads in the spaces between the comb teeth.
  • the creel carriages have been omitted from FIG. 3. Only one of the threads extending from the creel over the rod 9 to the beam warping machine is shown in the FIG.
  • FIG. 3 clearly shows again the rod 9 which is pivotally secured by means of a bearing 13 on the front side Ia of the stationary creel portion 1 so as to raise at least one part of the thread bunch f.
  • the rod 9 is pivotally connected to an end of a lever arm 14 whose other end is engaged by one end of a rod 15, the other end of which is rotatably mounted in a lever 16.
  • the lever 16 is rigidly connected to a handle 17 and is turnably secured to a bracket fixed to and extending from the front side In of the stationary creel portion 1. In the position shown in FIG. 3, the lever arm 16, for example, abuts a stop member so that the rod 9 is automatically fixed in position. If the handle 17 is pivoted counterclockwise, as viewed in FIG. 3, the rod 9 can be lowered into the position thereof shown in dot-dash lines.
  • a pushbutton 18 which is actuated by the rod 9 when it reaches the dot-dash position thereof to break the circuit of an electric current source 19.
  • the current source 19 serves for energizing an electromagnet having an armature that is connected with a strip or slat 21, which serves for fixing the threads in the spaces between the comb teeth when the thread bunch is raised, and simultaneously acts as an automatically operative clamping device for the threads when the thread bunch is raised, so that the threads cannot slide out of the beam warping machine 5 when the winding beam 8 is exchanged.
  • FIGS. 4 to 7 serve to explain components of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 4 the rod 9 for raising the thread bunch f is shown in plan view.
  • the mounting of the lever 9 by means of the schematically indicated bearing 13 on the nonillustrated front side of the stationary creel portion, as well as the end of the lever arm 14 that is connected to the rod 9.
  • FIG. 5 which is an end view of FIG. 4, it can be seen that the arm 9 is supposed to be in the raised position thereof corresponding to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the surface of the rod 9 facing or in engagement with the threads f is provided with needles 9b, between which the threads f pass so that separation of the threads f is maintained even when the thread bunch is raised.
  • an analogous function is provided by notches or depressions 9 formed in the surface of the rod.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show two sectional views illustrating the locking and clamping device for fixing and clamping the threads when the thread bunch is raised by the rod 9.
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line VII-VII of FIG. 6 and is much enlarged over the view thereof at the left-hand side of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line VI-Vl in FIG. 7.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are seen a step-shaped comb e.g. a comb with teeth of graduated length, of the takeup device 5, which is secured in a comb carrier 6a that is in turn mounted conventionally in the frame of the takeup pr winding device 5.
  • a step-shaped comb e.g. a comb with teeth of graduated length
  • the strip 21 for fixing and firmly clamping the threads within the comb 6 when the thread hunch is raised is formed of a tube, as shown in the illustrated embodiment, whose end 21a is mounted by means of a rod or armature 22 in the comb carrier 64 so that the tube 21 can be raised and lowered.
  • a spring 23 serves for raising the strip 21 for a given distance until an abutment collar 24 disposed on the rod 22 engages the comb carrier 6a from below as shown inFlGS. 6 and 7.
  • An electromagnet serves for lowering the strip 21. Since in accordance with the view shown in FIG.
  • tubular strip 21 deflects a part of the threads also in the raised position thereof, it can be advantageous to mount the tubular strip 21 so that it is rotatable about its longitudinal axis.
  • the end 21a of the strip 21 is secured by a screw 25 to the rod 22.
  • the strip 21 can be swung upwardly by loosening the screw 25 so as to facilitate the insertion of the threads in the comb 6.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 there is shown a respective side elevational and top plan view of a creel carriage which is particularly advantageous for the creel assembly according to my invention, because it permits a space saving construction of the creel can'iage for the purpose of mounting new coils thereon.
