Definitions

  • a pneumatic cleaning apparatus for textile machinery is dis- Dee.24, 1969 closed for removing fly and fiber dust from operative components and parts of the machines.
  • This invention relates to a pneumatic cleaning apparatus and has particular reference to an apparatus for pneumatically removing and conducting away lint and fly from textile machinery.
  • the fly removal apparatus embodying the invention is generally demonstrated by the characteristic arrangements in which a plurality of suction openings communicating with a pneumatic suction device are located each locally for sucking ofi and conducting away the lint and fly emanating from operative areas of the loom including a warp stop motion, a harness and a reed area.
  • the suction opening for taking up lint and fly enamating from the impact of warp threads during shedding of the harness is formed in a box-like suction means at one end thereof, while the opposite end of the suction means is similarly open communicating with the said suction opening and directed towards the warp stop motion to take up lint and fly therefrom.
  • the suction opening for drawing away therethrough lint and fly produced during operation of the reeds is conveniently directed towards the points of impact of warp and weft threads in the reeds.
  • the lint and fly sucked through these suction openings is conducted away via common conduit means connected to a pneumatic suction device beneath the loom.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the important operating parts of a loom of conventional form, showing a preferred arrangement of the fly removal apparatus embodying the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic side elevation of the apparatus of the invention with parts of the loom removed.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a main operating part of a loom broadly designated by reference numeral 10, which loom is designed in the presently illustrated exemplary embodiment for weaving a tape 11 in a well known manner.
  • the loom 10 is secured to the floor (not shown) by means of frame members (not shown) in the usual manner, and it essentially comprises a warp stop motion 12 typically comprising a group of droppers 13 supported on dropper bars 14 secured to suitable support members 15, harnesses 16 for shedding rows of warp threads 17 and reeds 18 for beating wefi threads (not shown) into warp threads.
  • Designated at 19 is a supporting bar for movably carrying a needle (not shown) for picking and insetting weft threads through warp threads.
  • Designated at 20 is a pair of side guard frames for the harness area and connected by a removable top cover 21.
  • Other complementary components and parts of the loom are omitted from the illustration for the sake of brevity and because they have little bearing upon the function of the inventive fly removal apparatus.
  • the origin of lint and fly is local predominantly at the warp stop motion 12 where warp threads 17 are frictionally engaged in the droppers 13, at the areas of harnesses 16 where warp threads are frequently impacted duringthe shedding operation and at the areas of reeds 18 where weft threads are beat into warp threads.
  • Lint and fly is effectively and efficiently removed by the improved fly removal apparatus generally designated at 30 which comprises essentially a suction pump P producing suction air currents, a common suction conduit means 31 connected with and extending from the pump P, a first branch conduit means 32 and a second branch conduit means 33 tying into the common suction conduit means 31, a suction box means 34 located in the path of warp threads 17 between the warp stop motion 12 and the harnesses l6 and having a first suction opening 35 directed towards the warp stop motion 12 and a second suction opening 36 directed towards the harnesses 16, said box means being operatively connected to said first branch conduit means, a cylindrical member 37 having a longitudinally elongated suction opening 38 directed towards the reeds 18, said cylindrical member being operatively connected to said second branch conduit means, and a collecting means 39 connected to a discharge side of the pump for collecting therein the lint and fly that has been conducted on suction air currents produced by the pump P.
  • the suction box means 34 may be conveniently provided with a tab 40 with which to open the box 34 from one side as at 41, thereby providing access to warp threads in the box means.
  • the second suction opening 36 is wide enough not to interfere with the shedding motion of warp threads 17, while the first suction opening 35 is converged to provide sufficient suction force to suck and remove lint and fly from ofi the points of frictional engagement of warp threads with the respective droppers l3. Removal of lint and fly from these points is particularly important to prevent its settlement upon the dropper bars 14 which would otherwise cause operational failure of the warp stop motion 12. This is more so where the warp stop motion is of an electrical function.
  • An apparatus for cleaning lint and fly from operative areas of a 100m including a warp stop motion, harnesses and reeds which comprises: a suction pump producing suction air currents, a common suction conduit means connected with and extending from said pump, a first branch conduit means and a second branch conduit means connected with said common suction conduit, a suction box means having a first suction opening directed towards the warp stop motion and a second suction opening directed towards the harnesses, said box means being operatively connected to said first branch conduit means, a cylindrical member having a longitudinal elongated suction opening directed towards the reeds, said cylindrical member being operatively connected to said second branch conduit means, and a collecting means connected with a discharge side of said pump for collecting the lint and fly that has been conducted on suction air currents.
  • suction box means is located in the path of warp threads between the warp stop motion and the harnesses.
