  • the present invention relates to a multiple yarn package take-up, and more particularly to an apparatus for winding yarns on at least two packages alternately.
  • a winding operation is effected wherein two take-up positions are used right and left as a pair, and when the bobbin or package of one of the take-up positions becomes full, the continuously running yarn of filament is transferred to the empty bobbin or package of the other take-up position of the pair, whereupon the same yarn or filament is immediately taken up on the empty package or bobbin.
  • the winding operation is alternately carried out from the left take-up position to the right take-up position, and from the right take-up position to the left take-up position.
  • the operator cuts the yarn and doffs each full bobbin at any time while the other bobbin is winding.
  • Dual type filament winding apparatus has been proposed before, but there are a number of technical difficulties in accurately transferring the running yarn from one take-up position to the other. Difficulties are also experienced in the automatization of the operation of such winders, even at relatively slow speeds.
  • the running speed of the running yarn is further improved, and a remarkably fine transferring mechanism is achieved.
  • the present invention removes the above mentioned drawbacks that are inherent in the prior art, and provides for the first time known to applicants a fully satisfactory winder which satisfies the aforementioned requirements.

  • a dual type filament winder is disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,083,923 to Taylor, but it has the drawback that, when a running filament is transferred to the side of the empty bobbin, while the traverse guide sometimes accurately catches the running filament, it fails more often than not. Further, when it succeeds in catching the running filament, yarn breakage often follows.

  • a transferring guide and a stopper guide are provided in combination with the dually supported bobbins.
  • Traversing rollers (16) are provided, as is described in detail in FIG. 4, in correspondence to the positions of two bobbins, and the traversing center guide (26) is capable of changing positions freely right and left at the upper portion of the respective take-up positions.
  • the bobbin supporting arms (111), (112) of the takeup portions are of the dual type so advantageous for the surface drive system.
  • Said bobbin supporting arms (111) and (112) are provided with switching guides (113), (l 14) supported movably on the arms (111), (112) through shafts (115) and (l 16).
  • the switching guides (113) and (114) can be interlocked by the movement of the bobbin supporting arms (111) and (112) by a mechanism prepared by connecting the gears (117) and (118) provided on the shafts (115) and (116) to the gears (119) and (120) provided on the supporting portion of the bobbin supporting arms (111) and l 12).
  • the switch guides (113), (114) are moved by means of chains (121), (122) in such a direction that switch guides (113) and (114) are present between the bobbin (1) or (7) and the drive roller 12).
  • Switch guides (113) and (114) have stoppers (123) and (124) respectively on the right and left ends of the guide portion, in parallel with the axial direction of the bobbin (1) or bobbin (7
  • bobbins (1) for example, becomes full, it is disconnected from the drive roller (12) along with the bobbin supporting arm (1 1 1); the switch guide (1 13) is simultaneously moved to the middle of the full bobbin (1) and the traversing roller (16) from the upper portion of the bobbin with the shaft (115) as the fulcrum.
  • the running filament (15) having passed through the traversing center guide (26) is contacted against the guide portion of the switch guide (113), and is taken up on the full bobbin (1) which rotates by inerha.
  • the filament (15) is going to be moved to the empty bobbin (7) in view of the traversing center guide (26) having moved to the right hand, but in this apparatus, the stopper (123) is provided on the right end of the switch guide (113), and therefore the filament is stopped by the stopper (123), and keeps on with the result that the filament is taken up on the right hand end portion of the package of the full bobbin (1) without being allowed to fall from the end surface of the package (2).
  • the filament (15) is caught by the yarn catching click (126) on the end surface of the empty bobbin (7) running while the filament (15) is running to the bobbin (1) through the stopper (123) from the traversing center guide (26) having moved to the center of the upper portion of the right hand take-up portion, and the filament (15 is moved to the traversing slot (20) without causing misrunning from the crossing point (23) of the traversing roller (16).
  • the filament (15) is cut off under tension between the full bobbin (1) and the yarn catching click (126), to terminate the switch-over.
  • Various devices may be used as the driving means for carrying out the shaking movement or the reciprocal movement of the shift lever. Any conventional means for providing a shaking movement or reciprocal movement generally employed in the field where winding or handling running filament is handled, can be preferably used; a suitable electric means is shown in FIG. 16 and can be preferably used as a concrete example.
  • FIG. 16 shows an example of the swing motion mechanism of the shift lever (24).
  • the shift lever (24) has a traversing center guide (26) on its end.
  • the gear (131) is fixed on the other end of lever (24), and the chain (132) is engaged in said gear (131).
  • bars (133) and (134) are provided on both ends of the magnetically operable chain (132) bars (133) and (134) are provided. Bars (133) and (134) are placed in the electro-magnetic circuits (135) and (136) in such a manner that said bars can be freely shifted in and out.
  • Electro-magnetic circuit (135) is operated when the left hand bobbin (1) becomes full, to cause the bar (134) internally, to move the chain (132), to rotate the gear (131), and to swing the shift lever (24).
  • the adjustment of the swing speed of the shift lever (24) can be easily carried out by selecting the diameter ofthe gear (131).
  • the moving of the in-out guide (101) described in connection with FIG. 11, can be preferably carried out by any conventional means, but two concrete examples are given in FIG. 17 showing an embodiment where an air cylinder is used, and also in FIG. 18 showing an embodiment where an electromagnet is used.
  • the guide bars are connected at the back surface of the board (102) into one, and are connnected to the electro-magnetically operated rod (143) and their inout operation can be carried out by the operation of the electro-magnetic circuit (142).
  • the in-out guide (102) as is shown in FIG. 18 is more advantageous when attached to the apparatus through the board (102), than the in-out guide (102) as is shown in FIG. 17.
  • Filament winding apparatus including supply means forming a filament feed path
  • a. means forming a pair of take-up positions arranged right and left as a pair, each of said take-up positions including 0-1.
  • a bobbin for taking up the filament and a-2. means for rotating said bobbin;
  • a traversing roller arranged along said filament feed path and extending in correspondence to both of said take-up portions, said traversing roller including b-I a pair of endless traversing slots arranged to receive and to guide said filament for traversing said filament between said take-up positions, and I b-2. a pair of alternately intersecting transfer slots arranged for connecting said traversing slots;
  • Filament winding apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said roller further includes a first tail-catching slot (89) positioned between said pair of transfer slots (87) (94) and one of said traversing slots (91) (92), and a second tail-catching slot (93) positioned outside the other one of said traversing slots (95) and is coupled to said pair of transfer slots (87) (94) through filament guide slots (96) (97) and said other one of said traversing slots (95).
