9 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures P'A'TENTED B 11 m2 3.698 176 SHEET 2 OF 2 FIGA I NVEN TOR SPINNING RING FOR RING SPINNING AND RING TWISTING FRAMES The present invention concerns a spinning ring for ring-spinning and ring-twisting frames, with flange and cross-piece, for use during spinning of a roving into yarn.
In spinning and twisting, the traveller rotates on the spinning ring, and in the process the thread is pulled through the traveller in known manner. Now, when the thread tension slackens, the traveller may tilt in the direction of movement and so come to lie on the spinning ring. In so doing, the traveller presses the thread against the spinning ring, with the result that the thread is torn at that point. Such a case arises in particular at starting and stopping, i.e. basically whenever the thread tension suddenly changes.
An object of the present invention is to provide a system avoiding that drawback. It is characterized in that the outer, convex contour of the flange top is connected to a concave or straight contour of the said flange top on the inside of the convex contour by a regular circular truncated cone jacket or an inflexion point circle.
Several embodiments of the invention are not to be illustrated by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which FIG. I shows part of a spinning ring in cross-section, with the traveller in the normal working position;
FIG. 2 shows partof a spinning ring similar to that in FIG. 1, but with the traveller tilted;
FIGS. 3 and 4 each show part of other forms of spinning rings in cross-section.
The spinning ring 1 (FIGS. 1, 2) presents a generally T-shaped cross-section with a top 4 and a crosspiece 5. Top 4 includes a flange 3. The contour 7 of the flange top 4 comprises an outer contour 9 and an inner contour 11. The two contours 9 and 11, viewed in crosssection, are interconnected by a straight line 13, in particular by an inflexion point tangent. FIG. 1 shows a traveller 15 in upright position, i.e. in the case of normal thread tension in normal spinning or twisting operation. FIG. 2, on the other hand, shows the traveller 15 in diagram in a case when the thread tension changes, in particular when it slackens and the traveller l5, responding to the forces acting on it, comes to lie on the outer contour 9 of the flange top 4. FIGS. 1 and 2 further show a thread 21 in section and a thread 23; the first-mentioned is associated with the traveller 15 in its normal position, while the second is associated with the traveller 15 in the forward-tilted position.
The special upper flange contour 7 ensures that even if the traveller is tilted (FIG. 2) there will still be sufficient clearance between traveller and flange top 4 to prevent any clamping and consequent tearing of the thread 23. In extensive tests with such spinning rings and travellers, it proved possible largely to eliminate the fluffs. Also, there were far fewer thread breakages (up to one-third fewer) than in known systems, despite the fact that very high traveller speeds were attained (over 1,400 rpm).
The curvature radii of the convex and concave, or outer and inner, contours 9 and 11 may be made equal, for instance, preferably 1 mm.
FIG. 3 shows a spinning ring 25 in cross-section, with a flange 27 and a crosspiece 28. Reference 29 indicates the top of the flange 27. Its outer contour 31 and its inner contour 32, viewed in cross-section, are interconnected by a straight line 34. This, in conjunction with the cross-sectional line of the inner contour 32, defines an obtuse re-entrant angle 36 facing away from the ring. The line 34, which is a jacket line of a circular truncated cone jacket 35 whose cone apex is on the spinning ring axis, forms, in conjunction with the straight line 38 parallel to the spinning ring axis, an angle 40 which is between and 70, preferably between 50 and 60.
FIG. 4 shows part of another spinning ring 45. The flange 47 presents a top 49 and is supported by a crosspiece 48. The flange top presents an outer contour 51 and an inner contour 52. The two contours 51 and 52 are interconnected by a dip 53. The transition from the dip 53 to the outer contour 51, viewed in cross-section, is formed by a point of inflexion 55 with the tangent 54. There, the line 34 (FIG. 3) is condensed into the point 55 and, in space, accordingly, the truncated cone 25 jacket of the line 34 becomes an. inflexion point circle 56. As in FIG. 3, the angle 40, of between 30 and is defined between tangent 54 and the line 38 parallel to the axis.
When the value of the angle 40 falls below approximately 30, the traveller cannot, or can hardly, come to lie on the spinning ring.
The ratio of dimensions (b a) indicated in FIGS. 3 and 4 is 0.15 to 0.3, preferably 0.20 to 0.25, more particularly 0.23. It will be understood that dimension a is the width of the flange top, and the dimension b is the distance between the highest points of the outer and inner contour line with horizontal tangents.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not to be considered limited to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification.
