Definitions

  • ABSTRACT The weaving machine is provided with a supporting structure above the machine base on which the cloth beam is mounted. A mechanism'is also providedto allow an empty cloth beam to be rolled up onto the supporting structure or a full cloth beam to be rolled off the supporting structure. The cloth is drawn off the cloth end of the machine base and guided about an access passageway upwardly to the supporting structure for winding onto the cloth beam.
  • the invention relates to a weaving machine with a cloth beam situated on a supporting structure above a weaving-machine base.
  • a weaving machine be provided with warp and/or cloth beams whose roll diameters are as large as possible, in order, for example, to reduce the time during which the machine is idle when the beams are changed or when the warp is prepared and/or the cloth is laid on.
  • Cloth beams with large roll diameters are required, for example, when making cloth from filament yarns, staple goods in cotton weaving mills and backings for carpets and tires, in order to have the longest possible length of cloth available in one piece for further processing, such as the printing or dyeing of the cloth or the application of the carpet pile.
  • care .must be taken that all parts of the machine are accessible over the entire width of the machine as far as the heald shafts, both from the warp end (e.g. to repair broken warps or for work on the shafts, etc.) and from the cloth end (e.g. to repair broken wefts). For this reason, there is a limit to the overall height of the machine.
  • large warp and cloth beams can be mounted one above the other on a common supporting structure situated beside the weaving-machine base. For reasons of space, however, this arrangement is not suitable for all mills.
  • the cloth beam has been mounted above the weaving-machine base on a supporting framework standing on the base at the warp end.
  • the cloth is passed from the cloth end of the machine beneath the base, along the floor to the warp end and then up past the warp roll to the cloth beam.
  • the cloth running from the floor to the cloth beam bars access to the heald shafts and, for example, to the warp stop motions from the warp end during operation of the machine.
  • the invention provides a weaving machine with a supporting structure mounted above the base of the machine upon which acloth beam is received.
  • the weaving machine is provided with a mechanism for lifting an empty cloth beam into place on the supporting structure and for lowering a full cloth beam from the supporting structure.
  • the weaving machine also has a guide means for drawing the cloth from the machine base through a guide path which forms an access passageway at the cloth end of the machine base and which directs the cloth to the cloth beam on the overhead supporting structure.
  • the supporting structure comprises two parallel supporting members with tracks which extend into the longitudinal direction of this structure and which are inclined relative to the horizontal for guiding both ends of the cloth beam and parts of the mechanism for lifting and lowering the cloth beam.
  • the guide means for the cloth has a guiding or deflecting element for the cloth which is to be rolled provided substantially above the cloth end of the weaving-machine base.
  • This novel arrangement is particularly advantageous in a weaving mill where space is restricted and the piece lengths produced must be as long as possible.
  • the guiding of the cloth is simpler than in the known arrangements, and the weaving machine is freely accessible from the cloth end. Since the machine has its own mechanism for lifting and lowering the cloth beam, the machine can be sited almost anywhere in the mill building, so that the available floor area of the weaving mill is used to the full, for example, if changes in operating conditions make it desirable to rearrange the machines.
  • the sloping tracks of the supporting structure also facilitate the changing of the cloth beam.
  • the full cloth beam whose axle slides along the supporting members, can, depending on the height of the tracks, run along the tracks until the roll comes to bear on the floor or until the beam runs onto a part of. the machine down which the beam can roll.
  • the supporting structure extends substantially over the ground plan of the machine and comprises columns which can be fixed to the cloth end and warp end of the weaving-machine base.
  • the mechanism for lifting and lowering the cloth beam comprises a tensioning means and slackening tension means which can be fixed to the cloth beam.
  • a tensioning means and slackening tension means which can be fixed to the cloth beam.
  • the tracks of the two supporting members may lie in a plane which slopes from the cloth end of the weaving machine towards the warp end of the machine. Only a small proportion of the available floor area need then be reserved for conveying the cloth and warp beams.
  • the cloth beam and warp bean can then be inserted from the same end (the warp end) of the weaving machine, and when changed they can be removed from the same end. Only a relatively narrow passageway or gangway need therefore be left at the cloth end of the machine. As a result, the machines can be set up close together with their cloth ends facing one another.
  • the weaving machine can be constructed so that there is at least one guiding or driving beam arranged parallel to the cloth beam axle which cooperates with the periphery of the cloth beam or cloth roll placed loosely thereon.
  • the tension means is fixed to the axle of the cloth beam while the mechanism for lifting and lowering the cloth beam I bodying the invention from the cloth end, the cloth end of the base of the weaving machine is provided,at a
  • the supporting structure is provided with a guiding element for the tension means. This element is situated above that portion of the weaving machine which receives the warp beam.
  • At least one of the driving and/or guiding beams is mounted on mountings which are movable transversely relative to the tracks of the supporting members and which can be fixed in position.
  • the axles of both these driving and/or guiding beams can be brought into a plane which is inclined relative to the horizontal to correspond approximately to the inclination of the track. In this way, the cloth beam over-j balances when the tension means is slackened and rolls off the two driving and/or guiding beams as a result of gravity.
  • the supporting members are provided with oblique, detachable guide-rails for the cloth beam, which rails end at or slightly above the floor.
