Warp knitting machines may have one or more warp beams, each beam usually carrying several spools of yarn. A plurality of threads are spirally wound in sideby-side fashion on each spool, and these threads extend to the knitting instrumentalities of the machine, During the knitting operation, the threads are of course withdrawn, i.e., unwound, from the spools.
At the present time, there is no way of knowing precisely when the yarn on any particular spool will be used up. The machine operator must be alert and try to stop the machine before any one of the spools is spent so that the spools can be replaced with full ones. However, since each spool contains many thousands of yards of yarn, it is possible for one spool on the warp beam to have several yards less than the other spools. As a result, it is not unusual for one spool to run out before the machine operator contemplates, whereupon the ends of all the threads on that spool fall into the knitting instrumentalities. When this happens, the knitting needles and threads guides, which normally intermesh, are thrown out of their proper alignment and become ruined. Consequently, the entire needle bar, and sometimes the guide bar, must be removed and replaced. This not only involves the expense of a new needle bar and the time of a repair person, but in addition the machine is put out of operation while the repair is being made.
It is an object of the present invention to avoid possible damage to the knitting instrumentalities of a knitting machine by terminating operation of the machine just before any spool of yarn on the warp beam is completely exhausted.
It is another object of the invention to provide each spool with an indicator near the ends of its yarn which are f rst wound on the spool, and to provide the machine with a detector for sensing each such indicator and shutting off the machine when any indicator is sensed.
Additional objects and features of the invention will be apparent from. the following description in which reference is made to the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of parts of a warp knitting machine according to the invention; and
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. I. when the spools of yarn are nearly empty.
The machine chosen to illustrate the present invention includes a warp beam 10, mounted in the stationary machine frame, only a portion of which is shown at l l. Warp beam carries a plurality of rotatable spools of yarn l2, l3, and 14. A plurality of threads are spirally wound in side-by-side fashion on each spool, and these threads extend from the spools to the knitting instrumentalities of the machine. These instrumentalities are represented by the needle 16 and thread guide 17 shown in FIG. 1, but it isto be understood that as is usual in these machines there are many needles I6 and a thread-guide 17 for each thread 15.
According to the present invention, each of the spools 12 -14. is furnished with means extending transversely across at least two adjacent threads 15 at a point close to the ends of the threads which are first wound on the spool. In the present example, this transverse means is a strip of tape 20 adhesively secured to the threads and extending across substantially all the threads wound onthe spool. It is contemplated that the tape may be of the type having a pressure-sensitive adhesive on one face, and that when the threads 15 are initially being wound on each spool, winding will be stopped after about five yards of each thread has been wound, the tape 20 pressed on to the threads, and winding then continued until completed.
The present invention also provides a means for sensing the tape 20 of any spool 12-14 and terminating operation of the knitting machine in response thereto. In this example, the sensing means includes a rod 21 extending crosswise of threads 15 and being rotatably supported at its ends in the machine frame 11. Fixed to rod 21 are a number of thin but rigid plates 22, there being one plate for each spool. Each plate 22 is arranged in a plane perpendicular to the plane containing all the threads 15 extending from its respective spool, and is located at a point between the spool and the knitting instrumentalities. Each'plate 22 is arranged between two adjacent threads 15 extending from its respective spool, so that it is in the path of movement of tape 20 when the latter leaves the spool. Where, as in the present example, tape 20 extends across substantially all the threads 15 on a spool, plate 22 may be lo cated between any two adjacent threads.
Also fixed, to rod 21 is an actuator 23 cooperable with an electric switch 24 fixed to the machine frame. Switch 24 is arranged in a circuit relationship with the drive motor of the machine, and normally the circuit is closed through the switch. However, when the push button 25 of the switch is depressed by actuator 23, as indicated in FIG. 2, the switch is opened and operation of the machine is terminated.
From the above description it will be appreciated that when any of the spools, such as the spool 12 in FIG. 2, is nearly exhausted, the thread portion to which tape 20 is secured will be unwound and move toward the knitting instrumentalities. As the tape passes the plate 22 associated with that particular spool, the tape strikes the plate and pivots rod 21 from the position shown in FIG. 1 to that shown in FIG. 2. As a result, actuator 23 swings into engagement with push button 25 of switch 24 and terminates operation of the machine. Thus, the machine is stopped before any spool is completely exhausted and hence before the ends of any threads fall into the knitting instrumentalities.
The embodiment of the invention described above is preferred because it is particularly simple and inexpensive. However, other ways of carrying the invention into practice readily come to mind. For example, a separate switch might be mounted adjacent to the threads extending from each spool, and a switch actuator project between two adjacent threads. Also, tape 20 need not necessarily be. physically sensed as described above; the tape or a suitable substitute might for example be sensed by a photoelectric cell once all the yarn wound upon it has been withdrawn from the spool.
The invention has been shown and described in preferred form only, and by way of example, and many variations may be made in the invention which will still be comprised within its spirit. It is understood, therefore, that the invention is not limited to any specific form or embodiment except insofar as such limitations are included in the appended claims.
