  • TRANSFER MECHANISM FOR HIGH SPEED WINDERS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Many devices have been suggested for the purpose of applying to yarns while they are being wound on a bobbin or yarn carrier a yarn transfer tail.
  • the transfer tail normally consists of a sufficient number of turns of yarn would initially on the yarn carrier clear of the main body of yarn to enable a junction to be made between the yarn at the end of the package as unwound and the leading end of yarn on a further package.
  • a yarn taii be formed at one end of each tube before the main body of yarn is wound upon the open tubes so that in later textile operation such as beaming or ,quilling, where continuous yarns are required, the tail yarn of one tube may be tied to the lead end of the yarn on another filled tube so that there will be no interruption in the operation when the supply of one tube becomes exhausted.
  • 3,488,010 for thepurpose of providing yarn tails o is threaded and before the yarn tail is applied to the package being wound.
  • a novel and unique system is provided for the winding of precision textilepackages which eliminates many of the short comings existent in the prior art devices utilized for this purpose.
  • a yarn tail may be wound on each of the packages and provided in such a manner that each yarn tail is of the same character as the remainder of the wound package.
  • the transfer mechanism of the instant inventiontinds utility in winding textured or untextured yarns.
  • textile yarn is to be wound on a dual package
  • two strands of yarn are nipped or coupled between the two tubes or carriers on which the packages are to be wound by passing the yarns through a guide eye and catching them at a point located between the two tubes or carriers on which the packages are to be wound, preferably intermediate the two tubes.
  • a yarn guide holder having a bifurcated base and a pin attached to or integral therewith is placed so that the strands lie over the bifurcation of the yarn guide holder and under the pin. The pin rests on top of the two strands which are coupled to the two tubes to be wound and the remainder of the yarn guide holder operates as a spreading mechanism.
  • the winder after the two strands are connected to the carrier or tubes on which the yarn is to be wound, is actuated to provide for the rotational movement of the tubes and yarn is wound at a point intermediate the two packages to be collected.
  • the yarn guide holder When the winder reaches operating speed for collection of the yarn, the yarn guide holder is moved away from the yarn guide eyelet thus spreading or spacing the two strands of yarn apart from each other.
  • traversing guide eyes associated with the winder and reciprocating in a horizontal direction pick up eachof the spaced apart strands and begin winding the packages on each side of the yarn guide holder. In their movement to the package forming position the guide eyes wind several turns of yarn on each package at the end of each package thus providing the transfer tails thereon.
  • the rotational movement of the yarn carrier and the rapid reciprocating traverse guide eyes wind the package at the same speed at which the yarn tail guide was wound at the beginning of the operation until a package of the desired weight or depth has been provided.
  • yarn tails are provided on each end of each of the packages which are wound and the tails have the same character as the yarn wound on the package itself.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a dual package winder utilizing the yarn tail transfer mechanism of the instant invention, the winder in the rest position;
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic illustration of the dual winder of FIG. 1 with the yarn guide spreading assembly in an operating position with the strands moving apart from each other and into position to provide the transfer tail and begin the winding operation;
  • FIG. 3 shows the yarn guide pivot mechanism completely disengaged and the traversing guide eyes winding the separated yarn on the two forming tubes.
  • roller 16 has a tapered central portion 16a which permits winding waste yarn intermediate packages 12 and 13 at the beginning of the winding operation.
  • a central guide eye member 23 Located below the cam box 40, on a support plate 2! and bolted thereto via bolt 29 is a central guide eye member 23. Positioned within the member 23 as shown in FIG. 1 is pin 24a of a yarn guide holder 24 which is bolted or welded to a bar 25 that is rotatable via bushings 30 and 30a. Rigidly attached to the bar 25 is a metal bar 27 which may be attracted by a magnetic field generated by the magnet 28 and magnet bar 28a associated therewith. Also located at the end of bar 25 is a handle member 26 firmly affixed to the bar 25 which may be utilized to rotate the bar 25 by hand if desired.
  • a hollow horizontal bar member 31 rotatable between bushings 36 and 38 and having a housing 37 positioned at the end thereof.
  • two elbow shaped support members 39 and 42 which carry spindles 32 and 33 at their extremity.
  • Suitable means is provided inside of arm or bar member 31 which is operatively associted with the winder motor to provide for movement of the arms 39 and 42 and rotation of housing 37 in an upward or downward direction in response to the speed of winding in order to maintain tension on the strands l9 and 20 during winding in a manner conventional in the art.
  • the yarns l9 and 20 move laterally and the guide eyes 14 and 15 pick them up during theirreciprocation in the horizontal direction.
  • the yarn has fallen into the slot located in each one of these horizontally reciprocating guide eyes 34 and 115.
  • the reciprocating guides 14 and 15 then move across the face of the packages 13 and 12, respectively and yarn winding begins leaving a yarn tail for each package adjacent the end of each package.
  • the yarn guide holder 24 has fallen approximately from the position shown in FIG. 1 and yarn has been wound on each of the packages 12 and 13. This is essentially the position of the yarn transfer tail mechanism as the winding operation continues until a package of desired depth is reached.
  • the machine is turned off and the packages are disengaged.
  • the yarn transfer tail is located intermediate the packages 12 and 13.
  • the packages on tubes 12 and 13 are separated and the material immediately adjacent slot 18 is discarded as waste.
  • the yarn at each end of each package adjacent the ends contains the transfer tails for each package.
  • the yarn is preferably cut in the center between the packagesto provide a transfer tail of 15 to 18 inches in length on one end of each of the packages 12 and 13 respectively.
  • utilization of the yarn transfer tail mechanism of the instant invention provides for a simple threading of a single spindle for the collection of two packages and provides a transfer tail on each of the packages in a simple efficient manner.
  • the mechanism can be operated with a plurality of yarn-transfer guide members associated with spindles that are winding four, six, eight, 10 or any number of packages associated with a single spindle mechanism or a plurality of spindle mechanisms.
  • the operation of the system may also be conducted by hand by simply turning the handle 26 on the bar member 25 when visual observation of the winder shows that it has reached operating speed.
  • demagnetization of the bar member 27 occurs automatically by connecting the winder electrically to the magnet 28 so that when the winder 11 reaches the desired winding speed an electric switch deenergizes magnet 28 and its bar member 28a thereby disengaging the metal bar 27 holding the yarn guide holder 24 and pin 24a in its upright position in the groove of the yarn guide 23.
  • the customer receives a transfer tail which has the same loft and the same character as the remaining yarn on the package and thus the yarn transfer tail does not form bands or bars (a bar effect produced by strips or bars extending crosswise in woven and knitted goods) in fabrics when they are woven orknitted as would be customary should the yarn transfer tail be applied to the package while the winder had not reached normal operating speed.
  • bands or bars a bar effect produced by strips or bars extending crosswise in woven and knitted goods
  • a method of winding double strand packages to provide tie on tails on each package comprising the steps of introducing two strands to be wound through a guide member and attaching them firmly between two tubes on which the packages are to be wound positioning a holder in the guide member to maintain the two strands in the guide member, rotating the tubes to commence winding the two strands at their point of attachment between the tubes, upon attaining a given winding speed, releasing the holder from the guide member and directing the two strands away from each other and into reciprocating, transversing guide members associated with each tube, and continuing winding the strands on said tubes until the desired packages have been formed thereon.
  • a method of winding a plurality of textile packages to provide tie on tails on each of the packages wound comprising providing a guide member for each two packages to be wound, passing two separate textile strands through each guide member and attaching them between the two tubes on which packages are to be wound associated with each guide member, providing a holder in each said guide member to maintain each set of two textile strands positioned therein, rotating the tubes to commence winding packages thereon, releasing the holder from the guide member when the rotation of. the tubes has reached the desired winding speed and simultaneously spreading the two strands as sociated with each guide member away from each other, picking up each strand as it is spread in a horizontally traversing guide member and winding a package on each tube as they rotate.
  • An apparatus for winding dual packages on winding tubes comprising two tubes adapted to receive textile strand on their respective surfaces and mounted on a spindle associated with a motor adapted to rotate said spindle, means between said tubes for engaging at least two textile strands, a guide member positioned adjacent said tubes and adapted to receive at least two textile strands, a holder positioned in said guide member and adapted to engage at least two strands positioned in said guide member, said holder being provided with a straight pin at the end thereof positioned in said guide member and a bifurcation'at the base of the pin, said bifurcation being such that when the pin is moved out of the guide member, it spreads strand held by the pin in a lateral direction, means for moving said holder out of said guide member, and means associated with each of said tubes to receive strand as it is moved laterally by said holder and reciprocate strand in a horizontal plane with respect to each of said tubes during winding.
