Definitions

  • This invention concerns winding yarns or threads, more particularly, winding a transfer tail automatically as threadlines running at high speed are severed and begin winding onv packages.
  • a mechanism for initiating wraps simultaneously on adjacent ends of abutting supports which overlap a severed length adjacent its end comprising: a pair of fixed guides positioned above said traverse guides atequal distances from the vertical plane of the abutting support ends, each of said fixed guides being positioned within the stroke'length ofa corresponding traverse guide; a cutting means position beyond said supports in alignment with said plane; a pair of retractable guides positioned between said fixed guides and said traverse guides at equal distances from said vertical plane between said plane and the end of said stroke length, said guides having yarn engaging slots opening toward and in proximal alignment with said cutting means; means mounting said retractable guides for
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a typical windup showing a first pair of yarns strungup and ready for cutting.
  • FIG. 2 shows an overhead view of the yarn path from the retractable guides to the cutter in more detail.
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 showing an optional retractable guide arrangement for positively trapping the cut ends.
  • the windup chosen for purposes of illustration includes generally as components thereof a ⁇ machine frame lr6, a pair of rotatable chucks 7, 20, a drive roll 6, and reciprocating traverse guides 26 through which yarn advances to package supports 8.
  • a mechanism for initiating wraps simultaneously on abutting ends of package supports 8 is provided in association with the windup and includes a pair of fixed guides l positioned above traverse guides 26 at equal distances from the vertical plane of the abutting support ends, a pair of retractable guides 4 also positioned equal distances from the vertical plane of the abutting support ends but between guides 1 and guides 26.
  • the yarn engaging slots of the guides 4 are equally spaced from the plane of the abutting support ends by a distance less than that from the plane to the nearest end of the normal stroke length of traverse guides 26.
  • the distance is between A0.10 and 0.30 inch.
  • the distance between the cutting mechanism 10 and the axes of chucks 7, 20 is preferably greater than the maximum radius of a completed yarn package.
  • a suitable cutter assembly is described in greater detail in Vanneman U.S. Pat. ⁇ No. 3,166,262.
  • Two additional ⁇ threadlines 13 and 14 are held temporarily in fixed guide l2 positioned beyond the end of drive roll 6 for later attachment to abutting yarn tubes on a second chuck 20.
  • the running yarns are held in sucker gun 22 which carries them to a waste bin during stringup. It may be preferable to stringup the tubes on chuck 20 before those ⁇ on chuck 7, depending on the particular combination of machine elements.
  • yarns 2 and 3 are held in stringup position by retractable guides 4 so that they form paths 417 within about one-fourth inch from the abutting ends of yarn support tubes 8. Because the yarn is wrapped one and one-half times on tubes 8, the visible wraps 17 tend to lie on top of yarn ends 2, 3 which are converging toward slot 9 in cutter bar 10.
  • FlG. 3 shows ari optional arrangement of retractable guides 4.
  • the arrangement shown in FIG. 2 traps the cut yarns solely by superimposing succeeding yarn wraps on the path of the end to be cut. However, when small compact yarn bundles are being wound, running ends 2, 3 may not be trapped firmly by wrap 17. ln this case, it is desirable to trap the cut ends more positively.
  • retractable guides 4' are shown with outer arms and yarn engaging surfaces 4a inclined inward toward the plane ofthe abutting support ends. As piston rod 2l retracts, yarns 2 and 3 contact bumper plate l5 and then move toward each other as the guide surfaces converge. This forces yarn waraps 24 to move toward the abutting ends ofthe tube and cross over the cut ends, trapping them securely.
  • guides 4 release yarns 2 and 3 which move away from center in attempting to reach a shorter path from guides 1 to tubes 8. ln so doing, they move off the surface of bumper plate 1S and eventually are caught by traverse guides 26 to begin normal winding.
  • the operator moves air valve l1 to inactivate cutter l0 and to move piston rod 2l carrying retractable guides 4 toward drive roll 6 to a position for stringup.
  • the length of the transfer tail wound by this method is determined by the retracting speed of air cylinder 5, the proximity of bumper plate to the threadlines 2 and 3, the distance between threadlines 2 and 3 and the bumper plate as shown in FlG. 2, and the length and shape of the outer arms of guides 4. These are considered adjustable features to be selected at the discretion of the user.
  • Theretracting speed of air cylinder 5 may be regulated, for example, by a needle valve in the air supply line. Alternatively, a time delay may be introduced to start the retraction a definite time interval after the cutter operates.
  • a transfer tail wound by this method is easy to grip and unwind in the customers mill.
  • a yarn winding apparatus including two surface driven tubular yarn package supports having abutting ends, a self-threading traverse guide associated with each yarn support through which yarn passes and which move yarn axially of said supports in a normal stroke length as a package is wound, and means for collecting and disposing said yarn when not being wound into a package, a mechanism for initiating wraps simultaneously on adjacent ends of abutting supports which overlap a severed length adjacent its end, said mechanism comprising: a pair of fixed guides positioned above said traverse guides at equaldistances from the vertical pla-ne of the abutting support ends, each of said fixed guides being positioned within the stroke length of a corresponding traverse guide; a cutting means position beyond said supports in alignment with said plane; a pair of retractable guides positioned between said fixed guides and said traverse guides at equal distances from said vertical plane between said plane and the end of said stroke length, said guides having yarn engaging slots opening toward and in proximal alignment with said cutting means; means mounting said retractable guides for simultaneous movement
  • each of said slots having a yarnengaging surface inclined toward said plane.
  • said motive means is a reversible pneumatic cylinder connected to a'supply of pressurized gas, said cylinder having a piston connected to a rod, said retractable guides being connectedto the rod.
