Definitions

  • the invention is particularly adapted for use in texturizing machines, and especially, for those texturizing by false twist.
  • the present invention relates to a new thread feeder designed for textile machines and more particularly for texturizing machines, particularly for false twist machines.
  • Theinvention relates more particularly to a device of the type comprising, essentially, a rotary cylinder and an endless belt applied along an arc of a circle against the cylinder, the linear speedsof these elements being equal to those sought for the thread, such an arrangement is described in particular in French Pat. No. 1,149,841.
  • the endless belt is mounted on two rollers with parallel axes between which the cylinder is placed.
  • the driving element is preferably constituted by the cylinder which is driven in rotation.
  • the belt in contact with the cylinder is mounted on two idler rollers carried on two support shafts parallel to the cylinder. These shafts rest on an oscillating support subject to the action of a spring which tends to place the belt against the driving cylinder.
  • the entrainment capacity of the thread by the feeder is obtained either by adjusting the pressure of the belt on the cylinder, or by combining these two factors.
  • entrainment capacity we mean the force with which the feeder is able to advance or deliver the thread. In every case, this entrainment capacity must be adjusted in such a way that it will be greater than the breaking limit of the thread it delivers. In this way, in case of variation in the conditions of treatment, and primarily when the tension of the thread increases above the feeder, the latter will cause the thread to break.
  • the devices of this type embodied heretofore can assume only two positions, namely, either (1) idle, the belt not touching or being in contact with the cylinder, or (2) working, the belt then being in contact with the cylinder, with a pressure determined by the force of the spring and the natural weight of the assembly, and an embraced are likewise being predetermined. Consequently, during the launching or start-up of thread advancement, and principally in the case of machines for texturizing by false twist, numerous breaks occur, due to tension jolts which are produced principally when the false twist spindle is started up, and by the difficulty of precisely synchronizing the action of the feeders placed above and below the spindle. 7
  • a thread feeder which limits breaks to a minimum and facilitates start-up of the machine on which it is used.
  • a thread feeder which limits breaks to a minimum and facilitates start-up of the machine on which it is used.
  • such a device is particularly adapted to machines for texturizing by false twist, but it could also be used in any other type of textile equipment and principallyin every case where tension jolts are produced on the thread when starting up.
  • the thread feeder according to the invention comprises a rotary cylinder and an endless belt which, in normal operation, is applied along an arc of a circle against the cylinder.
  • the thread to be fed passes between the belt and the cylinder with the belt being mounted on two idler rollers attached to a support arm.
  • the support arm is associated with means for positioning and pretensioning the belt in an intermediate position between the idle and working positions.
  • the belt, in this intermediate embraced arc and the pressure exerted by the belt is much less than those used in normal operation.
  • the arc embraced by the belt on the driving cylinder during intermediate position is preferably at least five times less than the are in normal working position, and the force of application of the belt on the cylinder is less than that exerted in normal operation.
  • the arc is less than 0.3 radian and the force of application'less than I kilogram.
  • the means for positioning the belt with respect tothe driving cylinder are preferably constituted by an adjustable stop which rests on the driving cylinder during start-up and limits the displacement of the belt, and consequently, the arc embraced by the belt on the driving cylinder during the launching.
  • the beltpositioning stop can rest on a second stop fixed in a position predetermined with respect. to the driving cylinder.
  • the means for pretensioning the belt are constituted by a tension roller pressing on the belt during start-up, and ceasing its action in normal running.
  • the displacements of the means for pretensioning are synchronized with those of the means for positioning, and are, for example, directly controlled by the latter.
  • the means for pretensioning the belt are constituted by means for adjusting the separation of the idler rollers supporting the belt.
  • these means for positioning and pretensioning the belt are all combined with means of return (springs), to idle position, synchronized with the displacementof the belt, when the latter is brought into its normal working position.
  • FIGS. 1,2 and 3 illustrate a first example of embodiment
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate a second example of embodiment.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a feeder of the present invention in its idle position.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic side view of the feeder in its intermediate position during the launching of the thread.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic side view of the feeder at work, that is to say innorrnal operation.
  • FIGS. 4 and S show in schematic side view a second type of feeder accordingto the invention, in intermediate launching position (FIG. 4) and normal operation (FIG. 5).
  • EXAMPLE 1 As is seen in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the feeder has a driving cylinder 1 driven by suitable means, not shown, in con tinuous rotation about its longitudinal axis or shaft 2 which is fixed in space.
  • An endless belt 3 is borne by two idler rollers 4 and 5 which are mounted freely rotatable on two shafts 6 and 7 whose axes are parallel to axis 2 of the driving cylinder.
  • Shafts 6 and 7 are mounted on a supporting arm 8 which can pivot about an axis or shaft 9 fixed with respect to the driving cylinder 1.
  • the endless belt 3 is designed to be applied overa part of the perimeter of cylinder 1 in order to insure, in combination with the latter, the driving engagement and advancement of the thread 10 (FIG. 2) passing between them.
  • Support arm 8 is subject to the action of a spring 11 or any other equivalent device.
  • the spring 11 acts in compression on the end of arm 8, and its point of application 12 is fixed with respect to pivoting axis 9.
  • Spring 11 is positioned in such a way that, according to-the position of the feeder, (1) it keeps the assembly of belt 3 and rollers 4, 5 in open position with respect to the cylinder 1 when the feeder is idle (FIG. 1), (2) it participates in the maintenance of the assembly of belt 3 and rollers 4, 5 in a launching equilibrium position (FIG. 2), and (3) it insures the pressure of the belt on the cylinder 1 in normal operation (FIG. 3).
  • the supporting arm 8 is connected on the one hand, with means for positioning and pretensioning the belt when the latter is in launching position (FIG. 2) in contact along a small embraced are (A) and in light pressure with cylinder 1 and, on the other hand, is connected with means for return of the positioning and pretensioning means when the belt is brought into normal operating position (FIG. 3) in contact along an embraced arc (B) longer than are (A).
  • the means for positioning and pretensioning are formed principally, as follows.
  • an adjustable stop means or member 13 mounted on a pivoting arm 14 which, during the launching (FIG. 2), presses on the driving cylinder and determines the position of the belt with respect to the cylinder.
  • a roller 15 mounted on a pivoting arm 16 which during launching presses on the belt and determines the pressure exerted by the latter on the cylinder.
  • stop member 13 and the pressure exerted by roller 15 are adjustable and will be a function of the thread to be handled or treated. In each case they will be adjusted in such a way as to advance the thread only if the tension of the latter is below its breaking limit.
  • the arms 14 and 16 pivot around an axis or shaft 17 which is fixed with respect to the pivoting axis 9 of support arm 8.
  • Arm 14 is subject to the action of a spring 18 of adjustable force, whose point of application 19 is fixed with respect to axes 9 and 17 and is situated such that according to the orientation of arm 14 it will either insure the position of stop'member 13 during the launching, or repel or remove stop member 13 from its working position when the belt is put into normal operating position.
  • Arm 16 is likewise subject to the action of a spring 20 whose point of application 19' is fixed with respect to axes 9 and 17 and is situated in such a way that according to the orientation of arm 16 it will either insure the pressure of roller 15 during the launching, or repel or remove the roller 15 from its working position when the belt is put into normal working position.
  • a spring 20 whose point of application 19' is fixed with respect to axes 9 and 17 and is situated in such a way that according to the orientation of arm 16 it will either insure the pressure of roller 15 during the launching, or repel or remove the roller 15 from its working position when the belt is put into normal working position.
  • arms 14 and 16 could be made to pivot around different fixed axes.
  • This device of FIGS. 1-3 works as follows.
  • idle position (FIG. 1 with belt 3 and driving cylinder 1 separated
  • tensioner roller 15 is brought in contact with belt 3.
  • the assembly thus positioned is then brought into intermediate working position (FIG. 2) by simply pivoting arm 8 around axis 9.
  • This position is obtained by the pressure of stop member 13 on cylinder 1.
  • the belt embraces the driving cylinder only over an arc (A) of short length, and exerts on the latter a pressure determined principally by spring 20.
  • EXAMPLE 2 This example is illustrated by FIGS. 4 and 5. Accordingly to this method of embodiment, the feeder has, as in Example 1, a driving cylinder 21 moved by suitable means, not shown, in continuous rotation about its longitudinal axis or shaft 22 which is fixed in space. An endless belt 23 is supported by two idler rollers 24, 25 mounted freely rotatable on axes or shafts 26, 27 parallel to the axis 22 of the driving cylinder 21.
  • the means for positioning belt 23 are constituted by a stop member 28 which presses on driving cylinder 21 during start-up (FIG. 4) and is mounted at the end of an arm 29 pivoting around an axis or shaft 30.
  • the means for pretensioning the belt are constituted by a means for adjusting the interval (E) between the idler rollers 26, 27. This means for adjusting the interval is formed by an arm 31 pivoting about an axis or shaft 32, one end of which 33 is fixed to axis 27 of idler roller 25.
  • the means for positioning the belt, and the means for pretensioning are combined together by means of a spring 34 which tensions the belt.23 during the launching and serves as a means for return to idle position of the positioning stop member 28 when belt 23 is brought into normal working position (FIG. 5).
  • the position of arm 31 and consequently of roller 25 is determined by a stop element 35.
  • the devices according to the present invention have great advantages over those utilized heretofore and permit, among other things, launching or start-up, with out special precautions, of advancement of threads which it has been very difficult, even impossible, to work on modern machines for texturizing by false twist, owing to the breaks which occurred during start-up.
