Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Disclosed is a spindle mounting means carried in part by the spindle rail in the form of a convex spherical seat surface at the spindle receiving orifice and more than two joining holes thereabout which are threaded, and in part by the spindle assembly in the form of an encircling mounting member rigidly fixed thereto having a complementary convex seat surface for abutment with therail seat and a laterally extending flange extending outwardly from the seat, the flange having a similar number and spacing of joining holes which are not threaded but are of larger diameter than the joining holes of the rail, and a similar number of joining and fixing members in the form of bolts which are passed through the wider flange holes and threaded and tightened into the rail holes, whereby spindle plumbing using this construction is achievable within five to fifteen seconds versus five to fifteen minutes with prior art constructions.
  • This invention relates to spindle mounting means carried in part by a spindle assembly and in part by a spindle rail of a textile yarn processing machine for the accurate and rapid plumbing of the spindle blade vertical and axially central to a vertically traversible spinning or twister ring such that the latter is concentric thereto.
  • the vertical support members are usually plumbed to be precisely vertical, and longitudinal and lateral cross-members are usually leveled to be horizontal.
  • spindle rail extending longitudinal the machine
  • ring rail another longitudinal cross-member, which however is supported for vertical movement
  • ring rail each rail being substantially horizontally parallel the other and bearing at spaced intervals therealong corresponding axially concentric orifices about vertical axes at said intervals to respectively receive therein spindle assemblies and ring and traveler assemblies for mounting such that each ring upon vertical traverse is concentric the vertical axis of the spindle blade of its assembly.
  • the aforesaid members included an upper one bearing a lower concave seat surface which member was keyed to the spindle assembly in encircling arrangement thereto to prevent relative rotation therebetween, and a lower one loosely encircling the lower portion of the spindle assembly and positionable on the spindle rail for clamping thereto, the lower member bearing an upper convex seat surface for abutment with the concave seat and adjustable movement of the latter for tilting the spindle assembly in a plumbing operation.
  • the foregoing construction known as the New Era Spindle in the art afforded significant reductions in time required to plumb spindle blades over that previously known'
  • the New Era spindle construction was rarely used for the heavier constructions required of twister spindles because of the lock nut type of adjustments which it required and the slippage problems on tightening; further, in twister applications, wherein such machines employ the lappet type of ring holder'which itself is adjustable, the need for such a type of expensive and many-component spindle assembly mount was minimal.
  • the spindle is attached to the spindle rail by a locking ring, held in place by three cap screws.
  • the convex surface of the spindle mount fits into the concave top of the locking ring. Insert the assembled spindle and ring upward through the hole in the spindle rail. Place the cap screws through the holes provided in the spindle rail and thread them into the locking ring beneath the rail. Run them all the way in, but do not tighten.
  • Constructions of the prior art require a horizontally disposed spindle rail which has an upper surface with a high degree of planarity and is horizontally level; they have mounting means having components which can positionally shift during the plumbing operation and locking into position; often they require that adjustments and locking be effected from beneath the spindle rail, while holding components above the spindle rail such as the blade in the desired plumbed position and concomittantly watching the bubble level to acertain any deviations during adjustment and locking from such plumbed position; all of the foregoing resulting in the need to expend from 5 to minutes in plumbing of each spindle assembly with use of the highly planar and horizontal spindle rail.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide spindle mounting means for the rapid and simple plumbing of its associated spindle assembly axially central to its associated ring in the range of vertical reciprocatory traverse of the latter, despite an imprecise planarity andfor tilting from the horizontal of its associated spindle rail.
  • the direct joining of spindle assembly and rail are effected by screw bolts, nuts and bolts or cap screws between a flange, extending laterally outwardly from the convex seat of the spindle assembly, and the spindle rail itself.
  • plumbing of a spindle assembly consumes but five to fifteen seconds, and tilting and locking adjustments may be made entirely from above the spindle rail reducing the tedium otherwise involved and errors which otherwise may occur thereby.
  • the present mounting means further provides the advantage of being employable, in various embodiments, with either top or bottom entry spindle assemblies with equal efficacy, whereas prior art constructions required usage only with one type of entry spindle assembly. Beyond these, the present construction may, as shall be explained, be employed with spindle rails which are not precisely horizontal and with an imperfect degree of planarity of their top surface.
  • Adjustability of the spindle assembly, according to the invention, to the axially central position of the spindle blade relative its associated ring through the latters range of traverse, is simply, rapidly and easily achieved with the present construction.
  • the bolt holes in the spindle assembly flange and those in the spindle rail, while of similar plurality (more than two) and spacing are of different diameters; the holes in one closely confine the joining bolts so that there is no play between that one and the bolts while the holes in the other are of larger diameter so that one may, before tightening fully the bolts, tilt the assembly to the desired plumbed orientation about the spherical center of the aforesaid seats despite any imperfection in horizontal orientation or planarity of the spindle rail and by tightening the bolts sequentially and fully fix the spindle assembly at such orientation.
  • FIGURE in front elevation partially fragmented, shows the present spindle mounting means employed with a top entry, bottom drive spindle assembly mounted on a non-horizontal spindle rail.
  • a typical top entry, bottom drive twister spindle assembly is shown mounted on a spindle rail 12 of a twister machine (not otherwise shown), by mounting means of the invention, rail 12 being tilted somewhat from a precisely horizontal orientation as may occur through adjustment errors in its erection or by uneven settling of the floor beneath the machine.
  • Assembly is designated top entry because it is passed through the receiving orifice 14 of rail 12 from above the rail, and bottom drive because its whirl 16 is below rail 12, and at the bottom of assembly 10.
  • the spindle blade 18 of assembly 10 is shown as plumbed axially central to its associated vertically traversible ring 20 in the range of such traverse from elevation designated A to elevation B, despite non-horizontal disposition of rail 12, by the present mounting means.
  • Elevation A is the elevation of the lowest wrap of yarn to be wound by assembly 10 and ring 20.
  • a mounting member Rigidly fixed to assembly 10 is a mounting member, generally designated 22, of the invention having a spherical surface 24 seat which is convex having its spherical center on the axis of rotation of blade 18 at elevation A; extending laterally outwardly from surface 24 is a flange 26 formed with a plurality of holes 28, 30, 32 therethrough spaced from one another about surface seat 24, hole 32 being behind assembly 10 as shown.
  • rail 12 in the portion around orifice 14 has a spherical concave surface seat of complementary arcuity to convex surface 24 of member 22 for abutment therewith asshown, and its spherical center being coincident with that for surface 24; further, said portion of rail 12 also has formed therethrough a similar plurality of holes 36, 38 and 40 of similar spacing therebetween as holes 28, 30 and 32 about seat surface 34; however, it is to be noted that the cross sectional diameter of flange holes 28, 30 and 32 is larger than that of rail holes 36, 38 and 40, and also the walls defining the latter set of holes are threaded.
  • Joining the spindle assembly 10 directly to rail 12 is effected by a similar plurality of bolts 42, 44 and 46 respectively having bolt heads 48, 50 and 52 and threaded portions 54,
  • assembly 10 is passed into rail orifice 14 from the top of rail 12 such that convex seat surface 24 abuts concave seat surface 34. Assembly 10 is then rotated until respectively spaced flange holes 28, 30 and 32 are aligned with their counterpart holes 36, 38 and 40 in rail 12, and bolts 42, 44 and 46 are inserted through the flange holes and are threaded into the rail holes.
  • assembly 10 is tilted to a substantially vertical orientation by rotating it about the aforesaid spherical center of surfaces 24 and 34, whereupon bolts 42, 44 and 46 are successively tightened to secure assembly 10 to rail 12 in the plumbed orientation.
  • bolts 42, 44 and 46 are successively tightened to secure assembly 10 to rail 12 in the plumbed orientation.
  • the bolts are first threaded into holes as first mentioned until there is no manual play of the assembly, and then while watching the level bubble, as appropriate one and another of the bolts are further tightened until an exact centering of the bubble is achieved.
  • ring 20 is held in a lappet type ring holder secured to a ring rail or bar, such holder having previously been leveled to an exact horizontal disposition.
  • the axis of the ring generated as a line in the range of its vertical traverse is not precisely vertical but may be at an angle, a small angle to true vertical.
  • the present invention contemplates yet other embodiments form that shown and described to achieve the present objects and advantages.
  • the mounting member would be positioned with its convex surface facing upward to abut a concave spherical surface carried by the spindle rail at its under surface.
  • the bolt holes in the rail may be threaded and of smaller cross sectional diameter than those corresponding ones in the flange of the mounting member and threaded, with the bolt heads abutting the under flange surface and the ends of the threaded portions having slots for bolt tightening using a screw driver from above the spindle rail.
  • the bolts when permissible, may be tightened from below the rail by a wrench.
  • the holes in the flange may be threaded and those of the rail may be of larger diameter and tightening may be achieved with a screw driver as described.
  • a screw driver as described.
  • threaded holes and wider holes and threaded bolts one may employ the present mounting means with top or bottom entry and/or drive assemblies.
  • Other embodiments may employ nonthreaded holes, in both the flange and rail one set of which having cross sectional diameters greater than the other, and the other having diameters just sufficient to receive therethrough joining members such as bolts with threaded ends to receive lock nuts.
  • the mounting member since the mounting member is always rigidly fixed to the spindle assembly, it may be considered to be a part of the spindle assembly housing which is to say a non-rotatable member of the spindle assembly.
  • the spherical center about which the spindle assmblyis located on the axis of of spindle blade rotation at the elevation of that at which the lowest wrap of yarn is to be wound by the spindle assembly which is to say that it is at the lowest elevation of the ring in its range of traverse, because such location of the center makes it most simple to plumb the assembly, such center alternately may reside on the rotational axis at any elevation within such range and preferably in the range of the lower half of the spindle blade for in the latter instances plumbing is attainable.
  • the surface may be on an insert placed into the spindle receiving orifice of the rail and secured to the rail thus also to be considered to be carried by the rail.
  • a textile yarn processing machine having a substantially horizontal spindle rail fixed longitudinally thereto; a vertically reciprocable, substantially horizontal ring rail interconnected with said machine for said vertical reciprocatory traverse relative thereto and extending substantially parallel and above said spindle rail; a spindle assembly joined to said spindle rail having a vertically disposed spindle blade with a similarly oriented .axis of rotation; and a ring and ring traveler assembly joined to said ring rail for traverse therewith disposed in a substantially horizontal orientation encircling said spindle blade in the range of said traverse; the improvement comprising:
  • spindle assembly mounting means for directly mounting said spindle assembly upon said spindle rail such that said blade is oriented axially central to said ring assembly throughout said range of vertical traverse; said mounting means comprising:
  • a mounting member fixed to said spindle assembly, bearing a spherical convex surface encircling said assembly and extending outwardly thereof, and a mounting flange extending laterally outward from said surface;
  • a spherical concave surface carried by said spindle rail of complementary arcuity to said convex surface of said mounting member for adjustable abutment therewith and defining a receiving orifice through said spindle rail for said spindle assembly; and joining means a. for directly joining said mounting member flange to said spindle rail,
  • said joining means includes a portion of said spindle rail circumferential said concave spherical surface carried thereby, formed with a plurality in excess of two holes therethrough, said holes forming a set thereof and being spaced from one another about said concave surface,
  • adjustable joining and fixing members are threaded bolts, the bolt heads of which are engageable with one of said portions of said spindle rail and flange and the threaded portions of which are engageable with the threaded walls of said second set of holes, wherein said portion so engageable and said threaded walls are in different ones of said portions of said spindle rail and said flange.
