Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for waxing a thread and, more particularly, to an apparatus for waxing a thread between a thread plying and spinning (twisting) device and a takeup bobbin.
  • annular body or paraffin in transfixed by a spindle and urged against a plate carried on the spindle.
  • the thread is passed between the plate and the spindle in a path tangent to the spindle and lying in a plane defined by the flat surface of the end of the wax body and the plate it abuts.
  • the wax is quickly used up, as the thread being waxed literally cuts into the wax body and frequently excises small pieces of wax which hang temporarily on the thread, thereafter falling off into the mechanism of the apparatus or rubbing off on the abutment.
  • the rubbing of the wax body on the plate makes this plate very messy so that it needs periodic cleaning.
  • each thread guide is mounted on a respective shaft parallel to the spindle.
  • These shafts are each arranged to one side of the spindle and each carries a rotatable sheavelike wheel which is rotatable and serves as a thread guide.
  • the one guide is located above the plane of the abutment and the other in this plane.
  • the spindle is provided with a drive pulley which is engaged by the thread to rotate this spindle and the wax body.
  • the spindle is of noncircular cross section in the region of the wax body and the hole through the body is similarly formed to prevent rotation of this wax body relative to its spindle.
  • the guide body which is offset to the abutment plane is formed with a continuous or endless circumferential groove which at one region lies to one side of the plane and at another region lies to the other side of the plane.
  • the apparatus according to the present invention waxes the thread to a degree dependent on the angle the thread assumes with respect to the above-defined plane, means being provided according to another feature of this invention to vary this angle.
  • the wax body does not rub against any moving parts of the device except the thread and the spindle; this spindle is removable so as to permit easy replacement of the wax body.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a thread spinning, waxing, and winding apparatus according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of the thread waxing part of the device of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the mounting spindle for the wax body of the device.
  • SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION As shown in FIG. I a two-ply filament coming from a spinning apparatus 10 as described in the above-cited copending patent application, or as described in the related copending commonly assigned application Ser. No. 364,552 filed May 28, 1973 by Aloys Grieve and entitled SPINNING APPARATUS FOR GLASS- FIBER YARN passes through a guide eye 12 in line with the rotation axis of the apparatus 10. Thereafter the thread 24 is fed to a waxing apparatus 14 described below after which it passes around a lead roller 16 and thence through a reciprocal distributor 18 onto a bobbin 22.
  • a drum 20 driven by a motor 19 and the bobbin 22 is carried on an arm 21 pivoted about a horizontal axis so that this bobbin bears with its weight on the drum 20 and is rotated thereby.
  • the roller 16, drum 20, and apparatus 14 are all carried on a fixed support 17.
  • the waxing device 14 shown more fully in FIGS. 2 and 3, comprises a support plate 48 secured to the support 17 and provided with tow bosses and 71 each formed with a hole carrying a respective shaft 68 and 69 which can be secured in the hole by a respective screw 73 and "74.
  • the rod 68 has an eccentric lower portion 66 on which is rotatably mounted a drum 28 formed with three guide grooves 72a, 72b, and 72c.
  • the shaft 69 rotatably carries a small wheel 34 having a circumferential guide groove 35.
  • the support plate 48 is also formed with a boss 49 formed in turn with a hole 51 in which a pair of roller bearings 46 are secured by means of snap rings 47 and a spacer 45.
  • a shaft 44 defining an axis A is secured to the inner races of the bearings 46 and is held in place by a plate 55 secured by a knurled screw 53 in the upper end of the rod 44.
  • the lower end of the rod 44 is snugly received in a hole 33 extending axially in a stepped rod 32 shown in more detail in FIG. 3.
  • This rod 32 has a region 36 of square section separated from a region 30 of a diameter equal to the diagonal dimension of the square region 36 by four shoulders 42. The corners of the square region 36 run into the round region 30. Beyond this round region 30 is another round region 29 to which another pully-like wheel 26 formed with a cir cumferential groove 26 is fixed by means of a screw 25.
  • An annular body 38 of wax formed with a central hole of prismatic section matching the region 36 is car ried on the rod 32.
  • This body 38 has one end 40 bearing against the shoulders 42 and defining with these shoulders 42 on rotation of the rods 44 and 32 a plane P orthogonal to the axis A.
  • the other axial end 64 of the body 38 is engaged axially by a circular disk 62 of the same diameter of the body 38 and pressed by a frustoconical compression spring 60 against the body 38 to urge it against these shoulders 42.
  • the other end of the spring 60 is braced against a plate 58 carried on the rod 44, and the extreme end of this spring 60 is engaged in a hole 59 in this plate 58 so as to link the spring rota tionally thereto.
  • the rod 44 is provided with a transverse pin 52 whose ends extend radially from the rod and engage in bayonet slots 54 of a bayonet coupling 50 securing the rod 32 to the rod 44. This allows the wax 38 to be changed readily.
  • the filament or thread is first wound clockwise, as shown in FIG, 1, around the pulley 26 rotationally linked to the wax body 38, thence counterclockwise around the drum 28 in one of the grooves 72ac.
  • the thread 24 is thence fed across the wax body 38 to the second guide roller 34.
  • the thread is fed at an angle a of about 30 to the plane P, and thence passes in the plane P to the roller 34.
  • this angle a will become more flat, but the thread 24 will always define an angle with the plane P as it comes from guide groove 72a.
  • the spring 60 As the wax body is worn away it is pushed down by the spring 60.
  • the thread 24 passes along the side of the spindle 32 that is rotating in a direction opposing the direction of advance or feed of the thread, shown by arrowheads on the thread line.
  • the thread 24 is pulled tangentially against the spindle 32 so that the wax 38 is worn down evenly right in to the center.
  • the only element engaged by the wax body 38 which is not moving with it is the thread 24. This is the only element which is supposed to be coated with wax, so that the device is very neat,
  • the thread When the thread needs intermittent waxing, that is when the thread is not to be waxed continuously or uniformly along its whole length, it is fed from one of the grooves 72b or 73c of the drum 28 to the body 38.
  • These grooves are both helical on the drum, the groove 72b having a wider variation, and both grooves are continuous.
  • the groove 720 for exampie, can be ar ranged so that it is bisected by the plane P, in which case the thread 24 is only waxed periodically.
  • the groove could be arranged entirely above the plane P, so that the thread will be fed to body 38 at a constantly changing angle (1. thereby giving it a nonuni form but periodically varying coating of wax I claim: 1.
  • a support a spindle on said support having and rotatable about a longitudinal axis and provided with an abutment defining on rotation a plane perpendicular to said axis; an annular body ofwax transfixed by said spindle and lying to one side of said plane, said body having one axial end at said plane bearing against said abutment, said thread passing over said one end;
