Definitions
- ABSTRACT A collection tube for collecting filamentary material, like glass strand or roving, into a wound package; the tube has apertured projections on its exterior surface for engagement with the interior layers of a package to inhibit movement of the package on the tube during formation of the package thereon.
- Another object of the invention is an improved collection tube for rotary collection of filamentary material into a wound package.
- Yet another object of the invention is a thin-walled collection tube having exterior apertured projections or bumps along its length for use on an expandable collet of a winder to inhibit slippage of a wound package on the collection tube during its build-up.
- FIG. 3 is a simplified end elevation view of the collet segments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to indicate their movement.
- the dashed lines indicate the extended position of the segments.
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged side elevation view of a portion of the collection tube shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- FIG. 8 is still another showing of another apertured projection.
- FIG. 11 is a side elevation view of glass filament forming apparatus for collection of glass strand into a wound package according to the principles of the invention.
- the collection tube shown in FIG. 1 is telescoped onto an expandable collet of a winder.
- a gathering shoe 18 above the winder 10 combines individual glass strands 20 from a source, such as a creel, into the filament bundle or roving 12.
- a roving traversing arrangement 22 of the winder l0 reciprocates the traveling roving 12 in a direction axially of the collecting package 14. So the roving 12 is distributed lengthwise of the package 14.
- the winder 10 can package linear textile material, such as the bundle 12 of glass strand 20, supplied from a variety of sources besides a creel. For example, it is possible to use the winder l0 and tube 16 in a fiber forming operation (see FIG. 10).
- a variable speed electric motor 26 within the winder 10 drives both the traversing arrangement 22 and the collet 24.
- sheaves 28 and 30 are fixed on the output shaft 32 of the variable speed electric motor 26; so the sheaves 28 and 30 rotate with the motor output shaft 32.
- a belt 34 connects the sheave 28 with a shaft 29 comprising a part of a drive system that moves the traversing arrangement 22; a belt 36 connects the sheave 30 with a drive system that rotates the collet 24. So the rotational speed of electric motor 26 determines the rotational speed of the collet 24 and speed of the traversing arrangement 22.
- the traversing arrangement 22 is held by a support 38 that is movably mounted on an upper horizontal tubular guide 40 and a lower horizontal guide member 42.
- the traversing arrangement 22 includes a guide 44 slidably held adjacent to the circumferential or lengthwise surface of the winding package 14 for engagement with the roving 12and means for reciprocating the is biased against the moving axial surface of the collect-.
- the winder also includescontrols that maintain a substantially uniform roving collection speed throughout formation of the'package 14. These controls are explained in US. Pat. No. 3,717,31l.
- the collet 24 is more clearly seen inFIG. 2.As illustreated, it includes a movable handle 70 at its free end and four movably mounted longitudinal leaves or segment members 72. Movement of the handle 70 about the axis of the mandrel (shown by the arrows in FIG. 2) moves the segment members radially inwardly or outwardly. So the collet 24 has two diameters: a smaller diameter, denoted in FIG. 3 by the reference D and a larger diameter, denoted in FIG. 3 by the reference D9.
- the collection tube 16 is telescoped onto the collet 24 with the segment members 72 in their retracted positions (diameter D).
- the handle 70 is turned to move the segment members radially outwardly to their fully extended or expanded condition (diameter (D to tightly secure the tube 16 thereon to prevent slippage of the tube 16 during package collection.
- casting method might'be used to form apertured pro-.
- the openings 80 and the cross section of the projections 78 are shown generally circular in shape.
- the apertured projections having a width (shown as W in FIG. 5) of from O.l to 0.5 inches and having a height (shown as h in FIG. 5) of from 0.05 to 0.25 inches have given good resultsin collection of larger size glass roving packages having a weight of from 200 to 600 pounds and a diameter of from 18 to 28 inches.
- Thetube 16 can be used to collect both larger as well assmaller packages.
- apertured projections. 78 of the tube 16 are formed of the. material of the wall 76 itself, raised por-.
- tions can be formed around openings on the exterior of a tube by joining raised portions of material, for example plactics, that is the same as or different from the material of the tube.
- tubes having a wall thickness of from 0.030 to 0.060
- the apertured projections 78 engage the interior filamentary layers of the roving package 14 as the package is being formed. And this engagement inhibits relative motion between the package 14 and the tube 16 during rotary collection of the roving 12.
- the tube 16 inhibits slippage between itself and the collet and itself and the package to promote a package position that is in fixed relationship with respect to the collet during package formation.
- the operator Upon completion of the package 14 the operator turns the handle 70 to move the segment members 72 to their retracted position.
- the openings 80 assist in releasing any sealing effect between the collet 24 and the tube 16.
- the package 14 can be removed from collet Upon removal of the package 14 from the collet 24, the operator collapses the tube 16 along its entire length generally as shown in FIG.'6.
- the openings 80 assist in releasing any sealing effect between the package 14 and the tube 16.
- the tube 16 begins to contract to resume its unstretched size; such contraction promotes release of the package 14 from the tube 16.
- the projections 78 in a sense, tend to effect, together with the tube contraction, a pushing of the tube 16 away from the package 14 generally as indicated in FIG. 6. So the operator can easily remove the tube 16 from the interior of the package 14.
- the operator can now put the same or a different tube 16 on the collet 24 to begin formation of another package.
- FIG. 7 shows a raised region 78' including individual projecting leaves or tapered members 90 and formed of the material ofa tube itself to define an opening 92.
- FIG. 8 shows a somewhat rectangular box-shaped raised portion or apertured projection 78" defining an opening 94 in the exterior lengthwise wall of a collection tube.
- FIG. 9 illustrates a portion of the circumferential wall of another tube according to the principles of the inventionv
- the portion includes an aperture 96 in the circumferential wall, but the projection is an annular raised portion 98 having an inside diameter larger than the diameter of the opening 96. So there is an annular region 100 between the opening 96 and the raised portion 98.
- FIG. 10 shows the raised portion 98 on another tube, but without an opening. The region 100 and opening 96 are replaced by a solid region 102.
- FIG. 11 illustrates apparatus according to the principles of the invention used in a continuous glass filament forming position.
- a container or feeder 110 holds a supply of molten glass.
- the container 110 may connect to a forehearth that supplies molten glass from a furnace or may connect to other molten supply means such as a melter that reduces glass marbles to a heat-softened condition.
- terminals 112 that connect to a source of electrical energy. Electrical current passing through the walls of the container 110 through the terminals 112 generates, heat by conventional resistance heating to maintain the molten glass in the container 110 at proper fiber-forming temperatures and viscosities.
- the conatiner 110 has a bottom wall 114 that includes orifices or passageways for delivering molten glass streams 116. As shown, the orifices in the bottom 1 14 comprise rows of depending orificed projections or tubular members 118.
- a nozzle 132 is near the bottom wall 114 and sprays water onto the newly formed advancing filaments 120 before the gathering shoe combines the filaments 120 into the strand 28.
- An applicator 136 supported within a housing 140 applies a liquid sizing or other coating material to the advancing filaments 120.
- the applicator is just above the gathering shoe 124. While the applicator 136 can be any suitable means known to the art, it is illustrated as an endless belt that moves to pass through liquid held in the housing 140. As the speeding filaments 120 travel across the surface of the applicator, some of the liquid material on the applicator transfers to them.
- the strand 128 collects as a wet wound package 144 on a winder 150.
- a strand traverse arrangement 152 moves the advancing strand back and forth lengthwide of the package 144 as the strand 28 winds on the collection tube 16.
- the tube 16 is telescoped over a man drel or collet 158; the collet 158 is journalled for rotation on the winder 150.
- a motor within the housing of the winder appropriately rotates the collet 58 and the traverse 152.
- the collet 158 in an expandable collet like that disclosed in US. Pat. No. 3,544,016. As more clearly seen in FIG. 11, the collet 158 includes fingers or segmented members 160 about its circumference and extending lengthwise thereof. These members 160 are mounted for limited radial movement and are spring biased radially outwardly as explained in US. Pat. No. 3,544,016.
- the depressed finger position provides a collet diameter slightly smaller than the size of the inside diameter of the tube 16.
- the fingers 160 are forced radially outwardly to a fully extended position during rotation to tightly engage the tube 16.
- To permit balanced operation of the collet during collection the tube 16 must permit the fingers 160 to move to their complete radial extension.
- a collection tube for use on a winder collet for rotary collection of filamentary material into a wound package comprising a thin walled tubular member having projections which are spaced axially and circumferentially one from another, each of which define an aperture in the wall thereof, interior filamentary layers of a wound package being engaged by the projections to inhibit relative motion between the package and the tubular member during rotary collection of the filamentary material.
- An apparatus for collecting filamentary material into a wound package comprising:
- each of the projections defining an aperture in its central region passing through the sleeve;
- tubular sleeve is elastically stretchable so that after being used in winding 8. package thexsleeve returns to its original shape and can thus be reused in winding another package.
