Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Rotatable bobbin creel for stretch-texturing machines arranged to support a number of bobbins at different vertical levels for shifting from positions within the creel to positions extending outwardly of the creel, the creel being further arranged with a segment-shaped unoccupied space for operator access.
  • the present invention relates to a rotatable bobbin creel, and more particularly to such a device for use with a stretch-texturing machine.
  • the bobbin creel according to the present invention is characterized by a support mounted rotatably on a stationary foot, the support having a vertical central shaft, a plurality of vertical studs arranged at annular distances on a circle concentric with the central shaft, which studs are fixed by means of connecting elements mounted on the central shaft so that an open circular sector is formed, as well as bobbin support means arranged on the vertical studs on various levels, each comprising a bobbin stacking pin, and means allowing the support means to be shifted to present the bobbins outwardly of the creel.
  • the bobbin support means may take the form of levers mounted to pivot in a horizontal plane preferably about an axis coinciding with the longitudinal axis of respective studs; and in another embodiment, such means may comprise tubes rotatable about horizontal axes extending between adjacent studs.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bobbin creel according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the bobbin creel of FIG.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating the arrangement of a plurality of the bobbin creels according to the present invention along the textile machines;
  • FIG. 4 is a top plan view of a portion of the creel of the present invention taken along the lines A A of FIG. 5, and illustrates a modified form of bobbin support means;
  • FIG. 5 is a view taken along the line B B of FIG. 4.
  • the rotatable bobbin creel consists of a stationary base 1 having a flat track surface I and a journal 23 on which a hub 22 is rotatably supported.
  • the hub 22 receives and is rigidly connected to the lower end of the central shaft 2.
  • a sector shaped support 4 is fixed on hub 22 by means of spokes 3, and vertical studs 5 are arranged on the support 4.
  • the studs 5 are kept in place by rods 6 fixed in the middle and at the upper end of the central shaft 2 and by sector shaped connection parts 7 so that an open sector is formed, the angle a of which is approximately as shown in FIG. 2.
  • Such an open sector is suitable for the use of bobbins with diameters of up to 400 mm.
  • the open sector may have an angle a of up to about whereby improved accessibility of the individual bobbins is achieved.
  • each hinge 8 can be shifted along its respective stud 5 and comprises two bearings 9, 9' arranged at a certain vertical distance from each other and embracing the stud 5.
  • the levers, 10, 11, 12 and 13 at their end have a resilient pressure piece which can, if necessary, be arrested on the studs 5 between the bearings 9, 9' of the hinges 8.
  • levers on each level are hinged on similar sides and those on adjacent levels are hinged on opposite sides so that all the levers which are situated on the same level can all be swivelled outwardly in the same annular direction; the levers situated on adjacent levels, however, being swivellable outwardly in opposite annular directions.
  • a thread guide 17 is provided on the central shaft 2 opposite each bobbin 14 on the same levels as levers 11 and 13.
  • the filaments l8 drawn off the bobbins of spun filaments 14 overhead are passed through the threadguides 17, led upwardly along the central shaft 2 and, after leaving the rack, reach the stretch-texturing machine via further thread-guide elements (not shown). If the contents of filaments of a bobbin 14 is exhausted, thereserve bobbin 15 situated thereunder is doffed, the filament end of which is knotted with the filament end of bobbin 14. Whereas the stacking pins of levers 11 and 13 for the bobbins 14 extend horizontally, the stacking pins for the reserve bobbins are arranged on the levers l0, 12 with a certain angle of inclination so that the bobbins 15 are inclined to provide the same filament removal angle as with bobbins 14.
  • the level of the levers 10, 11, 12 and 13 can be altered according to the desired operating level by appropriate shifting of the hinges 8, and the levers can be swivelled to both sides by angles of up to 150 without causing interruption of operation.
  • the sector of the creel to be fed is turned towards the passage for the operating staff whereupon the corresponding levers, for example 12 and 13, are swivelled to the left and to the right as can be seen from FIG. 2.
  • the bobbins l4, 15 are stacked onto the creel from the passage and then the levers 12, 13 swivelled back and locked on the support rods by any suitable means.
  • the end of the bobbin 14 is knotted with the filament end of reserve bobbin 15 and the bobbin creel turned back into the starting position, i.e. with the open sector facing the staff passage.
  • the person operating the machine Upon insertion of the filaments into the stretchtexturing machine, the person operating the machine stands in the free sector for access to the bobbins and the thread-guides.
  • the individual bobbin creels 19 according to FIG. 1 may be situated (a) between the stretch-texturing machine 20 opposite each other in rows, or (b) in rows displaced with respect to each other, the arrangement (b) being still less spaceconsuming than the arrangement (a).
  • Each stretchtexturing machine 20 is divided by dotted lines into individual fields 21 with, for example, filament processing stations on each side, and one bobbin creel helps operating one field 21 on one side of the machine.
  • the bobbin creel may be rotated about the central shaft 2 to the left and to the right by l50 without causing interruption of operation due to interwinding of the removed filaments.
  • the bobbin creel described thus far occupies relatively less space than creels which preceded it.
  • bobbin support means comprising rods rotatable about horizontal, longitudinal axes for supporting the stacking pins, instead of the levers 10, ll, 12 and 13.
  • these rods may have support parts on which are arranged the stacking pins extending outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the rod.
  • stops may be provided on the vertical studs for limiting the rotation of the rods about their longitudinal axes.
  • rods or tubes 30 extending horizontally between the studs and rotatable about their longitudinal axes. These rods or tubes 30 are supported in bearing elements 31 provided with corresponding bores and fixed on the studs 5 at the desired level by means of set screws 36 so that the tubes can be positioned at different vertical levels along the studs. In the middle of each rod 30, there is fixed a support part 32 on which the stacking pin 33 carrying the bobbin 14 or is arranged in offset relation to the longitudinal axis of rod 30. Each rod 30 has an operating lever 34 for rotating the same about its longitudinal axis.
  • Rotatable bobbin creel for stretch-texturing machines, comprising; a rotatable support (3, 4, 22), a stationary base (1) supporting said rotatable support, said base having a vertical central shaft (2), a plurality of vertical studs (5) spaced annularly with respect to said central shaft, connecting means (6) extending between said central shaft and said studs, said studs and connecting means defining an unoccupied segment-shaped space in the creel, bobbin support means (10, ll, 12, 13, 30) arranged on said vertical studs (5) on various levels and bobbin pins (33) carried by said bobbin support means, said bobbin support means being moveable to present said bobbin pins outwardly of the creel.
  • hinges (8) are shiftably mounted on said vertical studs and said bobbin support means are swivellable levers (10, ll, l2, l3) fixed on said hinges.
  • each of said swivellable levers (10, l1, 12, 13) comprises at its end a resilient pressure piece (16) which is lockable with one of said stud rods (5).
  • Rotatable bobbin creel for stretch-texturing machines according to claim 1, wherein said bobbin support means comprise rods (30) extending between adjacent studs (5) and said rods being rotatable about their longitudinal axes.
  • each rod (30) comprises a support part (32) and wherein a l0.
