BOBBIN OR SPOOL WINDING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 789,017, dated May 2, 1905.

Application filed April 12, 1902. Serial No. 102,679.

T 0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J OSHUA GARsED, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Bobbin or Spool Winding Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain improve ments in machines for winding yarn upon straight or conical tubes.

The object of my invention is to so construct such a machine that yarn can be wound simultaneously upon two or more tubes, either straight or conical, and in which yarn can be Wound upon a straight and a conical tube at the same time.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of myimproved machine. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view on the line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end view looking in the direction of the arrow 3, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line 4 4, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a view looking in the direction of the arrow 5, Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a view of the mandrel with a tube in position. Fig. 7 is a view of a conical bobbin, and Figs. 8 and 9 are views of the machine arranged to wind four bobbins.

A is the frame of the machine, having two housings A, in which are bearings for the several shafts of the machine.

B is the driving shaft of the machine, mounted in suitable bearingsin the housings A, and on this shaft are two pulleys I) b, one being fast on the shaft and the other loose.

C is a shifter-rod having belt-shifting fingers c, and on this rod is a spring 0, bearing against a collar 0 on the rod to force the rod in one direction.

C is a lever pivoted to one of the housings A and arranged to enter a notch in the rod, so as tohold it against the pressure of the spring.

Any suitable shifting mechanism may be provided without departing from my invention.

The driving-shaft B is geared to the shaft D by gear-wheels b and (1.

(Shown clearly in Fig. 5.) The shaft D is mounted in bearings on the housing A in a similar manner to the shaft B. On the shaft B, between the housings, is a spiral cam B, and on the shaft D is a spiral cam D. These are preferably arranged with their axes in the same plane, so as to allow a block E to be shifted into engagement with either one or the other of the said cams, as shown in Fig. 4. The block E is mounted upon the slide E, which travels in a uideway formed by plates a a, bolted to the frame A. Said plates, whose edges are undercut, as shown in Fig. 4, extend longitudinally of the frame and permit motion of the slide E in a line substantially parallel with the lines of the cam-shafts B and D, it being noted that the guide so formed by the frame and said plates supports the slide independently of said cam-shafts. present instance the slide has beveled sides, which underlap bevel-plates secured to the frame A.

Pivoted at e to the slide E is a lever F, having one arm f, which engages the block E, and having another arm j" which travels in suitable ways in the fixed frame G. Detachably secured to the center of this frame is a bar g, held in place by confining-screws g, Figs. 2 and 4, and near each end of the fixed frame springs G extend across the ways. These springs are so placed as to provide cam surfaces for the purpose of shifting the lever F from one side of the bar 9 to the other, so as to throw the block E either into engagement with the spiral cam B or the spiral cam D. The bar g is made detachable, so that bars of different length can be secured to the fixed frame G when it is desired to accommodate the movement to tubes of different lengths.

Extending from the slide E is an arm 0, the outer end of which is secured to a rod H, having its bearings in brackets a, projecting from the housings of the frame, and on this rod are the guide-arms h h, which guide the thread onto the tubes, these arms being free to turn on said rod H as an axis. It will be In the noticed that the body portion of each guidearm h is formed with alternate notches, as shown, so that the thread can be passed over .or under the several bars formed by the eters can be substituted therefor.

On the shaft J is a cone-pulley J, and on i the shaft I is a cone-pulley I reversed, as

end of the other.

clearly shown in Fi 1, so that the narrow end of one cone-pul ey is opposite the wide Extending around these pulleys is a driving belt L, which can be shifted to any point desired on the cone-pul leys by a shifting-arm L, through which the belt passes in the present instance. The upper end of this arm is mounted on the screwrod L secured to the housings A by nuts Z Z. 1 The arm L can be shifted on the screw and secured in its adjusted position by the nuts Z. The lower end of the arm is recessed and travels 'on a rail g on the fixed frame G, Fig. 4.

The shaft J is mounted in adjustable bearings j, which can be moved toward and from the shaft I by means of the adjustingscrews 7 3' Thus it will be seen that the coarse adjustment can be made by changing the gears 76 and j, while the fine adjustment can be made by shifting the belt L- on the cone-pulleys J I.

On each end of the shaft I is an eXpansible tubular structure I (shown in detail in Fig. 6,) which can be expanded by the screwlug 'i, so as tov couple the tube or spool on w 'ch the material is wound to the shaft I.

The winding can be either of the form shown in Fig. 1, in which the bobbin is of an even diameter throughout, or as shown in Fig. 7, where the bobbin is in the form of a cone, thisv latter being formed in the same manner as that ordinarily employed except that the tube or spool is in the form of a cone instead of being cylindrical.

The machine is so designed that a bobbin can be wound on one end of the tube-shaft having an even diameter, and a conical bobbin can be wound on the other end of the shaft, in the latter case the yarn-guiding arms turning on their supporting-rods, so as to remain in contact with or adjacent to the surface of the bobbin to be wound.

The machine is simple in construction, can be substantially and accurately made, and the parts can be readily adjusted for difierent lengths of bobbin or for different speeds, as desired. The particular wind shown in the drawings I lay no claim to, as this form of wind is old.

Figs. 8 and 9 are views showing a machine having two sets of shafts I I to receive four tubes, so that the machine can wind four spools or bobbins at once. In this instance the intermediate shaft J 2 has a double-cone pulley J and the tube-shafts each have a cone-pulley belted to the double-cone pulley and independent belt-shifting mechanism may be used, so that one tube-shaft can wind a different number of yarn from the other tube-shaft. Guides it lead the yarn to the I several tubes, as shown. can be removed and others of different diam- I claim as my invention 1. The combination 1n a windln -mach1ne,

. of a winding-shaft having means for holding a receptacle for yarn, means for driving said shaft, a longitudinally-movable rod having bearings in the frame, a thread-guide carried by the rod, and means for reciprocating said rod, said means including a pair of cams and a structure having a block supported so as to be free to slide into engagement with either cam, said structure being connected with the rod and having means for periodically sliding the blook to reverse the direction of motion of said rod, substantially as described.

2. A machine for winding yarn having a plurality of winding-shafts, driving mechanism therefor, a plurality of cams, means for o erating the same, a slide free to. move on t e frame of the machine, a block carried by the slide and placed so as to be free toengage either of the cams, a lever engaging said block, a fixed structure carried by the frame of the machine and engaging one arm of the lever, the second arm of the lever engaging said block, a rod connected to the slide, and thread-guides operated by the rod, substantially as. described.

3-. The combination in a winding-machine of two shafts each having a. spiral cam, means for imparting motion to said shafts, a slide having a supporting-guide independent of said shafts, a block on the slide, means for shifting said block into engagement with either of the cams to reverse the movement of the slide in its guide, said means including a lever pivoted to the slide, ways for one of the arms of said lever, thread-guides connected to the slide, a winding-shaft and means for supporting and turning the same, substantially as described.
