Definitions

  • This invention relates to that kind of apparatus for rotating hanks during dyeing, finishing and the like wherein each hank is suspended by means which rotate it.
  • the said means consisted of a bobbin or creel either rotated about its axis and thus merely rotated thehank, or it revolved about another axis without independent rotation about its own axis and thus not only rotated the hank but also swung the hank upwardly, downwardly and laterally.
  • the said means are liable to catch and lap loose ends and thereby entangle the hank, and in the case of delicate material, such as artificial silk, the said means have a tendency to cause the inside threads of the hankto pack and stick together and thereby prevent the results of the dyeing, finishing or other process from being uniform, in addition to rendering the separation of the threads difiicult when winding them from the hank.
  • the object of my invention is to overcome these defects.
  • the said apparatus comprises a plurality of non-rotatory members which extend through the hank and are adapted to move round a centre in such a manner as to raise the hank, carry it a distance laterally of the said centre and lower the hank repeatedly, thus causing the hanks to rotate in stages and to be moved from side to side without producing any rubbing or loose end catching action on the hanks.
  • the said non-rotatory members maycomprise g a pair of rods adapted to operate on the hanks in the hereinbefore stated manner by the employment in conjunction therewith, of a rod situated at the said centre.
  • the said non-rotatory members may comprise two pairs of rods adapted'toco operate with each other to operate in the hereinbeforestated manner.
  • the non-rotatory rods may move in circular or other orbits around the central rod. I attain this object by the means illustrated in the accompanying two sheets of drawings,where- 1n--- I Figure l is a. side view in section of an apparatus for rotating hanks.
  • V Figure 2' is a plan view thereof.
  • Figure 3 is a front View, partly in section, thereof, with parts in a different position.
  • Figure 4 is a side view of an apparatus for rotating hanks and illustrates another construction.
  • Figure 5 isa plan View of Figure 4.
  • Figure 6 is a front view, partly in section, with parts in a difierent position. 7
  • Figures '7, 8 and 9 are similar views to Figure 3, and show the same construction, but with the parts in different positions.
  • Figures 10, 11 and 12 are similar views to Figure 6 and show the same construction, but with the parts in different positions.
  • a two-part head 1 is adapted to be arranged at one side of a tank and is mounted on a rail 2 adapted to be raised and lowered by any suitable means, for example mechanical or hydraulic means.
  • a rotary drum 3 is mounted in the head 1 and has spur teeth 4 whereby it can be driven.
  • a rod 5 loosely engages central holes in the ends ofthe drum 3 and is held against axial movement by a shoulder 6, and a washer 7 and cross pin 8.
  • a rod 9 is loosely mounted in eccentrically arranged'holes in the ends of the drum 3 and has a cross head 10 fixed to it.
  • the rod 9 has a collar 11, and an arm 12 is fixed to the rod 9 by means of across-pin 13.
  • the arm 12 loosely engages an eye 14 provided on a bracket 15 on the rail 2.
  • the cross head 10 has a pair of parallel rods 16 mounted on it and secured against rotation by means of cross pins 17. Circular flanges 18 are provided on the pair of rods 16.
  • the two rods 16 pick up the hank from the stationary rod 5 whilst at one side thereof and carry the hank 19 laterally until they pass over and reach the other side of the rod 5 when they will deposit the hank 19 on the rod 5 to pass under the rod 5 back to the first named side where they will again pick up the hank 19 from the rod 5 and move it laterally thereof and again deposit on the rod 5.
  • the rods 16 are arranged in spaced relation and that they are in a plane substantially at right angles to the length of the hank which they support. As these rods move around the center 5 by reason of the rotation of the member 3, the cooperation of the rods 16 and the eye 14 serves to prevent any substantial revolution of the rods about their own center of revolution indicated at 9. It, therefore, follows as a matter of course that in order to hold the rods 16 in this position, there must be a relative rotation of the rods with respect to the member.
  • the hank 19 at each revolution of the drum 3 rests on the rod 5 at a different point along its surface, the distance between these points being proportionate to the throw of the rods 16.
  • the hank 19 is gradually turned and the whole action thereon is similar to that used by a person when moving the hank round by hand.
  • the action is free from the defects of a rotating or revolving creel and causes the skein to move without producing rubbing of the thread.
  • a head 20 is provided similar to the head 1 of Figures 1 to 3 and a rotary drum 21 is mounted therein similar to the drum 3 of Figures 1 to 3.
  • the ends of the drum 21 are provided with diametrically arranged holes through which extend rods 23 and 24.
  • the rod 23 is provided with a block 25 which is fixed to the rod by means of a cross pin 26.
  • the block 25 is provided with an arm 27 which is guided and slides in a stationary eye 28.
  • the rod 23 is geared to the rod 24 by means of a pinion 29 mounted on the rod 23 and meshing with a pinion 30 loosely mounted on a stud 31 provided on one end of the drum 21, the pinion 30 meshing with a pinion 32 provided on the rod 24.
  • the rod 24 is caused to participate in any absence of movement or in any movement of the rod 23.
  • the rod 23 has an arm 33 mounted on it and fixed to it by a cross pin 34 and the arm 33 has a rod 35 mounted on it and fixed thereto by means of a cross pin 36.
  • the two rods 23 and 35 are connected together at their extremities by a flange 37.
  • the rod 24 has an arm 38 provided on it and secured thereto by a cross pin 39.
  • the arm 38 carries a rod secured to it by a cross pin 41.
  • the rods 24 and 40 are connected at their extremities by a flange 42.
  • the rods 23, 24, 35 and 40 do not perform complete rotations about their axes but only perform a slight oscillatory movement about their axes during each revolution of the drum 21. This oscillatory movement is not detrimental and the extent thereof depends on the distance of the eye 28 from the rod 23, and can be reduced to a negligible amount by suitably increasing the said distance.
  • the end of the arm 12 or 27 may be connected to a radius rod mounted on a stationary part to assume a substantially horizontal position when the rod 12 or 27 is in the centre of its throw.
  • the end of the rod 12 or 27 may be weighted to an extent sufiicient to maintain the rods 16, or rods 23, 35, 22, 40 against rotation.
  • a rubber or metal tubular member may be provided on the rods 16 or each of the pairs of rods 23, 35 and 24, 40 to enclose them and extend from one rod to the other, whereby the surface acting on the hank is rendered more similar to the surface of a human hand.
  • a single member of oblate form in cross section may be employed instead of two rods.
  • An apparatus for rotating hanks during dyeing, finishing and the like including a rotary part, a mounting eccentrically mounted rotatively on said rotary part, hank-carrying means fixed on the mounting, and means to restrain rotation of said mounting on its own axis during its movement with said rotary part.
  • An apparatus for rotating hanks during dyeing, finishing and the like including a rotary drum, a member projecting axially from the drum and serving as a hank support, a shaft mounted for rotation in the drum beyond the center, hanksupporting rods carried by and fixed with respect to the shaft, means for rotating the drum to move the shaft throughout a path of revolution, an arm secured to and projecting from the shaft, and an eye in which the arm is positioned to prevent rotation of the shaft on its own axis during rotation of the drum,
  • An apparatus for rotating hanks during dyeing, finishing and the like comprising hank car rying means, an additional element for extension through a hank, means for compelling revolution of the hank carrying means about the additional element, and means for compelling a rotation of the hank carrying means relative to the additional element during such revolution whereby to maintain the'same point of said hank carrying means uppermost during movement of said means about said additional member.
