Definitions
- the wire was wound on drums and it was therefore required to provide both a draft or pulling unit, usually in the form of a conical Winch, and a take-up unit consisting of a winder driven from the machine itself through an adjustable friction means or from a slip-drive motor which would be capable of matching the velocity to that of the winch so as to maintain a predetermined tension on the wire, since the angular speed of the winder has to decrease relatively to that of the winch as the drum is gradually filled.
- a draft or pulling unit usually in the form of a conical Winch
- a take-up unit consisting of a winder driven from the machine itself through an adjustable friction means or from a slip-drive motor which would be capable of matching the velocity to that of the winch so as to maintain a predetermined tension on the wire, since the angular speed of the winder has to decrease relatively to that of the winch as the drum is gradually filled.
- excentered element which is adapted progressively to displace the turns all around the space between the two cylinders.
- the apparatus is contained in a casing secured to a fixed gentry beneath which the barrels to be filled are consecutively introduced.
- Fig. 1 is an overhead view of the apparatus
- Fig. 2 is a side view, with the barrel and easing of the feeder shown in axial section;
- Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 illustrate the system whereby the filled barrels may be interchanged in operation.
- the wire fills the space between the two cylinders.
- the present invention provides a remedy to this drawback and relates to apparatus of the kind including a barrel and winding winch, the invention essentially residing in the fact that the take-up barrel and the winch drum are stationary and a distributor unit'for feeding and guiding the wire (or the like) is rotatably mounted over said barrel.
- an apparatus comprises a stationary take-up barrel and the rotary feeder is disposed coaxially above such barrel, the rotary feeder including on the one hand a winch drum fixedly arranged relatively to the barrel, and on the other hand a table rotatably mounted on a hollow shaft coaxial with the barrel and the winch drum, said table carrying guide pulleys for guiding the wire, cable or the like about the winch drum prior to depositing it in the barrel.
- the invention provides means for bringing the wire or cable to a pre-wound condition so that the turns
- the above mentioned rotary table fully described hereinafter.
- the feeder unit carried by a gantry 3 comprises a fixed winch drum 4 having two vertically spaced grooves i.e. a lower groove 5 and an upper groove 6.-
- the winch drum is rigidly connected with the gantry 3 by a part 7. Extending through the assembly is 'a hollow shaft 8 driven in rotation through pulleys 9 and 11 and belt 12 from 'a motor 10.
- the feeder unit moreover includes a turntable 13 driven by shaft 8, and drive pulleys which may be grouped in two sets.
- the drive pulleys are mounted in angled condition on shafts journalled in supports rigid with the turntable 13.
- These pulleys comprise: the pulley 14 v located under turntable 13 tangentially to the axis thereof, the pulley 15 mounted above turntable 13 and having a common tangent with the upper groove 6 of the'winch drum, and the pulley 16 mounted above turntable 13 and also having a common tangent with the upper winch 3 groove 6.
- the pulleys are horizontal and regu larly spaced above turntable 13so as to tension an auxiliary belt 17 trained around a semi-circumference of the lower groove 5 of winch 4.
- a cablerectifying system consisting of a set of small pulleys 18 arranged to guide the cable over' a predetermined path.
- the second set of pulleys in the illustrated instance consists of the pulleys 19a, 19b, 19ci'
- the device operates in the following way: 1
- the cable 20 after having passed over the idler pulle 21 moves vertically downwards through shaft 8 and over a path as follows: drive pulley 14, drive pulley 15, semicircumference of upper winch groove 5 guided by belt 17 stretched by pulleys 19a, 19b, 190.
- the cable, pre-shaped into coils passes through the slot or aperture 22 of turntable 13 and forms into the coils 23 which flow into the bottom of barrel or cylinder 1.
- the whole feeder unit is. enclosed in a. casing, 33' the base-of which. is-formed as a cylinder. 34 slightly less in diameter thanthat oflthe barrel 1 so that the turns will not be liable to catch but will drop freely into the barrel.
- the barrels are provided with. bases 2 (Fig. 2) which allow their. being handled with a. hoisting jack.
- Thebasemoreover. carries-two outwardly directed angleirons40.
- the barrels may if desired be formed with sets-of apertures (notshown) in their. side walls for. inspecting at any time the amount of cable that has been wound on or off.
- a pivotal frame 41. is mounted beneath the draft system and'carries a pair of fork members 42..adapted to berrotated about the shaft 43 and to receive a pair of barrels 1 and In between. the arms thereof.
- One barrel say 1 is at any time positioned in vertical axial alignment with. the system described above. so asto be ina position to receivethe cable or wire, while the. other. barrel laisthen. positioned in front of the system.
- The. assemblyincluding arm. 41. and forks 42 is adapted tobe rotated 180 about the shaft 43 so as to change the. particular. barrel in receiving position. Means may. beprov-ided for latching. the assembly in each of its operative positions so as to prevent inadvertent displacement of. abarrel. during loading thereof.
- the cylinder. 34 serves as a storage means.
- Thiszcylinder: as. is clearly shown. in. Fig. 3 is provided with a pair of plates 46 movably fitted to it.
- a stationary vertical hollow cylinder stationary drum means supported coaxially with and spaced above said cylinder and'adapted to receive said element around the periphery thereof, an apertured member rotatable betweenv said drum and cylinder about the common axis thereof and arranged for having said element fed through the-aperture therein, pulley means carried by said member and adapted for guiding engagement with said ele ment,.. and means for rotating said member.
- a stationary vertical hollow cylinder a stationary drum supported coaxially with and spaced above the cylinder and adapted to receive said element around the periphery thereof, a-n apertured member rotatable between the drum and cylinder about the common axis thereof and arranged for having said element fed from the drum through the aperture in said member for coiled insertion into the cylinder, pulley means carried by said member and adapted for engagement by the element to guide the element towards said drum, flexible means carried by said member and engaging said drum periphery to apply said element-thereabout, and means for rotating said member.
- a stationary vertical hollow cylinder a stationary drum sup ported coaxially with and spaced above the cylinder and adaptedtoreceive said element about the periphery thereof, an apertured member rotatable between the drum and cylinder about the common axis thereof and arranged for: having said element fed from said drum throughtheaperture in said member for coiled insertion into the cylinder, first pulley means carried by said member and adapted for engagement by the element to guide the element towards said drum, further pulley means carried by said member, and a flexible means trained about said further pulley means and engaging said drum. periphery for applying said element thereagainst.
