  • GUIDE FOR YARN WINDING SPOOL Filed Sept. 17, 1957 [-24 If My WW LQhM United States atent 2,973,155 V GUIDE FOR YARN WINDING SPOOL Louis Vincent Marie Rochegude, Valence, France, as-
  • This invention relates to the guides used to retain the ends of the spindles adapted to support the receiver tubes, spools or bobbins, in yarn winding, twisting or doubling machines.
  • the yarn package formed on a tube, spool or bobbin is generally driven by a rotating drum with which it is maintained in frictional engagement.
  • the ends of the spindle which supports the yarn package may be rotatably carried by pivoted arms, but they are frequently merely guided in slots provided in lateral vertical guide members wherein they may rotate freely while being also free to move upwardly as the diameter of the yarn package increases.
  • Such winding machines should of course ensure a regular winding of the yarn in the form of a perfectly cylindrical mass or package. This requires that the geometrical axis of the spindle remain exactly parallel to the geometrical axis of the drum, which means that the guiding slots should be in one and the same plane par allel to the geometrical axis of the drum. Further the yarn should be evenly distributed along the length of the spool or package, which requires not only that the thread-guide of the machine be appropriately disposed and adjusted but also that the spindle itself remain substantially immovable in a longitudinal direction during the whole winding process, or in other words, that the axial play of the spindle between its guides be as reduced as possible for any position of the said spindle during the building up of the yarn mass or package.
  • the conventional guides are in the form of cast iron members having a perforated arm which is engaged on a supporting rod of circular crosssection longitudinally secured onto the machine frame, the said arm being locked at the proper position by means of a set screw.
  • the present invention has for its object to avoid the above disadvantages and to provide a guide member for yarn winding spindles which is not liable to cause a dc.- fective parallelism between the spindle and the axis of the driving drum.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a guide member for yarn winding spindles which may be secured on or removed from a common supporting rod without having to disengage from the said rod all the guide members comprised between one end of the rod and the zone thereof where the member under consideration is to be disposed or wherefrom it is to be removed.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a guide member for yarn winding spindles which may be accurately adjusted on a supporting rod to reduce to a minimum value the axial play of the spindle at any position of the latter in its guides.
  • the slot is in the form of an arc of a circle so disposed as to be substantially concentric to the rod on which the said member is secured on the machine frame.
  • the guide member according to this invention preferably comprises a supporting arm having at its end a semi-circular securing portion and two such guide members are disposed in the same transverse plane on each side of a supporting rod, the opposed semi-circular portions of the said members being clamped on the said rod by means of bolts, screws or the like acting on the said portions.
  • This arrangement permits of using one and the same supporting rod for two rows of yarn winding units and it dispenses with any kind of set screw.
  • Each pair of guide members may be readily removed from the supporting rod quite independently of the other pairs carried by the said rod.
  • Fig. l is a view in elevation showing a pair of guide members according to the invention, the common supporting rod being illustrated in section.
  • Fig. 2 is a detail section taken along line IIII of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a fragmentary front view showing how the successive guide members are disposed along the length of the winding machine.
  • each Winding unit comprises a drum 1 carried by a shaft 2 which is rotated at a constant speed.
  • a short individual drum for each unit or, as in the example illustrated, a single drum of relatively great length extending along the full length of the machine frame.
  • the yarn package 3 of each unit rests on the said drum 1, this yarn package being formed on an appropriate spool or tubular support mounted on a spindle 4, the ends of each spindle 4 being guided by lateral slots provided in guide members 5.
  • these guiding slots are rectilinear and vertical.
  • the yarn packages 3 are thus free to rotate together with the corresponding spindles 4 under the frictional driving action of the rotating drum 1, the spindles rising progressively in the guiding slots as the diameter of each package increases.
  • the winding proceeds at a constant speed of the incoming yarn, which ensures, for instance, the regularity of the twist imparted to the said yarn before it reaches the package.
  • the machine of course comprises appropriate yarn distributing means which ensure an even distribution of the yarn in the successive layers which form the package.
  • the guiding slots 5a are in the form of an arc of a circle.
  • a guiding slot on each side of each member 5 to receive the adjacent ends of the spindles of two successive winding units.
  • Each guide 5 is integral with a sector-shaped arm 5b which terminates in a semi-circular portion 5c forming a semi-circular collar (i.e. one half of a circular collar) adapted to fit against the supporting rod 6 of the machine frame.
  • the arrangement is such that the armate guiding slots 5a are substantially concentric to the axis of rod 6, or to the axis of the semi-circular portion Sc.
  • the machine is besides so arranged as to comprise a single supporting rod 6 for two rows of winding units respectively disposed on one side and on the other of rod 6, the guide members which correspond to one row being disposed in the same successive transverse planes as the guide members corresponding to the other row, as clear- 1y shown in Fig. 1.
  • the semi-circular portions 50 of each pair of guide members 5 thus form a kind of split collar which is clamped on the supporting rod 6 by means of bolts such as 7 passed through appropriate lateral lugs provided at each end of the said portions.
  • each pair of guide members 5 is clamped on the supporting rod 6 by means of semicircular bearing surfaces which may be so established as to fit accurately against the periphery of the said rod, which ensures that the guide members, are exactly secured in a transverse plane, while with the conventional construction wherein the guide members are locked on the rod by means of set screws, such is not generally the case. Due to the fact that the guide members are disposed in pairs, only two bolts are required for two members.
  • the successive guide members 5 may be secured individually on the said rod by using appropriate semi-circular counter-collars adapted to receive the clamping bolts such as 7.
  • a yarn winding unit comprising a driving drum adapted to be rotated at a constant angular Speed abmlli its axis; a spindle adapted to support a cylindrical yarn package maintained in frictional engagement with the periphery of said drum tocause winding of the yarn on said package at a constant linear speed of said yarn; a pair of guide members disposed above said driving drum to maintain the ends'of .s'aid spindle along an axis parallel to the axis of said drum and to permit said package to increase in diameter as sai'd'ya'rn is being wound, while retaining said spindle against axial and lateral displacement, each of said guide members being formed with a slot to receive one of the ends of said spindle, said slot being substantially in the form of an arc of a circle with the chord of the are substantially vertical; a supporting rod of circular cross-section to carry said guide members, said rod being disposed in parallel relation to the axis of said drum; and securing means to secure each of said guide
  • each of said guide members comprising an arcuate marginal portion wherein said slot is formed; and a sector-shaped arm integral with said arcuate portion; and said securing means being disposed at the end of said arm opposed to said marginal portion, and being adapted to fixedly engage said supporting rod concentrically with respect to the arcuate slot of said member.
  • each of said guide members comprising an arcuate marginal portion wherein said slot is formed and a sector-shaped arm integral With said arcuate portion; and said securing means being in the form of a semi-circular collar at the end of said arm opposed to said marginal portion, said semi-circular collar being concentric to said arcuatc slot to be clamped on said supporting rod.
  • a guide member assembly for yarn winding machines of the type having two parallel rows of winding units, each unit comprising a longitudinal driving drum adapted to frictionally engage a substantially cylindrical yarn package carried by a supporting spindle having its ends guided in slot formed on one side of each of two guide members disposed between each two successive .units of each row, said assembly comprising two semicircular collars adapted to be disposed on each side of a common supporting rod of circularcross-section; means to force said semi-circular collars against each other to clamp sameon said rod; an arm integral with each of said semi-circular collars and extending radially therefrom, and an arcuate marginal portion carried by each of said arms, each of said portions being formed with a slot opening on each side thereof, said slots being in the form of'an arc of a circleconcentric to the corresponding semi-circular collarl i 5.
  • a guide member for the ends of the yarn supporting spindles in yarn winding machines of the type wherein the yarn packages are frictionally driven by rotating drums on which they directly rest, said guide member comprising an arcuate portion formed with a slot on each lateral side thereof, said slots being in the form of arcs of a circle having the same radius and the same axis; an arm integral with said arcuate portion; and a semi-circular collar carried by the end of said arm opposed to said circular portion substantially co-axially to said slots.
