Definitions

  • spinning and twining apparatus of this type were generally provided with a plurality of spools, each having a respective spindle, from which a thread, roving or sliver was unwound for subsequent blending or gathering into a yarn.
  • the latter is twisted, generally with many turns per unit length, although a preliminary twist may be imparted in the same or opposite direction prior to the main twisting operation as described in the aforementioned patent and application.
  • thread as used hereinafter is intended to refer to all elongated flexible members which can be blended by the aforementioned twisting operation to produce a yarn or multi-thread member of increased thickness, strength or density.
  • Such threads include, in addition to rovings and sliver, other animal and vegetable fibers as well as synthetic fibers and filaments.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an improved twisting or spinning device incorporating such a supply-spool arrangement.
  • a plural-spool supply device wherein a plurality of spools are disposed substantially coaxially upon a common support and a hollow thread-guiding spindle passes axially through the spools with annular clearance between the spindle and the superimposed spools.
  • the thread drawn from a lower spool thus passes through the clearance between a spool axially spaced therefrom along the spindle and the latter.
  • Threads from all of the spools can thus be drawn axially through the interior of the spindle to the spinning or twining devices which can include the usual fly frame, a high-speed driven traveler or other twisting means disposed axially beyond the tubular spindle in the direction of travel of the thread.
  • a transversely extending guide plate is disposed between these adjacent spools and has a rounded edge forming an annular gap with the spindle which is aligned with the aforementioned clearance. This rounded edge thus constitutes guide means for the thread passing through the clearance and has a diameter less than that of the lower spool.
  • the guide plate is removable from the support to permit replacement of a spool disposed behind this plate.
  • a plurality of such plates may be provided, in axially spaced relationship along the spindle, to define between them compartments for the spools.
  • Each of the plates and, advantageously, the transversely extending base of the support may be provided with axially extending annular flanges which serve to hold the spools whose core or mandrel is, of course, tubular to fit over the respective flange.
  • the core of course, has an inner diameter in excess of the outer diameter of the spindle so that the annular clearance between them extends over the entire length of the spool.
  • the support While it may be advantageous to enclose the coaxial coils in a generally cylindrical shell or housing, it is also possible to form the support with a lateral opening dimensioned to admit the spools.
  • the spindle may be provided with means for removably affixing it to the support whereby it can be withdrawn.
  • the transverse guide plates may, in this instance, be permanently emplaced.
  • the aforementioned lateral opening may be provided within an otherwise cylindrical shell or between a plurality of angular spaced axially extending support strips upon which the plates are mounted.
  • FIG. 1 is an axial-cross-sectional view, partly in elevation, illustrating a twisting mechanism embodying the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional View drawn to reduced scale taken along the line IIII thereof;
  • FIG. 3 is an axial-cross-sectional view of a plural-spool supply device according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 showing parts thereof in another position.
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view drawn to reduced scale, taken along line V-V of FIG. 4.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawing there is shown a plural spool arrangement wherein a cylindrical housing or support 6 has a base 6' which extends transversely to the axis of the housing and has a boss 24 which a tubular spindle 3 is rigidly mounted.
  • Base 6' is also provided with a centering disc 25 whose axially extending annular flange 26 is adapted to fit into the interior of the core '4 of a spool 2' whose thread '1 passes into an annular clearance 27 between the core 4 of a second spool 21 disposed thereabove.
  • the spool 2 is carried by a transverse plate 5 which rests removably upon an in ternal rib 6 formed aannularly in the wall of shell 6.
  • This plate is formed with a curved edge 5' surmunding the spindle 3 which serves to guide the thread 1'.
  • the thread passes through this clearance into the interior of the spindle 3 over its curved reentrant edge 3.
  • guide plate 5' is provided with an axially extending annular flange 5 serving to center the core 4 of spool 2 whose thread -1 blends with the thread 1' as they both pass into the interior of the spindle.
  • the threads emerging from the spindle at its lower end are twisted by a conventional twisting means such as a fly frame of the type shown in U.S. Patent No. 2,260,229 to Nutter et al. or a driven traveler 15 through which the threads pass jointly.
  • This traveler is shown to be guided upon a cirouiar track 14 coaxial with the spindle 3 and having a T-shalped cross-section and to be zdisplaceable by a radial arm 16 of a shaft 17 whose pulley 18 is driven by the belt 19 from the drive pulley 20 of the motor 21.
  • twisting or spinning means conventional in the art may be employed.
  • the loosely or tightly entwined threads form a yarn 7 which whirls about the support 6 as it passes through an eye 8 to a take-up reel 9 which is rotated in the usual manner upon its shaft 19.
  • the spools may be changed simply by their removal from the plate or the removal of this plate to expose the lower spool 2.
  • FIGS. 3 through 5 are shown another arrangement wherein removal of the spools can be effected in a somewhat different manner.
  • the support 36 comprises a pair of axially extending strips 36 which are diametrically oppositely located with respect to the axis of the spindle 33.
  • a lateral opening 40 is formed between the strips through which the spools 32, 32 can be removed upon axial withdrawal of spindle 3-3.
  • the latter is formed with a threaded extremity 33a which is removable from the complementarily threaded boss 36" of the support. Plates 35, 35a for the spools 32 and 32" may thus be rigid with the strips 36.
  • the spindle 33 need only be partially withdrawn in an axial direction (FIG. 4) to enable the spools to be removed through the lateral openings formed between the strips.
  • the plates 5, 35 etc. can be provided with detent means releasable securing them with respect to the support while other detent means (e.g. balland-recess connections, bayonet couplings or the like) can be formed between the spindle and the support to enable ready release of this spindle.
  • the plate 5 may be aflixed to housing 6 if a sufficiently wide lateral opening is provided in the lower portion thereof to enable removal of the core 4' prior to reinsertion of spool 2' therein.
  • the compartment formed between the plates 35 and 35a is generally representative of any number of such compartments that can be formed in accordance with the invention. It is thus apparent that many modifications and variations are, consequently, deemed to be included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
  • a supply device for feeding a plurality of threads to a twining mechanism comprising a housing having an axis, said housing being provided with a base generally transverse to said axis and at least one annular support plate axially spaced from said base while extending transversely to said axis; means in said housing for supporting a first spool centrally on said base and a second spool centrally upon said plate, said second spool having a central passage extending along said coaxially with said plate; a tubular spindle coaxial with said housing and extending axially through said passage with annular clearance from said second spool and said plate; and guide means including an upper edge of said plate surrounding said spindle with clearance for guiding a thread from said first spool through said clearance and into said spindle, said spindle having a discharge aperture proximal to said base through which said thread emerges.
