Definitions

  • This invention relates to a novel apparatus for making yarn and it is an important object of invention to provide an improved apparatus for making yarn from'very short fibers, such as combing noils and other waste fibers, as Well as fibers of lengths up to, say, six inches, in an economical continuous process.
  • the fleece is split into a plurality of narrow strips on a tape condenser which rolls and rubs the strips into rovings which pass directly to a conventional twister or spinning frame alined longitudinally of the direction of travelof the fibers and having two parallel rows of spindles and bobbins on opposite sides thereof.
  • Each spindle has a feed roll thereabove to which one of the rovings is directed and which directs the rovings to the respective spindles through the usual ring travelers.
  • the feed rolls are driven by and in synchronism with the tape condenser to insure that the rovings are drawn from the condenser at a speed compatible with the speed of the tape condenser. Further, the spindles are driven at such speed as to take up and produce the desired amount of twist in the yarn thus formed from the rovings.
  • FIGURE 1 is a somewhat schematic longitudinal vertical sectional view showing the novel apparatus arranged in accordance with the present invention and showing one type of drive common to the card machine, the tape condenser and the spinning frame;

  • bats or laps of textile fibers aa' are drawn from respective lap rolls A-D onto a driven endless lap feed conveyor or apron 10 which delivers the relatively thick fibrous webs a--d to a roller carding machine generally designated at 11.
  • the roller carding machine is of conventional construction and includes the usual rollers 12 and clearers or strippers 13 which cooperate with a main cylinder 14 suitably journaled on a frame 15.
  • the laps a-d are directed onto a feed plate 16 by a driven supporting roller 17.
  • the front portion of feed plate 16 has a cooperating fluted roller or feed roller 20 which directs the fibers from the laps ad to a licker-in 21 which, in turn, directs the fibers to the main cylinder 14.
  • IA dofler cylinder 25 removes the fibers from the main cylinder and these fibers are withdrawn from the doifer cylinder 25 in the form of a thin web or fleece F by suitable means, such as a conventional dofler comb 26.
  • suitable means such as a conventional dofler comb 26.
  • revolving-flat carding machines are generally used in carding cotton fibers
  • a roller carding machine is used in the present instance, because it is necessary to open and clean the cotton fibers as much as possible, even at the expense of reduced drawing.
  • a revolvingflat carding machine cannot clean and straighten the fibers to the extent of a roller carding machine.
  • the fleece F is drawn from the doifer comb 26 and doffer cylinder 25 by the slitting or dividing rolls 27 of a conventional tape condenser broadly designated at 30.
  • the slitting rolls 27 separate the fleece F into a plurality of tapes, not shown, half of which are directed upwardly from the upper roller 27, and the other half of which are directed downwardly by the bottom roller 27. As these fibrous tapes are directed upwardly and downwardly by respective upper and lower rollers 27, they pass in engagement with belts 3 1 which, in turn, direct the fibrous tapes to and between pairs of upper and lower rubbing aprons 32, 33, in a well known manner. There are four sets of the upper and lower rubbing aprons 32, 33 in FIGURE 1.
  • the rubbing aprons .32, 33 in each set move transversely of each other while advancing the corresponding tapes therebetween to condense the tapes of textile fibers into ropings or rovings R. Since the. operation and construction of tape condensers are well known in the wool processing. art, a further description thereof is deemed unnecessary.
  • the rovings R are guided over the top of one end of an elongate spinning frame or machine, broadly. designated at .9, which extends forwardly from adjacent the front or discharge end of tape condenser 30.
  • the spinning frame is conventional, although modified by removing drafting rolls therefrom, so that it serves as a twister frame in this instance.
  • the terms spinning frame and twister frame are usedsynonymously throughout this application to mean a conventional twisting machine or a conventional. spinning machine. modified by removal of its drafting rolls, with the exception 3 of its front top and bottom delivery rolls. The latter rolls serve as feed rolls, as will be later described.
  • the spinning frame 40 includes two parallel rows of vertically disposed spindles, the spindles in each row being indicated at 45.
  • Each spindle 45 normally has a bobbin 46 thereon which extends through a spinning ring 4-7 having a ring traveler 50 mounted thereon.
  • the spinning rings 47 at each side of the machine are supported on a vertically reciprocating ring rail 51.
  • the ring rails 51 are reciprocated vertically by the usual traverse motion or builder motion, not shown.
  • the spindles 45 are driven by tapes or belts 52 which extend about a centrally disposed longitudinally extending main drum 53 suitably journaled in the frame of the twister frame 40.
  • each side of the twister machine has a longitudinally extending beam 54- thereon which supports a plurality of spaced roll stands 55.
  • the roll stands are of conventional construction and rotatably support fluted feed rolls 56, there being a row of coaxial interconnected feed rolls 56 at each side of the machine.
  • the feed rolls 56 are in the form of fluted bosses which are interconnected by roller necks as is well known.
  • alternate pairs of the pressure rolls 57 are interconnected by reduced neck portions 58 to which downward pressure is applied by an arm 61 (FIGURE 4) having a tension spring 62 connected thereto.
  • the lower end of each tension spring 62 is connected to the corresponding beam 54, as at 63 (FIGURE 4).
  • the arms 61 at each side of the machine are pivotally connected to a shaft 65 extending longitudinally of the spinning frame and being suitably supported in the corresponding roll stands 55.
  • the roll stands 55 at each side of the spinning frame also support an elongate bar 66 to which a plurality of bifurcated thread guides 67 are suitably secured, there being one of the thread guides disposed inwardly of each feed roll 56.
  • each laterally opposed pair of roll stands 55 has opposed ends of a laterally extending bar 70 suitably secured thereto and each of the bars 70 has a comb 71 suitably secured thereto.
  • Each comb 71 includes a plurality of upstanding closely spaced guide pins 72 (FIGURES 3, 4 and It will be observed in FIGURE 5 that there are four bosses or roll sections 56 between each adjacent pair of roll stands 55.
  • the strands of roving R coming from the tape condenser 30 are guided by the pins 72 of the successive combs 71 and the strands diverge outwardly or are deflected outwardly from the pins 72 to the guides 67 and corresponding feed rolls 56.
  • Suitable suction end clearers are provided adjacent each row of delivery or feed rolls 56.
  • the end clearers are of types well known in the art and include suction heads 75 whose orifices are disposed closely adjacent to the corresponding delivery rolls 56 and adjacent the path of travel of the rovings R as they pass from the delivery rolls 56 through the travelers 50 and to the bobbins 46 on spindles 45.
  • the suction heads 75 have respective conduits or pipes 76 connected thereto which are connected to a common main suction duct 77 extending longitudinally of the spinning frame substantially throughout the length thereof and being connected to a suitable suction and filtering device indicated schematically at 80 in FIGURES 1 and 2.
  • each pair of rubbing aprons 32, 33 has a suction head 31 positioned adjacent the same which is connected, by a pipe 82, to a conduit 83 which is common to all of the pipes 82.
  • Conduit 83 is connected to a suitable suction and collecting unit 84 identified as a vacuum source in FIGURE 1.
  • suction heads 75 and 81 are used in the present systern in order to insure continuous uninterrupted operation of the entire apparatus in the event that one or more of the ends of roving become parted, since the characteristics of the yarn produced with the present apparatus are such that it is most economical to permit broken ends to remain broken while the apparatus continues to operate until a winding cycle of the twister frame 40 has been completed. 7
  • One type of yarn produced on the present apparatus was, for example, a No. 7 cotton yarn having about nine turns of twist per inch therein.
  • the yarn was made from a blend of 75% cotton combing noils and 25% new cotton of standard staple length; i.e., the fibers in the new cotton were approximately 1 inches long. It is well known that combing noils are generally very short fibers of as little as 4 inch length and, therefore, the drafting of such fibers is quite difficult. The present system, however, eliminates the drafting of the fibers. Yarn of this type is used for knit goods and is also used as a filling or other backing yarn in woven fabrics.
  • the apparatus In order to insure that the entire yarn producing system functions properly, I have provided two types of drives for the apparatus, the first embodiment of which includes a common drive forthe feed conveyor 10, the carding machine 11, the tape condenser 30 and, more importantly, the spindles of the twister frame 40. Also, in order to insure that the roving is withdrawn from the rubbing aprons 32 and directed to the delivery rolls or feed rolls 56 of the twister frame under sufiicient but minimum tension, the feed rolls of both forms of the invention are driven by a direct connection with the tape condenser. The first form of drive will now be described.
  • the main cylinder 14 of the carding machine has a shaft projecting from opposite ends thereof, one end of which has a pair of coaxial pulleys 91, 92 thereon and the other end of which has a single pulley 93 thereon.
  • Pulley 91 has an endless belt 94 connected thereto which is also connected to a pulley 95 which is instrumental, in a well known manner, in imparting rubbing action to the rubbing aprons 32, 33.
  • Pulley 93 has an endless belt 96 mounted thereon which is also mounted on a pulley 97 operatively connected to the rollers 32a, which drive the belts 31, 32, and to the slitting rolls 27 for imparting rotation thereto in timed relation to the rotation of the main card cylinder 14.
  • Pulley 92 is engaged by an endless belt 100 which is also mounted on a pulley 101 driven by an electric motor 102.
  • the other parts of the conventional carding machine, such as the doifer cylinder 25, the licker-in 21, the feed roller 20 and the supporting roller 17, are driven in a manner well known in the art and, accordingly, a description thereof is deemed unnecessary.
  • Roller 17 is operatively connected to a front roller 105 on which the front portion of endless conveyor belt or apron 10 is mounted, the rear portion of endless belt 10 being mounted on an idler roller 106.
  • 106 are journaled in a suitable frame 107 having side rails 108 thereon between which the bats or laps ad pass.
  • the side rails 108 also support suitable stands 112 in which the core shafts 113 of the lap rolls A-D are journaled.
  • ne'end of supporting roll 17 has a gear 120 fixed thereon (FIGURE 2) which-meshes with a gear 121 fixed on one reduced end of the conveyor supporting roll 105.
  • the latter end of the conveyor supporting roll 105 has a sprocket wheel 122 thereon which is engaged by an endless sprocket chain 123; Sprocket chain 123 also engages several other sprocket 'wheels including sprocket wheels 124 fixed on reduced corresponding ends of the auxiliary lap feed rolls 115, 116.
  • the laps are somewhat frusto-conical in form, this being the result of a greater amount of fibers being delivered to one end of thelap roll than are delivered to the other during the forming of the picker laps.
  • one of the rolls 32a at the exit end of a corresponding rubbingapron 32 or 33 has a sprocket wheel 130 connected to one reduced end thereof.
  • Sprocket wheel 130 is engaged by a sprocket chain 131 which also engages a sprocket wheel 132 fixed on a transverse shaft 133 journaled in the frame of the tape condenser
  • a medial portion of shaft 133 has a sprocket wheel 135 fixed thereon which is engaged by an endless sprocket chain 136.
  • Sprocket chain 136 is also mounted on a sprocket wheel 137 fixed on a shaft 140.
  • shaft 140 is journaled in a pair of brackets 141 adjustably secured to the upper end of the rear end frame member 41 of twister frame 40, adjacent the condenser 30.
  • Each end of shaft 140 has a bevel gear 142 fixed thereon which meshes With'a bevel gear 143 fixed on a stub shaft 144 journaled in a laterally projecting portion 145 of each bracket141.
  • -Also fixed on each shaft 144 is 'a spur gear 146 which meshes with a spur change gear 147 fixed on one end of the corresponding row of rolls 56, it already having been stated that the rolls 56 maybe integrally formed or interconnected by roller'necks in the usual manner.
  • 'A-bracket 150 may be provided for supporting the end of the shaft of rolls 56 and to which spur gear 147 is secured. Bracket 150 is adjustably' secured to the' lateral portion 145 of the corresponding bracket 141. It is thus seen thatthe delivery rolls 56 at each side of the twister machine are driven in accurately timed relation to the rubbing aprons 32, 33 of the tape condenser 30.
  • a gear-covering roving guide plate 148 extends upwardly and forwardly, at an angle in FIGURE 1, from a lower portion ofthe tape condenser 36 to the rear end frame member 41 of the twister machine 40. It should be noted that the front upper portion of guide plate 148 curves over the upper end of the latter frame member 41 so as to serve as a cover for the various parts shown in'the righthand portion of FIGURE 5, including gears 142, 143, 146, 147, sprocket wheel 137, chain 136 and shaft 140.
  • Roving guide plate 148 may be suitably secured to brackets145, if desired.
  • Roving guide plate 148 also overlies shaft 133 and sprocket wheel 135, thus insuring that the rovings R will not drop onto any of the aforementioned parts covered by the guide plate 148.
  • Guide plate 148 should have a smooth upper surface so the rovings R may slide freely over the same and, particularly, over the upper portion of the-rear endof the twister frame 40.
  • the spindles 45 and bobbins 46 may be driven at variablespeeds' substantially greater than the speed at which the yarn or roving R is delivered by the delivery rolls 56'.
  • the shaft of electric motor 102 also has a'pulley 151 fixed thereon which is engaged'by an endless belt 152.
  • Endless belt 152 (FIG- URE 2) also engages a pulley 153 fixed on a jack shaft 154.
  • Jack shaft 154 is journaled a bearing block 155 and is coupled, as at 156, to one shaft 157 of a rightangular gear box 160.
  • the output shaft 151 of gear box 163 is coupled, as at 162, to a power shaft 163 which extends longitudinally of and substantially centrally of the carding machine 14.
  • Shaft 163 is journaled in bearing blocks 164.
  • the bearing blocks 155, 164 may be secured to the floor 1 upon which rests the apparatus.
  • the front end of shaft 163, remote from gear box 160, is connected to an upwardly and forwardly extending extension shaft 165 by a suitable universal joint 165.
  • the upper end of shaft 165 is' connected to a drive shaft 167 projecting from one end of the drum 53 by means of a suitable universal joint 170.
  • the drum 53 drives the spindles 45 by means of the tapes or belts 52, and rotation is imparted to the drum 53' of the spinning frame 40 from electric motor 102 through the intervening elements heretofore described, it is apparent that the spindles 45 and bobbins 46 are driven at all times at a speed directly proportional to the speed of the carding machine 11 and tape condenser 30. This insures that a constant amount of twist is imparted to the roving thus converted into yarn, since it is wellknown that the greater the speed of the spindles 45 and bobbins 46relative to the feed rolls or delivery rolls 56, the greater the amount of twist imparted to the yarn as it passes through the travelers 5% to the bobbins 46.
  • FIGURES 6, 7 and 8 are identical to the first form of the invention with the exception of the manner in which rotation is imparted to' thespindles of the spinning frame. Therefore, all parts illustrated in FIGURES 6, 7 and 8 which are identical to 'those heretofore described with respect to FIGURES 1 through 5 shall bear the same reference characters with the prime notation added where applicable, in order to avoid repetitive description.
  • FIGURE 6 and7 differs from thatshow'n in FIGURES l and 2,'i n particular, to the extent that the electric motor 102' of FIGURE 7 is not used for'driving the spindles of the spinning frame 40:, although the motor'102" of FIGURE 7 serves to drive the corresponding carding machine 11' and, therefore, serves to drive the corresponding condenser 30'; It will be observed in FIGURE 6 that the spindles 45 thereof are driven by an electric motor which is connected tdthe shaft 167' by means of a pair of pulleys 176, 177 and anendless belt 180 entrained thereover.
  • the speed of the entire apparatus driven by motors 192', 175 may be determined by adjustment of the main rheostat 1&2, and the relative speed of the spindles and the remainder of the apparatus; i.e., the feed apron the carding machine 11, the tape condenser 30 and the feed rolls 56' of the spinning frame 41), which are driven by the respective motors 102', 175, may be determined by adjustment of the respective rheostats 183, 184.

  • the other side of switch 192 has a pair of parallel conductors 193, 194 leading therefrom to respective sides of rheostats 183, 184.
  • Safety switch 192 should be conveniently located adjacent to or on the spinning frame 40 so the apparatus may readily be stopped by an attendant. The attendant can more readily detect faults in the operation of the apparatus by watching the spinning frame than he can by watching other parts of the apparatus.
  • rheostats 183, 184 are interconnected by a conductor 1 15.

  • Suitable start, jog and stop switches s-1, s-Z, s-3 may be interposed in lead wires 191, 192 in a well-known manner.
  • the maintenance of correct driving relationships between the carding machine and the spindles and between the rubbing aprons and the feed rolls of the spinning frame is very important to the operation of the entire apparatus, due to the fact that the size and weight of the main cylinder of the carding machine is such that the machine must be started at a slow speed and the speed thereof is then gradually increased until the desired speed has been reached, in order to avoid overloading the drive therefor.
