Definitions

  • This invention relates to improved mechanism for preventing the Winding of defective ribbons, particularly ribbonsof elastic threads loosely connected to each other 7 for shipment.
  • the present invention solve'sthe problem completely by substituting'a precision machine for the human fingers.
  • micrometer calipersy purchased, their jaws elongated by welding on exte'u' sions so that they could handle ribbons of the'desired width, and by attaching themicrometer to a pivoting member which, when it pivoted sufficiently, actuated a microswitchwhich through relays stopped the machine.
  • She is supposed to sense the occurrence of a thick spot or thin spot as the ribbon passes between her fingers, and
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that.
  • the two jaws have weldedinto them flat plates 11 Whichf connect them to' an'ordinary micrometer caliper 4.
  • the plates 11 are welded into the two jaws of the micrometer and are shown in more detail in FIG. 2.
  • This caliper in 7 is rigidly attached to a member 5 which is pivoted in a framework 6 attached to or part of, the winding machine, by means of the pivot 13;
  • a bar 7 is' clamped to-the memberS .andis terminated. by a shoe 8.
  • This shoe bears on a spring-pressed switch plunger 9 of a micro-switch 10. 'The flat plates 11 are.
  • the invention is primarily useful for gauging ribbons, but of course it can be adapted for gauging other shapes by a suitable contouring of the micrometer jaws;
  • a machine for winding a continuous length of material of predetermined thickness which comprises (a) a gauging element attached to the winding machine and provided with jaws positioned so that the moving 1 material passes between them,
  • (e)'piv0t means permitting the jaws to move the gauging element in a circle when'the friction of the ma terial passes through the jaws exceeds a predetermined value
  • V "(f) switching means actuated by pivoting of the gauging member to stop the winding machine.
  • the switching means is a microswitch with a spring-pressed plunger and'the actuation means is a bar swung by the pivoting of the gauging member and provided with a face contact- 'ing'the's'witch plunger and having an extent such that it is moved out. of contact with the switch plunger at a predetermined degree of pivoting.
  • a machine according to claim 2 in which the surfacecontacting the plunger is provided with edges bevelled away from the plunger so that when the gauging member is restored to its original position the switch plunger is 1 and surface engaging the switch plunger extend horizontal- The'operator'then examines the ribbon'and cuts. out
