Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a yarn winding machine and relates, more particularly, to improvements in the rotary traverse roll of a winding machine which customarily rotates in frictional driving engagement with a yarn package being wound to impart rotation thereto and which, in addition, is formed with interconnected grooves of relatively reversed pitch through which the yarn is drawn and traversed in Winding onto the package.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an improved grooved traverse roll for winding machine which is provided with a driving rim or ring at one end thereof for holding the package core apart from surfaceto-surface contact with the traverse roll during the initial stage of winding of yarn thereon.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a high speed, grooved drive-traverse roll for a winding machine which is inexpensive to manufacture and economical, durable and efficient in use.
  • the invention accordingly comprises the apparatus hav ing the construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts exemplified in the following detailed disclosure and limited as to the scope only as indicated in the claims.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevation of the improved traverse roll of the present invention and illustrating a yarn core in operative association therewith, the core being shown prior to having yarn traversed thereon;
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 illustrating the position of the yarn core relative to the traverse roll after the deposition of yarn thereon to wind at least a portion of a package, such portion being suflicient to engage the package in surface-to-surface relationship with the traverse roll;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a modified embodiment of the present invention.
  • the flange is adapted to receive one end of a package core and hold this core with its outside diameter parallel with and in spaced relationship to the periphery of the traverse roll. Due to the fact that the annulus of the core does not interfere with the traversing motion of the yarn on the package core, once sutficient yarn has been wound onto the core so that the yarn thickness exceeds the distance between the diameter of the traverse roll and the diameter of the flange, the package being wound on the core moves into surfaceto-surface contact with the traverse roll for the remainder of the winding cycle.
  • a bearing 12 is suitably afiixed to frame 10, and receives the journal portion of a rotatable shaft 14.
  • a traverse roll 16 in the form of a cylinder molded or otherwise formed from a suitable material such as metal, Bakelite, or other plastic is mounted on shaft 14 for rotation therewith.
  • a substantially continuous groove having two branches 18 and 20 connected at their opposite ends 22, 24 is formed in the surface of traverse roll 16.
  • the end of the traverse roll 16 remote from frame 10 is provided with an annulus or ring 26 which may be formed integrally with the traverse roll, or which may be a separate member secured tightly thereon.
  • the ring 26 may be operatively associated with traverse roll 16 in arrangements other than that described herein.
  • the ring could be a separate element supported on its own hub and abutted against the end of the traverse roll. No attempt will be made to illustrate and describe all possible variations along these lines as most of them will be more or less obvious and within the skill of the art.
  • a conventional conical yarn holder or package core 30 of the type on which a conical self-supporting package or yarn is commonly Wound may be of a metallic construction having a plurality of holes pierced therethrough whereby the package wound on traverse roll 16 may be package dyed. It will be appreciated, however, that core 30 may be of any type commonly employed in winding a package of yarn, whether it be cylindrical or conical, and may be manufactured from any acceptable material such as plastic, wood or paper.
  • the core 30 is supported on a winding mandrel 32 mounted for rotation upon a shaft 34 which is connected to the remainder of the winding machine (not shown) in such as way as to permit the core to be positioned with its periphery parallel to traverse roll 16 and to allow package to grow in size as the yarn is wound thereon.
  • the machine is set up for the winding of a conical package or cop that it will be appreciated that other shapes and types of packages could be wound as well by replacing the conical mandrel and package core with other mandrels and packages appropriate to the formation of the particular package desired.
  • Package core 30 and mandrel 32 are adapted to be rotated, in the first instance, by frictional contact of ring 26 on the periphery of the core.
  • shaft 14 may be subject to constant rotation, or alternatively, shaft 14 y be started as the package core is advanced thereto,
  • FIG. 3 there is illustrated a modified form of the present invention.
  • An elongated shaft 14' serves as a mounting for a traverse roll 16.
  • the traverse roll is securely afiixed on the shaft by means of a set screw 17.
  • the surface of traverse roll 16 has a continuous groove including oppositely extending branches 18, 20', interconnected at their respective outer ends, formed therein. One such interconnecting point is shown at 24'.
  • the grooved branches 18, 20' serve to receive a strand of yarn and as the traverse roll is rotated the yarn is caused to move along the branches and be distributed along an adjacent rotatable package core 30.
  • a section 36 of shaft 14' extending outwardly beyond the confines of traverse roll 16 is formed to be of somewhat smaller diameter than the section of the shaft which mounts the traverse roll.
  • a portion of shaft section 36 is threaded as at 38 to receive a mating nut 40.
  • a bushing 42 is slidably situated on shaft section 36 intermediate traverse roll 16 and nut 40.
  • the outer diameter of bushing 42 is tapered at 43 so that the outside diameter of the bushing decreases as it extends toward the traverse roll.
  • a circular collar 44 of essentially the same diameter as traverse roll 16 encircles shaft 14 and is located intermediate the traverse roll and generally the forward or smaller diameter end of bushing 42.
  • the forward end of the bushing 42 enters into the enlarged central aperture 46 through the collar 44 and, in this manner, provides a mounting for holding the collar concentric with shaft 14.
  • the central aperture 46 of collar 44 is tapered over the major portion of its width as at 47 to mate with the forward section of bushing 42.
  • traverse roll 16' and collar 44 are chamfered at 48 and 49, respectively.
  • a ring 26' of resilient material such as plastic or rubber for example, is seated on chamfers 48, 49 and for this purpose said ring 26' has side walls which are partially tapered to mate with the chamfers. Ring 26' thereby normally acts to space collar 44 from traverse roll 16'.
  • ring 26 may be adjusted to protrude a predetermined distance above the outside diameter of traverse roll 16' by shifting bushing axially of shaft section 36 through movement of nut 40.
  • ring 26 will be formed of a resilient material sufiiciently rigid to provide a firm driving means for the core 30' so that, as the traverse roll is rotated, the core will be steadily and evenly rotated therewith. Since the reversal point 44 of the traverse roll is spaced inwardly, i.e., toward the mid-point of the traverse roll, from ring 26', yarn will build up on core 30 to a point where the core will move out of driving engagement with ring 26' and the package will move into surface-to-surface contact with the traverse roll for further rotation.
  • the present invention provides a highly satisfactory means for obtaining winding of a take-up package by means of a rotating traverse roll wherein, in the initial stages of the winding, the core on which the take-up package is to be wound is separated from the grooved section of the traverse roll.
  • damage to the yarn, to the traverse roll and to the package core which would otherwise arise from intimate surface-to-surface contact between substantially the full length of the core and the traverse roll is prevented.
  • the traverse roll of the present invention is a simple and inexpensive solution to the problem of avoiding damage to the afore-mentioned elements and to the yarn during Winding of a package of yarn on a winding machine.
  • a winding machine comprising, a mandrel adapted to support a core for rotation, a traverse roll having formed intermediate its opposite ends at least one helical groove defining a traversing zone for traversing yarn longitudinally of said core, means for supporting said mandrel for movement toward and away from said traverse roll, means for rotating said traverse roll, a resilient annular member expandable to a greater diameter than the outside diameter of said traverse roll, said annular member being located adjacent one end of said traverse roll and spaced from said traversing zone, said annular member having a surface of rotation supporting and engaging said core, and biasing means for expanding said annular member to a diameter greater than the diameter of said traverse roll to position said core a predetermined distance from said traverse roll.
  • a mandrel adapted to support a core for rotation, at traverse roll having formed in the surface thereof at least one helical groove including reversing end portions at opposite ends thereof for traversing yarn longitudinally of said core to wind a package, said reversing end portions defining the limits of the effective traversing zone of said traverse roll, means for supporting the mandrel for movement toward and away from said traverse roll, a resilient annular member located adjacent one end of said traverse roll and spaced from said traversing zone, said annular member being expandable to a greater diameter than the outside diameter of said traverse roll, said annular mem her having a surface of rotation supporting and engaging said core, a collar engageable with said annular member, and biasing means operable cooperatively with said collar to adjust said annular member to position said core a predetermined distance from said traverse roll.
  • a winding machine comprising, a mandrel adapted to support a core for rotation, a traverse roll having formed in the surface thereof at least one helical groove including reversing end portions, said reversing end portions being located inwardly from related opposite ends of said traverse roll and defining the limits of the effective traversing zone of said traverse roll, means for supporting said mandrel for movement toward and away from said traverse roll, means for rotating said traverse roll to wind a yarn package on said core, driving means connected with said traverse roll outside the confines of said reversing end portions and extending radially outwardly a predetermined distance from the surface of said traverse roll, said driving means including a surface for engagement with said core to rotate said core while maintaining said core spaced apart from said traverse roll, said traverse roll engaging the outer surface of said package in driving contact andsupporting said core after said package attains a wound size equal to said predetermined distance, said traverse roll and said core being further separable as said package increases in diameter,
  • said driving means is a resilient annular member expandable to a greater diameter than the outside diameter of said traverse roll, said annular member having a surface of rotation.
