Definitions

  • FIG] 320 BOBBINS a SPINDL'ES I 320 BOBBINS 8
  • the spinning frame disclosed provides a long spinning frame which may be of substantially any length since the plurality of separate and independently driven shaft segments substantially eliminate the thin and thick spots in the rovings caused by motion of the drafting rolls upon starting and stopping of the spinning frame that have been a problem with prior art spinning frames exceeding certain lengths.
  • This invention relates to spinning frames, and more particularly to a long spinning frame.
  • spinning frames have been limited in length even though it has been generally recognized in the art that a long spinning frame would provide the same number of bobbins as two or more short spinning frames at less initial cost, with fewer maintenance problems, and at lower operating expense.
  • the reason that spinning frames have been limited in length in the past is that when prior art spinningframes have exceeded certain maximum lengths, undesirable thin spots and thick spots have been caused in the rovings upon the starting and stopping of the spinning frames.
  • the invention permits a spinning frame to be of substantially any desired length without encountering that back rotation of the shafts carrying the drafting rolls which causes thin spots and thick spots in the rovings.
  • the invention provides the same number of bobbins as two or more prior art spinning frames at substantially less initial cost, with less maintenance, and at lower operating cost.
  • This improvement in spinning frames is provided by a spinning frame in which the drive shaft driving the spindles extends the length of the spinning frame and in which the shafts driving and carrying the drafting rolls are a plurality of axially aligned shaft segments extend ing along the length of the spinning frame.
  • the drive shaft is of sufiicient diameter to prevent significant twisting regardless of its length and the shaft segments carrying and driving the drafting rolls are driven from the drive shaft at a plurality of points along the length of the spinning frame. More importantly, even though the spinning frame disclosed herein may be of a any desired length, the lengths of the shaft segments which carry and drive the drafting rolls are never equal to or greater than that length which causes significant twisting of the shaft segments.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevational view, partially broken away, showing a spinning frame embodying the invention and with most of its conventional structural features omitted for clarity;
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the path of a roving through the front and rear pairs of drafting rolls to a bobbin;
  • FIG. 3 is an end elevational view showing a drive means for that embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 1,
  • the spinning frame disclosed herein has a main frame 9 along the length of which are a plurality of spindles 14 and a plurality of pairs of drafting rolls 11 and 12.
  • Each spindle 14 has an associated spinning ring 16 with a traveler 18 and roving from a conventional supply of roving R as at 10 is twisted into thread and layed on a bobbin 15 carried by each spindle 14 by the action of the spinning ring 16 and the traveler 1'8 associated with the spindle 14.
  • the pairs of drafting rolls 11 and 12 are arranged with respect to the spindles 14 in conventional manner in that there is a rear pair of drafting rolls 11 and a front pair of drafting rolls 12 associated with each spindle 14 and it will be understood that a roving R passes through a rear pair of drafting rolls 11, a front pair of drafting rolls 12 to a bobbin 15 on a spindle 14.
  • the spindles 14 and their associated spinning rings 16 and travelers 18 are driven in conventional manner from a drive shaft 19 which extends the length wind the thread on the bobbins 15.
  • the pairs of drafting rolls 11 and 12 are conventional in that one drafting roll in each pair of drafting rolls 11 and 12 is an idler roll 11 or 12 and only one roll 11" or 12" in each pair of drafting rolls 11 and 12 is carried and driven by a shaft 25 or 26.
  • each shaft 25 or 26 comprises a plurality of axially aligned segments 25 and 25" or 26' or 26", each of which is individually driven from the drive shaft 19.
  • the shaft 25 comprises two segments 25 and 25" which together form the shaft 25
  • the shaft 26 comprises two segments 26' and 26" which together form the shaft 26.
  • the shafts 25 and 26 extend the length of the spinning frame, but are discontinuous at 30.
  • the shaft segments 25 and 26' of the shafts 25 and 26 are driven from the right end of the spinning frame as viewed in FIG. 1 and the shaft segments 25" and 26" of the shafts 25 and 26 are driven from the left end of the spinning frame as viewed in FIG. 1 by a drive means which is best shown in FIG. 3.
  • the drive means shown in FIG. 3 is on the right end of the spinning frame as viewed in FIG. 1, but there is a similar drive means on the left end of the spinning frame. From FIG. 3 it will be seen that the drive means includes a chain 21 passing around a sprocket 22 on the drive shaft 19 and over a sprocket 23 on the shaft segment 25' and a sprocket 24 on the shaft segment 26.
  • the drive means at the left end of the spinning frame includes a similar chain 21' passing around a sprocket 22' on the drive shaft 19 and around sprockets 23 and 24' on the shaft segments 25" and 26".
  • shaft segments 25, 25", 26 and 26" are individually driven from the drive shaft 19 and that similar drive means may be provivded to drive additional shaft segments so that the length of no shaft segment 25', 25", 26' or 26" need be so long as to experience substantial twisting when its rotation is initiated.
  • the invention disclosed herein provides a long spinning frame which is not limited in length by the necessity of avoiding the back rotation of the shafts 25 and 26.
  • the spinning frame disclosed in FIG. 1 has 640 spindles 14 rather than the 320 spindles characteristic of prior art spinning frames.
  • its initial cost, its maintenance, and its operating expense are all less than that of a prior art spinning frame.
  • a continuous drive shaft operatively connected to said plurality of spindles so as to simultaneously drive all of said plurality of spindles, a plurality of separate shaft segments each of which is drivingly connected to only some of said plurality of drafting rolls and each of which is operatively connected to said continuous drive shaft so that said plurality of shaft segments are driven independently of each other by said continuous drive shaft.
  • the spinning frame of claim 4 including a drive means positioned at one end of said continuous drive shaft for rotating said continuous drive shaft.
  • the spinning frame of claim 5 including means spaced along said shaft length for rotating each of said plurality of shaft segments by rotation of said continuous drive shaft.
  • the spinning frame of claim 1 including a second plurality of drafting rolls related to said plurality of spindles, and a second plurality of shaft segments each of which is drivingly connected to only some of said second plurality of drafting rolls and each of which is operatively connected to said continuous drive shaft so that said second plurality of shaft segments are driven independently of each other by said continuous drive shaft.
