Description

(54) IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO REELING AND/OR UNREELING OF STRIPS (71) We, S. G. OWEN LIMITED, a British Company of Ryehill Close, Lodge Farm Industrial Estate, Harlestone Road, Northampton NN5 7US, England, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- The present invention relates to an apparatus for and method of reeling and/or unreeling strips, particularly lengths of connector contacts, strip metal, lead frames and the like.
According to the present invention there is provided an apparatus suitable for use in reeling and/or unreeling of strip, which apparatus comprises an idler roller and a drivable roller for freestanding a reel thereon, and a pivoted roller for holding a reel on the idler roller and the drivable roller but being pivotable away from the reel-holding position to allow loading and removal of the reel from the apparatus, the drivable roller being linked to a power source through a clutch, as well as a corresponding method.
The invention also provides an apparatus suitable for use in reeling and/or unreeling of strip, which apparatus comprises one or more freestanding reels for strip, the or each reel resting on an idler roller and a drivable roller, the or each reel being held on the idler roller and the drivable roller by a pivoted roller bearing thereon in the operative position but being pivotable away from the respective reel to allow removal of the respective reel from the apparatus, the drivable roller being linked to a power source through a clutch.
It is preferred that the idler roller(s) is/are positionable in a plurality of positions, so that different sizes of reels can be accommodated. Generally, a plurality of drivable rollers, idler rollers and pivoted rollers are provided, the drivable rollers having a common power source with an independently operable clutch unit for each drivable roller, in which it is preferred that each clutch is operable by a drop switch or micro switch activated by lowering the pivoted roller against a reel and disengaged by removal of the pivoted roller therefrom.
Normally, the power to all the drivable rollers is provided from a single drivable shaft on which the clutches are mounted, or the power to some of the drivable rollers is provided from one drivable shaft on which alternate clutches are mounted and power to the remainder of the drivable rollers is provided from another drivable shaft, parallel to said one drivable shaft, both drivable shafts being powered by a common power source. Advantageously, the clutches are provided in the drivable rollers.
In an embodiment of the present invention there is provided a re-reeling apparatus wherein a spool of paper interleave is provided to interleave paper between each layer of strip re-reeled on a reel.
It will be appreciated that the invention enables the use of spindle-less reels for strips.
For a better understanding of the present invention and to show how the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompaying drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows a diagrammatical view of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention, Figure 2 shows a diagrammatical side view of the apparatus of Figure 1, Figure 3 shows an end view, on a larger scale of another embodiment of apparatus in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 4 shows a side view of apparatus of Figure 3, on the same scale thereas, Figure 5 shows a side view of a bottom part of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention, and Figure 6 shows a partial plan view of part of the apparatus shown in Figure 5.
Referring now to Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, there is shown a re-reeler apparatus for reeling strip 1 on a component reel 2. There are four reels provided, for use sequentially as desired. Each reel 2 bears on idler rollers 3 which can be located in two positions on blocks 4 on which a common shaft 5 for the idler rollers rests. The reels 2 also bears on drivable rollers 6, drivable by a geared drive motor 7 via clutch units 8 mounted in the drivable rollers 6. A weighted pivotable roller 9 is provided to act as a stabiliser for each reel when strip is being reeled thereon. A micro switch (not shown) is provided so that raising of the roller 9 will disengage the respective clutch 8, whereas lowering a roller 9 onto a reel 2 will engage the respective clutch 8.
A spool 10 of interleave paper 11 is normally provided freely mounted for rotation, so that, as strip 1 is reeled (or rereeled) on a reel 2, a paper interleave is provided between each layer of strip 1 on the reel 2.
Referring now to Figures 3 and 4, the apparatus is essentially similar to that shown in Figures 1 and 2. However, in this case the drivable rollers 6 are mounted alternately on two driven shafts 12 driven by motor 13.
Likewise, the idler rollers 3 are freely mounted on two shafts (only two idler rollers being shown for simplicity).
Referring now to Figures 5 and 6, there is shown details of an apparatus similar to that shown in Figures 1 and 2, which will be selfexplanatory to an expert in the art, having read the above description of the apparatus shown in Figures 1 and 2.
It will be appreciated that the present invention enables the use of spindle-less reels. However, if desired, reels with spindles could be used in certain circumstances, although the spindles would not be used to rotate the reels, or, for that matter, normally to mount the reels.
WHAT WE CLAIM IS: 1. An apparatus suitable for use in reeling and/or unreeling of strip, which apparatus comprises an idler roller and a drivable roller for freestanding a reel thereon, and a pivoted roller for holding a reel on the idler roller and the drivable roller but being pivotable away from the reel-holding position to allow loading and removal of the reel from the apparatus, the drivable roller being linked to a power source through a clutch unit.
2. An apparatus suitable for use in reeling and/or unreeling of strip which apparatus comprises one or more freestanding reels, the or each reel resting on an idler roller and a drivable roller, the or each reel being held on the idler roller and the drivable roller by a pivoted roller bearing thereon in the operative position but being pivotable away from the respective reel to allow removal of the respective reel from the apparatus, the drivable roller being linked to a power source through a clutch unit.
