WINDING MACHINE Filed May 5, 1950 4o INVENTOR. 3 2, Raymond V. Tafa Patented Mar. 17, 1953 WINDING MACHINE Raymond V. Tata, Providence, R. I., assignor to 7 Universal Winding (30., Cranston, R. I., a corporation of Massachusetts Application May 3, 1950, Serial No. 159,691
9 Claims. (01. 242-18) The present invention relates to improvements in winding machines and particularly to a mechanism for winding a reserve length of yarn on the end of a core or other package-support before winding the package itself.
In the following specification and claims the term "yarn is employed in a general sense to apply to all kinds of strand materials, either textile or otherwise, and the designation package is intended to mean the product of the winding machine whatever its form.
The present invention provides a device for attachment to or incorporation in a winding machine to adapt said machine to wind a transfer tail or tail-end on the end of a package core before the winding of the actual package commences. The transfer tails or tail-endsfthus wound are employed to magazine a plurality of packages on a creel or other yarn holder by tying the transfer tail of one package to the leading end of a second package so that the yarn will deliver continuously from the several packages.
One object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism for winding a transfer tail or tailend on the end of a package core.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism that has relatively few moving parts for winding a transfer tail or tailend on the endof a package core.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism for winding a transfer tail or tail-end on the end of a package core that does not need to be reset after a transfer tail or "tail-end has been wound before another can be wound.
Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises the apparatus possessing the construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a diagrammatic fragmentary view of a winding machine incorporating the transfer tail winding mechanism of the present invention;
- Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the rotating yarn guide; and
Fig. 3 is an end view of the rotating yarn guide.
L The present invention comprises a rotating fer tail and the package of yarn is to be wound.
The rotating yarn guide is positioned so that its end surface is opposite the location on the package core that is to receive the transfer tail, and outside of the traverse of a reciprocating yarn guide employed in the formation of the yarn package. When the winding of a package of yarn is commenced the end of the yarn to be wound is drawn diagonally from the supply of yarn to be wound across the end of the rotating yarn guide and attached to the end of the package core. The rotating yarn guide holds the strand of yarn a predetermined length of time and permits the package core, upon rotation thereof, to wind the desired transfer tail. Upon continued'rotation of the rotating yarn guide the strand of yarn is passed between two of its teeth and permitted to move out of engagement with said rotating yarn guide and into the path of the reciprocating yarn guide which picks it up and proceeds to wind the desired package.
Referring now to Fig. l of the drawing wherein there is shown a fragmentary diagrammatic view of one unit of the winding portion of a more or less conventional uptwister and including a twisting spindle. A driving roll 10 is rotatably carried by shaft I2 suitably journaled in a pair of end frames I4 (only one of which is shown) of the uptwister. Shaft I2 and roll 10 are rotated by any suitable means. A package core l6 adapted to have a transfer tail wound on a relatively short portion of its length adjacent one of its ends and a package of yarn Wound thereon adjacent said transfer tail, i mounted on arbor l8 and is adapted to be rotated by surface contact with driving roll IEI. Arbor I8 and package core is are carried for pivotal movement towards and away from drivin roll ID to allow for growth of the package of yarn and to permit dofling and donning operations by arm 20, which is pivotally attached .to a mountin bracket (not shown) forming a part of the uptwister. A traverse bar 22 is reciprocated parallel to the axis of package core l6, through a stroke of predetermined length equal to the length of the package that it is desired to wind, by suitable cam means (not shown), and carries a self-threading yarn guide 24 adjacent package core It by means of yarn guide arm 26. A spindle 28 is suitably mounted on the uptwister frame for rotation by endless belt 30. A bobbin 32 containing a supply of yarn Y for the package being wound on package core I6 is rotatably carried by spindle 28 which imparts a predetermined number of turns of twist per unit length to said yarn Y as it is drawn off bobbin 32. Spindle 28 is located below and in front of the midpoint of package core !6 that is to receive the package of yarn, and a fixed yarn guide 34 is fixedly mounted directly above spindle 28 on a longitudinal framemernber (not.- shown). All er the structure thus far-"described is broadly conventional and well known to those skilled in the 10 art.
A rotating yarn guide 36, preferablyHn'o'uldd of plastic, is mounted on shaft 38 for rotation thereby opposite one end of, packagecore Wand beyond the length thereof traversed bY'glfideYfi-J Rotating yarn guide 36 is provided with a hub portion at having an axial bore' 42 'ekten'ding therethrough and a longitudinal locking rib- 44 on the wall of said bore. The diameter of bore 42 is slightly larger than the diameter of shaft 2-0 88 and locking'rib' M has a height greater than 'the"difference insaiddiameters and frictionally holds guide 35 at any desired location on shaft -38. "Aplurality or generally triangular'shaped yarn guide teeth fiii extend in-a--generally radial 5 direction from one end of hub id to form aflange provided with a plurality of slots ifi having their centerlines-generally tangent to the wall cfbo're :32. Guide 36- isadapted to be rotatedfby shaft 33'infa direction generallycountercloclnvise"as viewed inFig. '3 for'a reason that will become apparenthereinafter.
-Shaft 38 and yarn guide 36 preferably rotate at a slower speed than package core i 6' topermit -'said"core l6 towind a transfer tairof sui fici'ent *length to be useful in magazining the wound packages-in' the above described manner. 'H-owever, theexact ratio of the speed of package pore" it to the speed of yarn guide is a matter of choice and is determined'by the length'of transfer tail "that is'desired. In theembodiment"disclosed'in the drawing shaft 'fi8 is journaled -in end frames '14 so-as to be substantiallyparallel to shanl2 and above a straight line drawn between-stationar'y-yarn' guide! s and the point of contact be- 45 tweenfiriving roll i9 andpackage'core itso that '-a strand of yarnpassing through'gui de Hand "being 'wound"oncore is lays across said shafti38 appreciable angle. aft '3 8 is rotated "in a clockwise direction asviewedin Fig. T by shaft 5 i 2 through bevelgears fiaand" 52 zz'arriedrespec- -'tively"by shaft l2 and one end of shaftM, and worm 56 ,"and worm wheel 58 "e arried respectively by the other" end of'shaftbd'and t'he'endof shaft 38. "It' 'wiilfhowever, be obvious to those skilled '55 in the art'that shaft 38 and yarnf'guidefifi can be rotated by any other convenient" means.
"The mechanism'of the present invention'operfatesin the following man'ner'to autoinatically "wind a transfer taiion' the end ofpa'cka 'ge core '60 'liiand following the Windingof'sai d' tra'nsfer'tail release the'yarn for engagement by'self-threadire. 1 the-end "adj aeent rotating yarn guide f 36.
Spindle ZS is then moved into-engagement with to endless belt 33 to cause it and bobbin- 3 2 to' rotate and "impart twist to the lengthofwarn -extending between bobbin "32 and. package core 5. *Paekage core l fiis then pivoted*downwardlyfinto en- "gagement" with driving roll iii -which 'wii1 rotate (5 787 i 1 4 it in a counterclockwise direction as viewed in Fig. 1 and simultaneously the length of yarn Y extending from stationary yarn guide 34 to package core [6 is drawn to the left, as viewed in Fig. l, and laid over shaft 38 to the left of rotating yarn guide 36 to form the two lengths Y and Y extending between guide 34 and rotating. guide 36 :and rotating-l'guide 36 and package core it respectively. Yarn guide36"serves'as a" stop and iprevents yarn Y from sliding to the right along "shaft 38 into the path of reciprocating yarn guide Z lifitila transfer tail of the desired length has been wound. As rotating yarn guide 36 turns, on'e' o f' the slb'tsTES-formed therein will coincide '-with" the length of yarn Y extending between the""twoyarn'guides 34 and 36, and when this condition occurs, said length of yarn will be drawn through said slot due to the fact that both slotfliiand yarn Y are tangent to shaft 38 and length of yarn Y is under tension to the right. "'Ccnti-nuediotation*of rotating ya'rnguide 36 permits 'yarn'Y 'to leave slot 53 when thesiot 48 carrying yarnY has been rota-ted until it s'ubstantially coincides with iengthpf yarn Y Q When this occurs, the lengthsY and Y slide to'the right along shaft 38 and 1eng th Y also moves towards themi'dpoint of package core itandinto the "patn of reciprocating yarn guide 2% which picks' 'it '-up and -traverses it"back' and ror'thiacr oss predetermined l ength of core 1 5 to wind aselrsupportin package.
