Definitions
- One of the objects of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks by providing a drive for a spindle of the above type in such a way that this drive may be located in a very small space and at the same time will reliablyprovide a drive of suflicient force which will not slip.
- Another object of the presentinvention is to provide a fricional drive to a spindle of the above type of sufiicient force to reliably drive the spindle irrespective of the direction in which the latter is rotated.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a drive of the above type which maybe adjusted so as to change the direction of rotationof the spindle.
- An additional object of the present invention is to provide a drive of the above type which is composed of transmission members which frictionally engage each other and which at the same time reliably transmits the necessary driving force.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a drive of the above type which combines a friction drive with a gear drive.
- the objects of the present invention also include the provision of a structure capable of accomplishing all of the above objects and at the same time composed of simple and ruggedly constructed elements which are very reliable in operation.
- the present invention mainly consists of a drive for a spindle of a spinning and twisting machine, this drive including a driven member and a driving member respectively having axes of rotation which extend in different directions, the driving member having an annular driving surface which is located in a plane normal to the axis of rotation of the drive means and the driven means having an annular driven surface which is coaxial with the axis of rotation of the driven means.
- the drive means and the driven means are supported for rotation about their axes by a 2,896,395 Patented July 28,- 1959 support means, andan annular transmission means whose axis of rotation is substantially perpendicular to that of the drive means is locatedbetwee'n andengages the annular driving surface and the annular driven surface for transmitting a drive from the drivemeans to the driven means.
- a carrier means is carried bythe support means and carries the transmission means forfree' rotation about its axis of rotation, and a spindle means is fixed coaxially to the driven means 'to'bedriven thereby.

- a casing 10 is provided with an integral carrying flange 101.
- carrying flange carries a spindle housing 11 which extends through an apperture in the flange 101 and which has a flange 110 engaging the top face of the flange 101 and a nut 12 threadedly engaging the housing '11 and the underside of the flange 101 to fix the housing 11 to the flange 101.
- the spindle housing 11 carries in a k-now way a spindle hearing which turnably supports the spindle whose top end 13 is shown in Fig. 1, this top end 13 being adapted to carry a spool.
- a driven means provided with an outer annular surface 14 is fixed directly to the spindle for driving the latter, this driven means being in the form, for example, of a pulley which is fixed to the spindle for rotation therewith.
- the top portion of the pulley is provided with an outwardly extending annular flange 141 which covers an opening 151 in the cover 15.
- a book 16 extends over the flange 141.
- the hook 16 is movable upwardly, and in the example shown the hook 16 is formed with a bore through which extends a screw fixed to the cover 15, and a resilient rubber sleeve 17 or the like is located between the head of the screw 18 and the hook 16 to urge the latter downwardly to the position shown in Fig. 1.
- a drive means is provided for driving the spindle, and in the illustrated example this drive means is in the form of a drive shaft 19 turnably supported for rotation about its axis by suitable bearings of the support means 10. As is illustrated in the drawings, collars are fixed to the shaft 19 to prevent axially shifting thereof while allowing the shaft 19 to rotate freely about its own axis.
- the drive means includes in addition to the shaft 19 a disc 20 I lars.
- the driven means is proof an annular member 21 which has an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to that of the drive means 19,
- This annular member 21 is provided with an outer coating 22 which has a high coefficient of friction, this outer coating 22 engaging the annular driving surface of the disc 20 and the annular driven surface 14.
- a car rier means is provided to carry the transmission means 21, 22 for free turning movement about its axis of rotation, and this, carrier means takes the form of a spring leaf 23 which is fixed to the support means by an angle member 24 and which is fixed to another angle member 25 which carries the pin which extends through the central bore of the annular member 21 to support the latter for rotation about its axis.
- leaf spring 23 extends angularly up from the bottom wall of the casing 10 between the drive means and driven means, and furthermore the leaf spring 23 by its own resiliency urges the transmission means 21, 22 into engagement both with the drive means and the driven means.
- the diameter of the transmission means 21, 22 is larger than the smallest distance between the annular driven surface 14 and the annular driving surface at the left face of the disc 20, as viewed in Figs. 1 and 2, so that the transmission means cannot pass through the space between the drive means and driven means and is therefore pressed by the spring 23 to engagement with the drive means and driven means for reliably transmitting a drive from the drive means to the driven means.
- a spring 26 may be connected to an extension fixed to the flange 101 and to the leaf spring 23 to increase the force with which the latter urges the transmission means into engagement with I the drive means and the driven means.
- the entire shaft-19 may be shifted simply by disconnecting the collars 19a, 19b shown in Fig. 1 from the shaft 19 and shifting the latter with respect to these col- This disconnection may be effective simply by driving out the pins which fix these collars to the shaft 19, or instead of pins through the holes set screws may be unscrewed in order to release the fixed connection between the collars 19a, 19b and the shaft 19.
- Figs. 3-5 show a second embodiment of the structure according to the present invention, the structure of this embodiment being identical with that described above 4. except for the construction of the transmission means, the carrier means which carrie the transmission means, and the means for increasing the force with which the carrier means urges the transmission means into engagement with the drive means and the driven means.
- the transmissions means instead of including a single annular member provided with a peripheral coating of a high coefficient of friction, is in the form of a pair of annular members provided with a pair of peripheral coatings of a high coeflicient of friction 28, 29.
- this transmission means 27 is composed of a pair of annular members of different diameters which respectively carry the peripheral coatings 28, 29.
- the transmission member of larger diameter engages the driven annular surface 14, while the annular member of smaller diameter frictionally engages the annular driving surface of the disc 20.
- This transmis sion means 27 also has its axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the shaft19.
- the carrier means of Figs. 3-5 also is in the form of a leaf spring, but the leaf spring 30 of the carrier means of Figs. 3-5 is located on the side of shaft 19 which is opposite from the side on which the leaf spring 23 of the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2 is located. There is more room for the leaf spring 30 at the place where it is shown in Figs. 3 and 4, so that with this embodiment of the invention the parts may be much more compactly arranged and will require an even smaller space.
- the leaf spring 30 is fixed to the support 10 by an angle member and is provided with an angle member which turnably supports the transmission means 27, in the same way as with the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2.
- a Weight 31 is pro vided for increasing this force.
- the weight 31 is schematically shown in Figs. 3 and 4 as carried by an arm 32 which is freely turnable in a suitable bearing carried by the support means 10, so that this weight 31 bears down on a portion of the leaf spring 30.
- the illustration of the weight means of Figs. 3 and 4 is only diagrammatic. Actually a group of Weights may be provided and may engage the leaf spring 30 at any desired location in order to increase the force with which the transmission means 27 is urged into driving engagement with the drive means and the driven means.
- the smaller annular member of the transmission means 27 may be formed as a gear and the portion of the disc 20 which engages this smaller transmission member may be provided with teeth to mesh with such a gear.
- Fig. 7 Such a construction is shown in which the smaller annular member 29' of the transmission means 2 is formed with gear teeth which mesh with teeth provided at the rim of the disc 20.
- the annular driven surface 14 may be formed as a gear and in this case the larger annular transmission member would also be formed as a gear to mesh therewith.
- Fig. 6 shows a driven surface 14 in form of gear, the teeth of which mesh with the gear teeth provided on the larger annular trans mission member 28 of the transmission means 27'.
- the spindle and ring be coaxial.
- This coaxial arrangement can be provided if the spindle housing 11 is arranged so that it passes through a bore of the flange 101 which is concentric with the ring, and the spindle housing may have a snug fit in such a bore, or either the bow or the spindle housing may be made slightly conical so as to provide a Wedge fit.
- each individual spindle must be centered. With the support means shown in the drawings, this is possible, because, as is shown in Figs.
- the bottom wall of the support means 10 is formed with an opening 102 through which a tool may be inserted to loosen the nut 12 in order to shift the spindle assembly for centering purposes.
- the spindle assembly is shifted with respect to the flange 101, and actually the nut 12 is only loosened sufficiently to enable the spindle assembly to be shifted by applying the force of hammer blows to the flange 1-10 of the housing 11.
- the casing 10 is also provided with an opening 103.
