United States Patent The present invention relates to a safety stop for spindles of textile spinning frames or the like, the general object of the invention being to provide means for securing the spindles in their position in the spinning rail when the cops or other yarn receivers are removed therefrom. Another object of :the invention is to provide a safety stop: mechanism which is simple and practical in cons'truction,strong and reliable in use, relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and otherwise well adapted for the purpose for which the same is intended.
-It is another object of the present invention to provide a safety stop for spindles of textile spinning frames which comprise-a safety stop mechanism which is tiltable against the action ofa compression spring about an edge formed by'a leg of the stop arranged between the spinning rail and the .whorl and by a surface extending in a plane running transversely to the spindle axis.
With these and other objects in view which will become apparent in the following detailed description, the present invention will be clearly understood in connection-with the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a part sectional side elevational view of the safety' stop mechanism constructed in accordance with the present invention;
Fig.2 is a sectional 'view taken along line 11-11 of Fig; l; and 7 U Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional elevational view of another embodiment of the safety stop mechanism.
In the construction illustrated in the drawing, the
spindle 1 is rotatably mounted in the bolster 4 as well as removable in directionof the arrow B. The stop 3 comprising a hook-shaped operating finger 3b, a projection 3a, anda leg 3d is the mainpart of the safety stop mechanism. Thewhorl 1c of the spinning spindle 1 has a stepped shoulder-1a into the step 2 of which extends hbiihqokphapedportion 3b.with itsprojection 3a, so that the stop 3 is turnable about a horizontally extending axis AA (Fig. 2). The stop 3 is tiltable against the action of the compression spring 5 about an edge 30 which is formed by the leg 3d of the stop 3 arranged between the spinning rail 7 and the whorl 1c and by a surface extending in a plane running transversely to the spindle axis. The stop 3 is held by a bolt 8 and guided by two gripping surfaces of a pocket 9 in the flange 4a of the bolster 4 supported on the spinning rail 7, so that the bolt 8 extends through an elongated hole in the leg 3d.
The driving belt 10 drives the spindle 1 which is in known manner rotatably mounted as well as axially removable in direction of the arrow B in the hollow bolster 4 by means of a spindle blade 1d extending into the latter. The projection 3a prevents in the position shown in Fig. 1 accidental removal or raising of the spindle 1 in direction of the arrow B when only the cop or other yarn receiver (not shown) supported on the spindle 1 is not to be raised therefrom in direction of the arrow 13, since the shoulder 1b of the whorl 1c abuts the projection 3a of the stop 3, upon raising the spindle 1 slightly from its support on the spinning rail 7.
Should it be desired to remove the spindle 1 after it has been stopped from the bolster 4 in direction of'th'e arrow B, the stop 3, the projection 3a of which is a portion of the operating finger 3b, is then tilted in direc-' tion of the arrow C about the horizontally extending tilting axis AA formed by the edge 30 of the leg 3d,
which tilting is effected by finger-tip pressure exerted upon the operating finger 3b in direction of the arrow D. This tilting is made possible by the elongated hole 6 in the leg 3d, the entire stop being non-positively secured by the bolt 8 through the action of the compressionspring 5 and held by two gripping surfaces of the pocket 9 in the flange 4a of the bolster 4. The spindle 1 can now be removed in direction of the arrow B, as the shoulder 1bv of the whorl 1c can now be moved freely past the projection 3a of the stop 3.
Instead of the compression spring 5 there may be used a rubber spring, or the like, filling the pocket be-f tween the spindle rail 7 and the flange 4a such that no fly can collect therein (Fig. 3).
An essential feature of the present invention resides'in having the bolt 8 as well as the spring 5, by means of which the stop 3 is suspended-on the flange 4a of the bolster 4, arranged in the pocket 9 which is cast or machined in the flange 4a. In contrast to known spring hook arrangements, 1 the bolt 8 is released of power, as. on raising the spindle while removing the cop or other; yarn receiver in direction of the arrow B. The power is taken up by the flange 4 1 by means of the stop 3. In addition, the present invention secures the advantage that the bolt is securely arranged within the pocket. A' gap of approximately 0.5 mm. in width is provided be-i tween the spinning rail 7 and the head of the bolt 8 so. that the bolt after but half a turn would already'abuf against the spinning rail 7, if it should happen that in,
, the course of time the bolt becomes loose owing to vibra-E tion of the spinning frame.
Accidental, self-tilting of the safety stop 3 is even then impossible when the cop or other yarn receiver is pulled off from the spindle with considerable force. On the other hand, tilting at will can readily be effected by applying finger tip pressure indirection of the arrow', D upon the upper end of the safety stop 3 which is pref erably integral and bent from strip steel. Over and above that the present invention assures perfect return of the safety stop 3 to its operating position when the spindle 1 is slippedagain on the spindle blade 1d mounted as part thereof in the bolster 4, after it has been removed therefrom. g Y
-A further 'advantage'of the invention resides in'the' fact that the hook 3a, 3b possesses but a very small surface where fly or lint could collect and therefore can be kept clean easily, as besides this hook the safety stop mechanism has no other parts projecting over the edge of the whorl. This results in the additional advantage that the safety stop mechanism may just as well be located at the front or the rear of the spindle with respect to its location in the spinning frame. When placed on the side facing the operator so as to be operative on the stepped shoulder of the whorl, the hook may be located so low that interference with the belt for driving the whorl is impossible.
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.
It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims, and while two embodiments of the present invention are disclosed, it is to be understood that these embodiments are given by example only and not in a limiting sense, the scope of the present invention being determined by the objects and the claims.
