Abstract:
It is possible to suppress damage to a yarn path guide mechanism and a textile machine. There is a first supporter which makes contact with a supporting shaft supporting a roller, a second supporter which is capable of making contact with the supporting shaft, and a biasing member which biases the second supporter in a direction in which the supporting shaft is sandwiched between the second supporter and the first supporter. When a virtual straight line which passes through a winding center and a rotation center is a first virtual straight line whereas a virtual straight line which extends in a direction orthogonal to the first virtual straight line and passes through the rotation center is a second virtual straight line, the second supporter makes contact with a part of the supporting shaft, which is positionally opposite to the winding center over the second virtual straight line.
Abstract:
A device and a method wind a thread on a winding machine. The winding machine has a spool sleeve and a spool holder, which has two oppositely disposed centering plates, having an adjustable axial distance relative to each other, for tensioning the spool sleeve. The centering plates each have a centering cone which engages in an open spool sleeve end, and an arrester hook for arresting the thread being provided in one of the centering plates. The arrester hook is oriented in the circumferential direction of the centering plate, and the centering plate having the arrester hook contains an outer cone which overlaps the outer diameter of the spool sleeve end. An inside of the arrester hook is formed by a nose-like recess provided in the outer cone.
Abstract:
A system and method for producing a spool having a continuous fabric strip is disclosed which produces an extended length fabric strip made from a plurality of seamed standard lengths of the fabric, the extended length fabric strip being substantially spirally wound upon a hollow core with consecutive windings of the extended length fabric strip being located close adjacent each other, and with consecutive rows of the extended length fabric strip overlaying each other on the hollow core. In a first embodiment, the standard length fabric strips are joined together at their respective contiguous ends using a small strip of heat-activated seaming tape. In a second embodiment, the standard length fabric strips are stitched together at their respective contiguous ends using thread. The winding operation simultaneously controls both the lateral position at which the extended length fabric strip is wound onto the core and the rotation of the core to achieve the tight and highly compact winding operation, with the speed of the winding operation being controlled according to the amount of the extended length fabric strip which is available at any given time. The extended length fabric strip is suitable for use in the manufacture of paint roller covers.

These control devices 37, 38 and 39 are connected with each other by means of a machine bus 40. During the process of replacing a finished cheese with an empty tube at any winding station, a cheese brake integrated into the winding creel 18 and/or a creel lifting device 49 can be actuated by the service unit computer 38 via the machine bus 40 in a pulsed manner when needed, for example to dislodge a cheese 11 which is stuck in the winding creel.
Abstract:
An adapter rotatably supports a tubular end of a yarn carrier in a take-up winding assembly of a yarn processing machine which accommodates the placement of a yarn transfer tail across an end surface of the yarn carrier between the yarn carrier and the adapter without breaking or cutting of the yarn transfer tail during winding of the yarn. The adapter includes a hub portion for extending axially into the tubular end of the yarn carrier to center the yarn carrier on the adapter and which has an outside surface with a cross-sectional diameter less than the diameter of an adjacent inside surface of the yarn carrier for defining a space therebetween to accommodate the placement of the yarn tail. An annular flange portion extends radially outwardly from the rear of the hub portion and has an inside surface for being positioned adjacent the end surface of the yarn carrier. Members, preferably in the form of equally spaced ribs, are formed on the annular flange portion (1) for abutting the end surface of the yarn carrier to define a space between the end surface of the yarn carrier and the inside surface of the annular flange to accommodate the placement of the yarn tail and (2) for engaging and, preferably slightly penetrating, the end surface of the yarn carrier to retard relative rotation between the yarn carrier and the adapter.
Abstract:
In a textile machine, in which a package is arranged to abut against a rotating drum for rotation for winding up a yarn on a surface of a take-up tube of the package and a brake device is provided in a take-up tube support portion for braking the rotation of the take-up tube in relation with stopage of the rotary drum, there is provided a package support device which comprises an opening/closing arm supporting the brake device and rockably connected to a cradle base of a cradle arm; and a lock mechanism provided between the opening/closing arm and the cradle base for regulating the rocking movement of the opening/closing arm.
Abstract:
To simplify and accelerate the chucking of a journal-free beam or roll mandrel in a winding machine and also to automate and accelerate the alignment of the winding machine and the journal-free beam or roll mandrel in relation to a creel middle plane or centerline, a displacement device is connected to an auxiliary side stand by at least one first extension link or hollow spindle and is also connected with a displaceable support by at least one second extension link or solid spindle. To achieve these effects, the first and second extension links or spindles are moved or positively controlled in opposite displacement directions through respectively equal distances relative to a spatially fixed plane passing through the displacement device and which plane extends transverse to the direction of displacement of the winding machine.
Abstract:
A yarn winding apparatus comprises a rotating drum having a winding part rotatable at a predetermined peripheral speed for winding yarn around a peripheral surface thereof, a transferring part for successively transferring the yarn as wound around the winding part, and a storage part for storing the yarn as fed by the transferring part, the winding, transferring and storage portions being disposed adjacent to one another in the order named, a toothed wheel for catching the continuously supplied yarn around the rotating drum, and a yarn guide for guiding the continuously supplied yarn onto the winding part of the rotating drum. The yarn layers as wound on the winding part are to be discharged successively to the storage part through the transfer part so that the yarn winding speed can be kept always substantially equal to the peripheral speed of the winding part.
Abstract:
A cable winding machine movable on a bedding (2) and having two vertical support members (1) interconnected by an extensible cross bar (14). The support members carry spindles (3) for supporting a cable reel (4). Each of the spindles is displaceable along its support member (1). The cable reel (4) rests on a pallet (7), except during a cable reeling or unreeling process. Lifting members (9) project at the lower part of at least one of the support members (1) for carrying the pallet (7) at the same time as the cable reel (4) is carried by the spindles (3). The lifting members (9) are resiliently suspended and assume a lower position when they are loaded by a pallet (7) with a reel (4) and assume an upper position when they are loaded with only a pallet (7). In the upper position of the lifting members (9), the pallet (7) is lifted up from the bedding (2) in order not to obstruct the movement of the cable winding machine on the bedding (2).
