Title: Improvements in or relating to spinning frames or the like
IPC: D01H13/16
Filed: 1956-10-23
Abstract: 870,999. Stopping delivery in spinning &c. frames. VARLEY, K. Oct. 22, 1957 [Oct. 23, 1956], No. 32254/56. Class 120(2) Apparatus for interrupting the feed in a spinning &c. frame when the yarn breaks or slackens, comprises a detector 5, with a movable yarn-engaging element, and an arrestor 8 working in conjunction through electrical means controlled by a master switch. One such switch may control a number of circuits with detectors and arrestors, and the detectors can be made inoperative individually. The detector may take the form of a forked member rockable about a pivot to close contacts; an eye sliding vertically to close contacts when it falls; a spindle rotatable to close contacts and carrying an eye on a cranked arm balanced by a weight; or a U-bar with its ends bent at right angles to form spindles one carrying a contact and the other a balance weight. The yarn-arrestor may comprise a comb or a pad pivotally mounted on a plate with a guide-slot and one or more guide-eyes and operated by a solenoid &c. when the detector closes its associated contacts. The master switch 26 Fig. 6 is closed when a member 25c is operated by a handle 25 to move a fork controlling the drive-belt to the frame. In Fig. 7, a solenoid 30 operated by detector 5a lifts rollers 32 off a driving-roller 33 to interrupt the feed; at the same time it actuates a member 29 to brake or declutch a receiving spindle 4.

Classes 120(2) and 120(3) A method for controlling the air flow in pneumatic and catcher systems for spinning machines in which one or more end catcher units provided with filter chambers are connected to an exhausting fan by a suction pipe is characterized in that the total amount of air sucked out is kept constant automatically. As shown, in a device for carrying out the method of the invention, air is sucked through a pipe 4 into a filter chamber 11 containing a filter 12 and control device 7 consisting of a rectangular pipe 24 containing a two-way damper 19. An opening 20 at one side of the pipe 24 communicates with the spinning room, the area of the opening being adjustable by means of a sliding door 16. The damper 19 consists of a disc mounted by means of arms 18 to turn on a shaft 17 on one end of which is a lever 25 having pivotally connected to one arm the armature 30 of an electromagnet 32, a tension spring 28 being attached to the other arm and to the stand 31 of the magnet 32.
