Title: Improvements in Thread Winding Machines applicable for Winding Spools used in Embroidery Machines.
Inventor: RINCKENS FRITZ
IPC: D05C13/00
Filed: 1913-01-17
Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 1398. Rinckens, P. Jan. 17. Winding - machines; driving - arrangemÞnts; doffing-arrangements.-An automatic machine for winding spools used in embroidery machines comprises a hollow main driving-shaft 1, which drives a spindle shaft 15 disposed therein and one of two similarly-arranged shafts 19, 20, which, when the spool is fully wound, actuate a shaft 26 carrying cams which effect the ending and the ejection of the spool. The shaft 1 is mounted in ball bearings and drives the spindle shaft 15 by means of pawls 73 which carry pins 75, by means of which they are raised and the shafts disconnected. The thread-guide is oscillated by a connecting-rod which is connected by means of universal joints with the guide-rod and a pin adjustably mounted in a slot 7 in a disk driven from the shaft 1. The shaft 19 is driven from the main shaft by a positive driving-belt 22, comprising a perforated steel-band lined with leather, and drives the shaft 20 through a clutch 21, which, during the winding of the spool, is held disconnected by means of a rod 27 and lever 29, which is held by means of an adjustable stop 56 mounted upon a rod connected with a feeler 52. When the spool reaches the desired size, the feeler 52 is depressed and releases the stop 56, whereby a spring 28 connects the clutch 21 so that the cam shaft 26 is driven through a worm 24 and worm-wheel 25. Cams are arranged on the shaft which, in proper sequence, depress a rod to raise the thread-guide from the spool, operate a lever that carries the thread so that a few turns are wound upon the spindle in front of the spool, and depress a rod that causes inclines 67 to move longitudinally and so to raise the pawls 73 and disconnect the shaft 15 from the shaft 1. The worm-wheel 25 carries a pin 85 which actuates a lever 83 and moves an ejector against the action of a spring 81 so as to shift the spool towards the end of the spindle. The clutch 21 is disconnected and the lever 29 is again locked and the pawls 73 are connected by the movement of cams on the shaft 26, and another cam 62 is so shaped and so operated upon by a spring 64 as to return the shaft to its normal position. When the next spool is fully wound, the same operations are repeated and the first spool is pushed into a sleeve 51 and held by a spring, the thread extending therefrom being twisted and broken by the continued rotation of the spindle.

Abstract: 27,538. Keall, T. B., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Nov. 29. Edge-setting &c. ; ornamenting. - In an edgesetting or like machine having an oscillating or reciprocating tool, the tool is mounted so as to have a free movement, within limits, to enable it to adjust itself to variations in the inclination of the sole edge, and the path of this movement can be adjusted in a plane normal to the general plane of the sole, to set the acting face of the tool to correspond with the inclination of the sole edge of boots and shoes which differ in such inclination. As shown in Fig. 1, the tool A is mounted on a holder B, which is formed with a pair of knifeedges B<1> adapted to engage in angular recesses in the forward part A<3> of the tool. Projections A<5> on the rear of the tool engage within a recess B<2> in the sides of the holder, to retain the tool in position. Mounted in the rear of the holder is a screw E provided with a sleeve F, which has a pin or projection F<1> engaging in an open-ended slot A' in the tool, so that, by rotating the screw, the tool may be tilted on the knife-edges B<1> to suit the particular inclination of the sole edge to be operated upon: The slot A<4> is made somewhat wider than the width of the projection F', thus permitting a certain freedom of movement of the tool, to allow it to adjust itself to any variations in the inclination of the sole edge. The sleeve F is provided with a handle F<2>, by which it can be turned, against the action of a spring G, to disengage the projection F' from the slot A<4>, so that the tool can be removed from the holder. Preferably, a friction device I is provided to prevent displacement of the screw E from its adjusted position ; as shown in Fig. 1, this device is pressed against the screw by the tail G' of the spring G. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the adjusting-screw K has a reduced portion K<2>, which passes through, and is capab'e of turning in, a hole in the transverse rock-shaft N. A spring-pressed plunger O normally holds the projection L<1> of the sleeve L in the slot M of the tool A, while permitting it to be withdrawn therefrom when required for the removal of the tool. A stop N' on the shaft N engages in a recess B<4> in the holder B, to limit the forward and backward movements of the sleeve. Displacement of the screw K from its adjusted position is prevented by a spring-pressed plunger engaging the part K<2>. In both constructions, a stitch-wheeling disk D is preferably mounted oa the tool A, so as to partake of the angular movement of the tool.
