Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Winding Yarns upon Bobbins or the like.
Inventor: GOSLING FREDERICK HERBERT
Filed: 1905-08-15
Granted: 1906-08-15
Abstract: 16,535. Gosling, F. H. Aug. 15. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Yarns, warping; warp threads, uniting.-Relates to improvements in the type of machine described in Specification No. 9916, A.D. 1905, for winding yarns from warps, sections, beams, bobbins, or other sources, either singly or in multiple, on to flanged bobbins, paper tubes, or the like. In order to allow the spindles P to be made short, the transverse bar A operating the rails M carrying the thread-guides N is placed below the bed of the machine instead of immediately below the bottom flange of the bobbins ; or, in a modification, the spindles are spaced wider apart at suitable points and the transverse bar reciprocates in the space thus provided between the bobbins. A suitable arrangement for operating the thread-guide is shown in Fig. 1. A cam F on a shaft E operates a swinging arm H, which through a chain J and rod K<2> causes the levers K, K' to raise the bars A and the attached rails M. During the return motion of the arm H, the bars fall by their own weight. The thread-guides N are placed on the top of the rails M instead of at the side. The driving-cylinder Q is placed between the spindles as shown in Fig. 3, and the driving- bands are arranged at each side so as to balance the strains. More than one driving-cylinder may be used if desired. The driving-cylinder receives motion from the main shaft through a variable - speed arrangement consisting of a disk S on the main shaft and a friction wheel R, which is keyed on a crossshaft B and is moved radially across the disk S by means of a hand-operated screw-shaft V. By these means, the speed of the bobbins mav be decreased as their diameters increase. The shaft B from which the cylinder Q is driven also operates the cam-sbaft E which actuates the traverse mechanism. The thread-separating device W is of the type described in Specification No. 2647, A.D. 1904, except that the bars W<1> present an edge or angle to the threads. Fig. 4 represents a tie-up stand. The ends of the exhausted warp are passed around the lease-rods 4, 5 and secured to one end rod, the ends of the new warp pass over the rods 6, 7 to the other end rod as shown, and corresponding ends are then cut near the rods 5, 6 and tied together in the centre. The Provisional Specification states that an open reed through which the ends are passed may be combined with the tie-up stand.
