Title: Improvements in or relating to yarn winding machines
IPC: B65H54/42
Filed: 1936-08-07
Abstract: 481,192. Winding yarns. KINSELLA, E., and MONCRIEFF, R. W. Aug. 7, 1936, No. 21797. [Class 120 (ii)] A yarn-winding machine comprises a rotatable package support mounted in a movable cradle, a traverse guide moved lengthwise of the support, and a member contacting with the surface of the package and geared to the cradle so as to move the latter and the axis of the package away from the path of the traverse guide as the diameter of the package increases; the package support may be frictionally driven and a tension device connected with the friction driving means is adapted to be controlled by the yarn so that more or less slip is allowed in the drive as the tension of the yarn proceeding to the support increases or decreases. As shown in Fig. 1, the yarn 2 from the spinning cabinet 3 passes over a tension bar 37 at the end of a lever 38 connected by a link 40 to the end of a lever 41 pivoted in the machine frame 20 and carrying a slightly eccentric pin 42 engaging a hole in a slotted member 18 mounted on a pivot 19 in the frame. The package support 8 is mounted on a spindle 9 journalled in a cradle 10, one end member 12 of which is pivoted on the shaft 5, Fig. 3, carrying the friction roller 6 driving the friction roller 7 resting thereon and mounted at one end of the spindle 9 which is guided by the other end member 13 of the cradle so that the roller 7 is free to move radially, the end member 13 being supported by a pin 16 guided in the slot 17 in the member 18. A feeler wheel 23 driven by contact with the surface of the package is geared by worms and worm wheels to a screwed shaft 31 rotatable in the frame 20 and passing through a trunnion 32, Fig. 4, connected by a link 33 to the pin 16 so that as the package grows the shaft 31 is slowly rotated and pulls the cradle away from the traverse bar and keeps the periphery of the package in substantially the same position relative thereto ; the shaft 31 and one half of the trunnion 32 are formed with buttress threads and the threaded half trunnion can move out of engagement with the shaft against the action of a spring when the cradle 10 is pushed towards the traverse bar after the completion of a package. As the tension of the yarn increases, the pin 42 is rotated slightly to lift the member 18 and so ease the pressure between the rollers 6, 7 and keep the tension and rate at which the yarn is wound substantially constant. In another form, one end of the spindle 9 is mounted in a' fork of a bellcrank lever pivoted in the cradle carrying the spindle 9 and carrying the trunnion engaged by the screwed shaft driven from the feeler wheel and the tension bar is pivoted in the cradle and connected by links and levers to the bell-crank lever; several of the winding devices may be mounted end to end and in rows so that a large number of yarns arranged in warp form may be wound simultaneously.

Filed: 1952-09-01
Abstract: 718,328. Surgical cutting-appliances. MOLLEN, P., and MOLLEN, H. Sept. 1, 1952 [Sept. 1, 1951], No. 21878/52. Class 81(2) A device for cutting human skin comprises a magazine containing parallel blades which are displaceable under the action of a spring to individually and successively supply them to a discharge head which extends at right angles to one end of the magazine so that the blades are advanced in the head at right angles to the direction of supply, means being provided to retain each blade in the head during use. The blades 10, Figs. 1 and 2, are stacked in the magazine 11 to one end of which is secured a frame 2 of a puncture head 1. A feeding plate 3 connected with an operating knob 5 is secured within the frame 2 and may be withdrawn by the knob 5 against a spring 6 to allow a blade 10 to be fed from the magazine 11 to the puncture head 1. When in position for use the blade 10 is held in the lower part of the puncture head 1 by portions 8 of displaceable side pieces 7 which engage lugs 9 at each side of the upper end of the blade 10. The blades 10 are fed to the head by pressure provided by a coil spring 14, Fig. 3, one end of which lies within a passage 15 parallel to the stack of blades 10 and is secured by a pin 13 to a pressure plate 12 which is urged towards the head 1. At the end away from the head 1, the magazine 11 is hinged to a base plate 16. The head 1 and the base plate 16 are held away from each other by a stop (not shown). When the stop is released the head 1 is urged towards the base plate 16 by a spring (not shown) and the blade 10 penetrates the skin through an opening 17 in the base plate 16. After use, the blade is ejected by moving the side pieces 7 outwardly. A slidable stop (not shown) movable over a scale is provided to limit the approach of the head 1 to the base plate 16 so that the depth of puncture in the skin may be controlled. In an alternative construction, Fig. 5, the feeding plate is replaced by a carriage 24 which is slidably connected with a rod 25 surrounding which is a helical spring 27 which advances the carriage 24. The blades 10 in the magazine 22 are similarly fed to the head 23 by a carriage 44 pressed against the blade stack by a helical spring 47 disposed on a rod 45 on which the carriage 44 slides. The depth of penetration of the blade is determined by the position of a housing 34 surrounding the end of the head 23 holding the blade 10<SP>1</SP> which projects through an opening 33 in the cage 32 at the base of the head. The blade 10<SP>1</SP> is ejected by rotation of the cage 32 so that the blade 10<SP>1</SP> projects through a longer opening in the cage 32. The device is used in vaccination and the obtaining of blood samples. The blade may be lancet-shaped.
