Granted: 1902-10-09
Abstract: 10,885. Boult, A, J., [International Winding Co.]. May 12. Doubling and winding machines.-Relates to improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 17,387, A.D. 1897. Each thread is passed in a zig-zag fashion between the bars of two grids, Figs. 9 and 10, of which one is fixed in position, while the other is provided with a weighted arm 15. Both grids are bent outwards, as shown, so as to provide a flaring mouth to facilitate the entrance of the thread between them, and they may be provided each with a longitudinal slot 23 for retaining the thread in a proper position. Suitable guides are provided at each end of the apparatus, and at the entrance end a pivoted " slub detector " a, of the form shown in Figs. 3 and 4, is placed having its projecting end 13 passing into the flaring mouth of the tension apparatus. On the passage of a knot or slub on the yarn, the detector a is forcibly tilted so as to separate the grids and release the tension, whereon the drop wire 26 of the usual stopmotion falls, and the machine is automatically stopped, while the knot or slub moves out of the slot 11 of the detector and the thread is released therefrom without being broken. As shown in Fig. 2, the delivery spindle l and the tension apparatus &c. are mounted on a bracket k, which is pivoted about an axis which is coincident with that of the guide 26 of the drop wire, so that the apparatus may be turned without disturbing the relative positions of the parts. With regard to the drop wire, the spindle l is mounted on a weighted arm m, the position of which is regulated by a set-screw p, while the spindle can be swung forwards as shown in dotted lines. Motes and other loose impurities are removed by the bars of the tension grids, which open and close with the increase and decrease of the tension of the yarn being drawn from the spindle l. The bars of the grids may be caused to pass one another to a greater or less extent, according to the quality of the yarn or thread ; or, instead of slotted plates forming grids, corrugated plates may be employed.
