Title: Improvements in Thread Winding Machines.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1908-03-10
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 5408. Lake, W. E., [Hansen, T.]. March 10. Winding-machines.-A thread-winding machine adapted to form cops with a wind having a quick traverse and known as the " Fiji wind " is shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. The traverse is produced by a cam G<1> mounted on a shaft G supported in a rocking-frame F<1>. The cam is driven from the driving-shaft C by belt gearing G<5> and toothed gearing G<2>, and a cam-pinf<7> is connected by a rod f<6> to the thread-guide f<5>. The thread-guide is mounted in an adjustable guideway f<4> carried by the rocking-frame, and it can be set parallel or inclined to the axis of the cop spindle C<3> according as a cylindrical or a tapered cop is required. The pressure of the thread-guide against the cop is produced by a weight F<7> acting on levers F<6> on a rock-shaft F<4>, and the rock-shaft is connected by a rod F<10> to the rocking-frame. As the cop grows, the rocking-frame is pushed outwards, the leverage of the weight diminishes, and the pressure of the thread-guide against the cop diminishes correspondingly. The tension mechanism consists of a row of pins h<2> on a bracket B<6>, and a similar row of pins h' on a plate H hinged to the bracket, the thread J being gripped-between the two rows of pins as it passes between them. The hinged plate has a pivoted rod h<5> carrying a roller h<8> adapted to be acted on by a cam h<9>, which can be set so as to bring the required one of its various working faces into action, the cam pressing the hinged plate outwards against the pull of a spring H<1> and so varying the grip of the two rows of pins and the tension of the thread. A wing-nut device h<12> is used for the primary adjustment of the tension. As the cop grows, the outward movement of the rocking- frame moves the rock-shaft F<4> and the multi-faced cam h<9> mounted thereon, so as to diminish the friction on the thread correspondingly. When the cop is complete, the machine is stopped by an adjustable slotted rod k<1>, which is pivoted to the rocking-frame and engages with a pin on a twoarmed lever E<3>, carrying on its shorter arm a lug e. The lug is disengaged from a dog d and allows a spring to press an arm D<5> into engagement with a clutch D to disengage it from the driving-pulley C<1>. The machine is stopped, if the thread breaks, by the release of a bent wire j<1> over which the thread passes. The bent-wire is connected to an arm j<3>, which then releases a weighted rod j<5> connected to an arm j<9> having a stud adapted to act on a projecting arm on the shaft e<3>, which carries another arm adapted to act on the long arm of the two armed lever E<3>, which moves to disengage the driving-clutch as before. The disengagement of the clutch brings a strap brake K into operation to stop the machine more quickly.
