Improvements in Traverse Motions for Yarn Winding Machinery.
We, PATRICK FRASER and NORMAN FRASER, both of the Wellgate Works,
Arbroath, in the County of Forfar, North Britain, Engineers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows, that is to say:—
Our said invention comprises an improved construction of traverse motion for
yarn winders, the same being adjustable for length of traverse and for wear, and
being convenient and efficient in application and of moderate cost.
Our improved motion is adapted for a winding frame having two rows of spindles
on each side, the traverse guides for each row being on a long rod receiving its
motion from mechanism at the end of the frame. The end frame standard has
fixed on its outer side two longitudinal brackets, an upper and a lower one, the
outer ends of which are connected by a vertical stay bar. A longitudinal spindle
or stud fixed at its ends to the end frame and stay bar, has on it a sleeve on which
is fixed a pulley acted on by a driving belt. The sleeve is formed with two annular
flanges to which are fixed two parts together forming a drum presenting a slot
or groove the sides of which are formed by the two drum parts. On a fixed vertical
shaft at one side of the drum there are two short sleeves or tubular lever pieces
each formed with three lever arms. One arm of one lever piece is filled with an
anti-friction roller to work on the under side in the groove of the drum; and one
arm of the other lever piece is similarly fitted with an antifriction roller to work
on the upper side in the groove of the drum. The two other arms of each lever
piece are connected to the longitudinal traverse rods, and the groove in the drum
is shaped so as in rotating to impart rocking motions to the lever pieces, which
make the traverse rods reciprocate. The spindle carrying the drum is made
adjustable in position as are also the antifriction rollers of the lever pieces so as
to alter the extent of motion imparted when required; and when the sides of the
drum groove become worn the two parts of the drum can be fixed nearer together.
An adjustable tension pulley is arranged for rendering the driving belt tight
in any of the positions of the drum.

page_text: the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement, that
is to say:
-
Our said invention comprises an improved construction of traverse motion for
yarn winders, the same being adjustable for length of traverse and for wear, and
being convenient and efficient in application and of moderate cost.
And in order that our said invention and the manner of performing the same
may be properly understood we.hereunto append a sheet of explanatory drawings
showing the end frame standard of a winding machine having our improved traverse
motion applied thereto.
Figure 1 on the accompanying sheet of drawings is an end elevation showing our
improved traverse motion. Figure 2 is a side elevation and Figure 3 a similar
view but with some parts in section. In these drawings the same reference letters
and numerals are used to mark the same or like parts wherever they are repeated.
Our improved motion is adapted for a winding frame having two rows of spindles
on each side, the traverse guides for each row being on a long rod receiving its
motion from mechanism at the end of the frame. The end frame standard, A,
has fixed on its outer side two longitudinal brackets, an upper one, A 1, and a lower
one, A2, the outer ends of which are connected by a vertical stay bar, A. 3. A
longitudinal spindle or stud, B, fixed at its ends to the end frame, A, and stay
bar, A 3, has on it a sleeve, B 1, on which is fixed a pulley, C, driven by a belt, C 1,
from a pulley, C2, on the end of one of the rollers of the machine. The sleeve, B1,
is formed with two annular flanges, D1, D2, to which are fixed two parts, E1, E2,
together forming a drum presenting a slot or groove, E3, the sides of which are,
formed by the two drum parts, E1, E2. On a fixed vertical shaft, F, at one side
of the drum there are two short sleeves or tubular lever pieces, F1, F2, each
formed with three lever arms, G1, G2, G3. One arm, G-1, of one lever piece, F2,
is fitted with an antifriction roller, H 1, to work on the under side in the
groove, E3, of the drum; and one arm, G1, of the other lever piece, F1, is
similarly fitted with an antifriction roller, H2, to work on the upper side in the
groove, E3, of the drum. The two other arms, G2, G3, of each lever
piece, F1, F2, are connected to the longitudinal traverse rods, J1, J 2, part of two
of which is shown in Figures, 2, and 3, and the groove, E3, in the drum is shaped
so as in rotating to impart rocking motions to the lever pieces, F1, F2, which
make the traverse rods, J 1, J2, reciprocate. The spindle, B, carrying the drum
is adjustable in slots, K, in the end standard, A, and vertical, stay bar, A3, the
antifriction rollers, H 1, H2, of the lever pieces, F1, F2, being also made similarly
adjustable so as to alter the extent of motion imparted when required; and when
the sides of the drum groove, E3, become worn the two parts, E 1, E2, of the drum
can be fixed nearer together by filing the fitting strips of the flanges, D1, D2,
and drum parts, E1, E2. An adjustable tension pulley, L, is arranged on the
end standard, A, for rendering the driving belt, C1, tight in any of the positions
of the drum.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is: '
1. A traverse motion for yarn winding machinery consisting in combination
of two longitudinal brackets from the end frame connected by a vertical stay
bar a longitudinal spindle carried adjustably in the end frame and stay bar and
having on it a sleeve carrying a driven pulley and a drum, made in two adjustable
parts fixed to annular flanges on the sleeve and presenting a slot or groove between
them; a fixed vertical shaft on which are two sleeves or lever pieces each formed
with three arms one arm of each lever piece being fitted with adjustable anti-
friction rollers' to work in the groove of the drum and the other two arms of each
lever piece being connected to the traverse rods of the winding machinery, all
substantially as and for the purposes herein before described.;

page_text: 2. In traverse motions for yarn winding machinery, the combination and
arrangement of a rotating drum made in two adjustable parts fixed to annular
flanges on a sleeve and presenting a slot or groove between them with a fixed shaft
on which are two sleeves or lever pieces each formed with three arms, one arm
of each lever piece being adjustably fitted with an antifriction roller to work in
the groove of the drum and the other two arms of each lever piece being connected
to the traverse rods of the winding machinery substantially as and for the purposes
herein before described.
