Textile machine producing cross-wound packages, comprising a cross-wound package transport apparatus
Patent number: 11649135Abstract: A textile machine for producing cross-wound packages, the machine being equipped with a plurality of workstations arranged next to one another on both longitudinal sides of the machine and having a cross-wound package transport apparatus. The cross-wound package transport apparatus has a first transport device, arranged between the two rows of workstations for conveying cross-wound packages, and a handling apparatus for moving cross-wound packages from the first transport device to the second transport device. The handling apparatus is arranged between the end regions of the first transport device.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Saurer Spinning Solutions GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 11060210Abstract: Method for operating a service unit for processing work orders regarding a cross-wound package/empty tube doffing process employed at spinning machines producing take-up packages that process at least two different lots, whereby the service unit is fed an empty tube via the spinning machine's tube feed track, and the fed empty tube is taken up by the service unit. If the current work order for the cross-wound package/empty tube doffing of the workstations expires before it is processed and the empty tube is exchanged and another work order has come in which is for a workstation requiring a cross-wound package/empty tube doffing for another lot, the already taken up empty tube is released by the service unit, and the service unit takes up an empty tube of another lot in order to be able to carry out a cross-wound package/empty tube doffing process at the other workstation.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Saurer Spinning Solutions GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20200331721Abstract: A textile machine for producing cross-wound packages, which has a plurality of workstations on the two longitudinal sides of the machine and is equipped with a tube magazine arranged at an end of the machine, the tube magazine having a plurality of empty-tube transport rows, driven by electric motor and loaded with empty tubes of different yarn lots. In order to avoid the fixed division of the empty-tube transport rows that hitherto was defined by the construction of the tube magazine and thus to avoid limited variations in the yarn lot management, the invention provides for the empty-tube transport rows to be equipped with electric drives, which are connected to a control unit of the textile machine, the machine control system being designed in such a way that different lot management programs are set by software.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2020Publication date: October 22, 2020Inventors: Eduard Prediger, Michael Spitzer, Heiko Toepke, Jonathan Sprecher, Philipp Schiffers, Wolfgang Doerner, Harald Wassen

Patent number: 7454889Abstract: A method for producing an effect yarn on an open-end rotor spinning machine, formed from an alternating line-up of yarn sections and effects consisting of pre-determined thickenings, wherein an effect is produced where the yarn is joined by means of a piecing end, in the piecing region of the yarn located downstream of the piecing end, following a break in the thread. The quality of the yarn produced in this way is improved such that unwanted deviations from the pre-determined repeat of pattern of the effect yarn, caused by piecing regions, are eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2004Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Oerlikon Textile GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20070151224Abstract: The aim of the invention is to produce an effect yarn on an open-end rotor spinning machine, formed from an alternating line-up of yarn sections and effects consisting of pre-determined thickenings. To this end, an effect is produced where the yarn is joined by means of a piercing end, in the piercing region of the yarn located downstream of the piercing end, following a break in the thread. The invention enables the quality of the yarn produced in this way to be improved such that unwanted deviations from the pre-determined repeat of pattern of the effect yarn, caused by piercing regions, are eliminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2004Publication date: July 5, 2007Applicant: Saurer GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6637695Abstract: A method of winding the yarn traveling at a work station of a spinning bobbin winding machine or of a bobbin winding machine from a yarn source onto a take-up bobbin (4). After each yarn interruption, the yarn end is unwound from the take-up bobbin (4), a yarn joinder reconnects the yarn source and the take-up bobbin (4) and the winding process is then continued if a tolerable yarn joining location is present. Upon the occurrence of each yarn interruption, the amount of yarn wound since the last yarn joinder is determined. If such amount of yarn is determined to be less than a predetermined amount of yarn, a sufficient amount of yarn is unwound and separated from the take-up bobbin (4) to include the last-occurring yarn joining location in the separated yarn section. This results in an optical improvement in the quality of the finished textile product.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2001Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: W. Schlafhorst AG & Co.Inventors: Wilhelm Oehrl, Bert Hurtz, Wolfgang Dörner, Gudrun Doss
