  • Patent number: 4036002
    Abstract: In a spinning device of an open end spinning machine, a silver is fed to and passes through a feeding and opening device which opens the silver into individual fibers and feeds them into a rotary spinning chamber where they are collected and discharged as a finished yarn therefrom. In order to clean the fibers, when they pass through the feeding and opening device, dirt of the fibers is adapted to be thrown out by centrifugal force and leaves the fibers through a dirt discharge opening and enters through an intermediate duct into a dirt collecting chamber. The chamber is provided with an air inlet opening into the atmosphere and an air outlet connected with a source of negative pressure to produce a current of air which flows through the air inlet and outlet and by which the dirt collected in the chamber is continuously removed out of the chamber. A part of the air current tends to be directed through the intermediate duct to the dirt discharge opening.

In order to clean the fibers, when they pass through the feeding and opening device, dirt of the fibers is adapted to be thrown out by centrifugal force and leaves the fibers through a dirt discharge opening into a dirt collecting chamber. At this time, loss of fibers has to be prevented and for such purpose an air supply duct is arranged adjacent to the dirt discharge opening to introduce an air current into the fibers opposite to the direction of movement of the dirt particles. The air supply duct is adapted to allow the speed, the flow rate, and/or the direction of the air current to change in accordance with the conditions mentioned in the following description.

  • Patent number: 3940076
    Abstract: Apparatus for handling yarn ends during a donning operation on a textile machine wherein in each operation unit, a yarn package is formed on a bobbin rotatably held by a cradle and rotated by the friction roller of a take-up mechanism. Just before or after doffing a full yarn package from the take-up mechanism, a yarn passage is formed by a yarn which is continuously supplied from the operation unit at a position in front of a part of the peripheral surface of the friction roller which the yarn passes over during the normal take-up operation. A fresh bobbin urges the yarn of the yarn passage toward the friction roller and then the fresh bobbin held by the cradle is rested on the friction roller. The yarn connected to the full yarn package is severed during the operation.

  • Patent number: 3939634
    Abstract: An empty bobbin supply device for use in a doffing machine which travels in front of spinning units and is adapted for doffing a cheese and donning an empty bobbin in place thereof. This empty bobbin supply device has a reserve box, a reserve conveyor and a horizontal transfer conveyor, which are all positioned substantially in a vertical direction. An empty bobbin comes downwardly by gravity from the reserve box and is received between transfer plates of the reserve conveyor. The bobbin is then transferred downwardly by the circulating reserve conveyor, and in the absence of a bobbin on the horizontal transfer conveyor, the bobbin is delivered therefrom, while when a bobbin is present on the transfer conveyor, the bobbin remains on the reserve conveyor. The terminal of the horizontal transfer conveyor serves as a stand-by position for an empty bobbin in the doffing portion.
