  • Publication number: 20080011892
    Abstract: Thread-guide device with modulated traversing with an individual thread-guide with a back-and-forth movement fixed to a cord open at the two ends and moved between two pulleys in an alternating clockwise/anticlockwise movement, each activated with its own electric motor, both motors being piloted in frequency. The pulleys are connected to springs which pull the thread-guide towards the centre of its run and which alternatingly accumulate and release energy with every run of the thread-guide.

  • Patent number: 5992790
    Abstract: A method of finishing a reel of wound yarn with a tail end of yarn hanging from the reel can prevent the tail end from becoming caught up and thus unwinding considerable lengths of yarn from the reel and comprises the steps of unwinding a predetermined length of yarn including the tail end, folding the length forming an eye by means of a connection of distinct points on the predetermined length of yarn adjacent the cylindrical surface of the reel, rotating the reel to form at least one rewound turn of yarn including the first connection of points and connecting the eye projecting from the rewound turn to a point of the predetermined length of yarn which is not rewound so as to form a second connection.

  • Patent number: 4354343
    Abstract: The invention provides an injector having a suitably formed head which can partially penetrate through a lateral aperture in a spindle into the vicinity of a chamber containing an expansible capsule.Penetrating into the chamber, the injector laterally displaces the capsule and by injecting through a beak a fluid under pressure creates in the axial passage a negative-positive pressure necessary for transporting the filament.In the vicinity of the chamber there can advantageously be provided a mobile section which is circumferentially displaceable by a projection which is included on the head of the injector, when the injector penetrates or is penetrating the spindle.The injector is further provided with an arm which may be pivoted in the vicinity of the balloon container or on an auxiliary bench.

  • Patent number: 3941323
    Abstract: A device for finding, extracting and temporarily positioning the end of the yarn in cops. More particularly, a device that uses single-cop compartments, which move forward in steps, and wherein the cops lie projecting from both ends of the compartments and already correctly oriented. The part on the end of the bobbin is affected by three actions to extract the end of the yarn, two of them being mechanical and the other being pneumatic. Subsequently all the wound yarn is affected by a sucking action so as to pick up the end of the yarn with certainty, wherever it may be. The operations are carried out in four successive stations, wherein the cops are kept in rotation between suitable mandreltailstock groups except in the third station, where the cops are halted.
