  • Patent number: 4854511
    Abstract: A yarn storage and return device for yarn being wound on a conical bobbin driven at a constant speed. The device comprises a lever system for speed. The device comprises a lever system for storing and returning the yarn and for regulating and monitoring the amount of stored yarn. The yarn is drawn into the storage position by an arm of the lever system and is then released (i.e. returned) from this storage position. This returning operation releases the yarn from its storage position and replaces it (returns it) to its normal feed path. The device also comprises a transducer, and electric comparator, and an electric processor control unit to convert, compare and process an electrtic controlling signal to activate a drive source. The drive motor actuates a tensioning element which affects the storage operation of the device. The device further comprises a bidirectional drive unit to obtain a variation in the average yarn winding speed to restore the storage operation to a predetermined range of values.

  • Patent number: 4854510
    Abstract: A device and method for winding conical bobbins with yarn withdrawn at constant speed from individual spinning units, and comprising: a deflecting roller, which moves backwards and forwards by a swinging arm, which compensates for the different speeds at which the yarn is collected on the bobbin under formation wherein yarn is drawn into the storage position and is then released from this storage position, (i.e. returned). This returning operation releases the yarn from its storage position and replaces it (returns it), to its normal feed path; two proximity sensors which defines the range of swing of the yarn storage and return arm; an electronic control unit which receives an electrical signal from the proximity sensors when the arm swings stray outside the regular range to generate, an electrical control signal which activates a pressure variator which varies the pressure on a disc yarn tensioner. This changes the tension on the yarn to return the storage swing to within the regular range.

  • Patent number: 4854512
    Abstract: A device and method for winding conical bobbins with yarn withdrawn at constant speed from individual spinning units, and comprising: a deflecting roller, or similar element, which is connected to and moved backwards and forwards by a swinging plate element which by storing and returning the yarn compensates for the different speeds at which the yarn is collected on the conical surface of the bobbin under formation wherein yarn is drawn into the storage position and is then released from this storage position, (i.e. returned).

  • Patent number: 4854509
    Abstract: A device and method for winding conical bobbins with yarn withdrawn at constant speed from individual spinning units, and comprising: a deflecting roller or similar element, which is connected to and moved backwards and forwards by a swinging flat element for yarn storage and accumulation, to compensate the variation in the speed at which the yarn is collected on the conical surface of the bobbin under formation wherein yarn is drawn into the storage position and is then released from this storage position, (i.e. returned).

  • Patent number: 4809927
    Abstract: A disc-type yarn tensioner consisting of one or more tensioning elements in series, each composed of a pair of idly-rotating mutually facing discs of which the first disc is able to undergo only rotary movement whereas the second disc is able to rotate, translate axially, and incline its axis of rotation by the effect of the engagement between a rotating cylindrical cavity and a fixed spherical surface.

  • Patent number: 4357792
    Abstract: A deflector for twisting double twisting spindles with pneumatic threading of the filament and with prepositioning of the rotating part of the spindle during the threading phase. Substantially between the circumference described by the wall containing the outlet port of the filament of the rotating part and the peripheral rim of the rotating plate is arranged at least temporarily an angular deflector in cooperation with the neighborhood of the radial plane in which is disposed the outlet of the filament in the rotating part cooperating through its extension with the neighborhood of the tangent to the curved rim of the rotating plate.

  • 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.
