Patent number: 6425546Abstract: Although many conventional ribbon winding preventing methods have substantially solved a ribbon winding problem in terms of the appearance of a package, there is still a large difference between a ribbon winding layer and the other layers in, for example, unwinding performance for fast unwinding during a postprocess. In a configuration for using a traverse groove 11 formed in a traverse drum 6 to traverse and wind a yarn into a package 3, the traverse drum 6 has a plurality of continuous traverse grooves 11 for different winding values formed therein. This configuration also has means 24 for switching a yarn path to determine which of the plurality of continuous traverse grooves 11 for different winding values used to traverse the yarn. Means for detecting a diameter at which ribbon winding may occur is also provided to effect such control that the winding number for the traverse drum 6 is changed when a package diameter is close to the ribbon winding diameter.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2000Date of Patent: July 30, 2002Assignee: Murata Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenji Ohashi, Ichiro Hidaka, Norio Kubota

Patent number: 5470203Abstract: A blower blade assembly has a plurality of blades, at least one of which is provided with a counterbalancer. The counterbalancer is of one-piece construction and includes a first arm having two contact areas spaced apart from each other and adapted to contact the first surface of the fan blade when the counterbalancer is mounted on the fan blade, a second arm having one contact area adapted to contact the second surface of the fan blade when the counterbalancer is mounted on the fan blade, and an elastic connecting bridge connecting the first and second arms together.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1994Date of Patent: November 28, 1995Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masukazu Mori, Hiroyoshi Yamanaka, Norio Kubota, Naoki Shimokawa

Patent number: 5279729Abstract: A bobbin sorting device including a color sensor for distinguishing trays on which different kinds of bobbins are conveyed, characterized in that a metal plate is attached to each tray having one of different colors, and a detector is provided near the color sensor for detecting the metal plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1992Date of Patent: January 18, 1994Assignee: Murata Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shoichi Tone, Shinji Noshi, Norio Kubota, Noboru Sekitani, Osamu Nakayama
-
Patent number: 5118958Abstract: A bobbin discharge apparatus having a device for detecting a remaining yarn of a bobbin. A non-contact type sensor such as a photo sensor for detecting the presence or absence of the remaining yarn on a bobbin is arranged on a carrier passage of bobbins, and the bobbin and the sensor are provided relatively movably.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1990Date of Patent: June 2, 1992Assignee: Murata Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shinji Noshi, Norio Kubota, Hiroshi Uchida, Yasunobu Tanigawa

Patent number: 4512526Abstract: The present invention relates to a doffing control system in an automatic winder. When a signal for turning off a drum motor for stopping a traversing drum is put out to stop rotation of the drum due to a full-winding signal and then the yarn is wound up on a package by an inertia rotation of the drum, the detecting action of the slub catcher is maintained even after emission of the full-winding signal until the yarn speed is reduced to a level corresponding to the critical limit of sensing yarn breakage by the slub catcher.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1984Date of Patent: April 23, 1985Assignee: Murata Kikai Kabushiki KaisaInventors: Syoiti Tone, Norio Kubota
