Abstract
A cutting arrangement for a filament monitoring system for use in a draw-twister and the like comprises a gripping member, a cutting member and an intermediate filament guide, all of which are mounted on a spring actuated slide. Actuation of the slide causes the gripping member and cutting member to grip and cut the filament, the filament guide maintaining the filament in proper position.
Claims35
A cutting arrangement for filament monitoring systems comprising;
- a slide;
- means for moving said slide;
- a filament guide on said slide;
- gripping means responsive to movement of said slide for gripping said filament arranged on one side of said filament guide;
- and cutting means responsive to movement of said slide for cutting said filament arranged on another side of said filament guide.
A cutting arrangement for filament monitoring systems, for use in draw-twisting machines, texturing machines and the like, comprising a housing having an opening through which a filament travels, a slide member mounted for movement in a direction transverse to the travel direction of the filament, said slide member being provided with a cutting blade and a gripping member spaced from one another, said cutting blade and said gripping member being mounted for movement with said slide member against associated abutment portions, said gripping member being mounted for contacting its abutment portion earlier than the cutting blade contacts its abutment portion such that the filament traveling through the opening of said housing is first gripped by said gripping member and is then cut by said cutting member.
