Abstract

This invention relates to an apparatus for conveying cops and bobbins for directly connecting a ring frame with a winder wherein one operation to feed those cops which are doffed onto the transport-bands on both the right and left sides of the ring frame to the subsequent process from one end of each of the transport-bands and the other operation to receive bobbins needed for the next doffing onto the transport-band are together simultaneously performed, with these two simultaneous operations being repeated. This invention has no provision of a random stock zone and the substantial function of bobbin stock is given to the transport-band, and the bobbin returned from the winder is adjusted in alignment thereof by the bobbin aligning device and conveyed by the bobbin stock conveyor and dropped onto the transport-band.

Claims7

Dependent claims

An apparatus for conveying cops and bobbins for direct connection of a ring frame and a winder comprising:

one line of transport-bands running around in a longitudinal path in front of the ring frame along the spindles of said ring frame;
pegs around the entire outer surface of said transport-band for mounting cops doffed from the ring frame and bobbins to be fed to the ring frame at pitches equal to a half of the spindle pitch;
cop releasing means at one end of an extension in the longitudinal direction of said ring frame and of said transport-band;
bobbin feeding means for feeding bobbins to said transport-band at the other end, opposite to that of said cop releasing means, of said transport-band;
a bobbin guide of said bobbin feeding means located just before said transport-band and being positioned so that a distance equal to (N+1/2).times.L, (N:
zero (0) or positive integer, L:
spindle pitch), lies between the center of said guide and that of said spindle;
and
means for moving said transport-band in one direction intermittently for enabling simultaneous performance of both cop feeding to a subsequent process and bobbin receiving by the transport-band.

An apparatus for conveying cops and bobbins for direct connection of a ring frame and a winder comprising:

two lines of transport-bands consisting of one exclusively used for mounting cops and the other for bobbins, running around in a longitudinal path in front of the ring frame along the spindles of said ring frame;
pegs around the entire outer surface of one of said lines of said transport-bands for mounting cops doffed from the ring frame at pitches equal to the spindle pitch, and pegs around the entire outer surface of the other of said lines of said transport-bands for mounting bobbins to be fed to the ring frame at the same pitches as the aforesaid spindle pitch;
cop releasing means at one end of an extension in the longitudinal direction of the ring frame and of said one line of said transport-band exclusively used for cop conveying;
bobbin feeding means for feeding bobbins to said other line of said transport-bands exclusively used for bobbin conveying at the other end, opposite to that of said cop releasing means;
a bobbin guide of said bobbin feeding means located just before said transport-band and being positioned so that a distance equal to N.times.L, (N:
positive integer, L:
spindle pitch), lies between the center of said guide and that of said spindle;
and
means for moving said transport-bands in one direction intermittently for enabling simultaneous performance of both cop feeding to a subsequent process and bobbin receiving by said transport-band.
