Estimating the term…
A multi-spindle double twist twisting machine having a spindle frame in the form of a support plate that serves as a self-supporting sub-frame mountable alternatively in either a vertical or horizontal spindle machine and on which a plurality of spindle assembly mounting means are supported in two staggered rows. The support plate has side flanges to facilitate forming an enclosure around spindle assembly whorls and a belt drive assembly. A separator wall is mounted on the support plate between the rows of spindle assemblies and has ballooning yarn guides mounted thereon and extending over the spindle assemblies. The wall is extendable to adjust for yarn package sizes and operating conditions. The support plate may be formed in two portions with adjacent flanges for attaching the portions together and the wall may have an attaching flange for positioning between the adjacent flanges of the support plate portions to form an integral independent sub-frame. The spindle assembly mounting means is disposed on the support plate to provide a space at the end of each row, preferably at one end of the support plate beyond one row and at the opposite end of the support plate beyond the other row. Receivers for storage of spindle assembly heads are mounted in these spaces. The spindle assemblies are formed with discs having segments provided thereon for mounting of magnet means or weights to resist rotation of the yarn package from which yarn is withdrawn into the twisting operation.
A spindle frame for supporting a plurality of spindle assemblies in multi-spindle double twist twisting machines of the type having vertical frame stands at the ends of sections of the machine, said spindle frame comprising a support plate formed for mounting spindle assemblies thereon, a plurality of spindle assembly mounting means on said plate for mounting spindle assemblies thereon with whorl portions of said spindle assemblies projecting in freestanding arrangement from one side of said plate and yarn supporting portions of said spindle assemblies projecting in freestanding arrangement from the other side of said plate, said support plate having longitudinal ends for mounting of said plate in the vertical frame stands at the ends of a machine section without intermediate support as a self-supporting subframe mountable alternatively in either a machine of the type in which the spindle assemblies are disposed with the axes vertical or a machine of the type in which the spindle assemblies are disposed with their axes horizontal.
A spindle frame for supporting a plurality of spindle assemblies in multi-spindle double twist twisting machines of the type having vertical frame stands at the ends of sections of the machine and a belt drive assembly for rotating said spindle assemblies, said spindle frame comprising a support plate formed for mounting spindle assemblies thereon, at least one row of spindle assembly mounting means on said plate for mounting spindle assemblies thereon with whorl portions of said spindle assemblies projecting in freestanding arrangement from one side of said plate and yarn supporting portions of said spindle assemblies projecting in freestanding arrangement from the other side of said plate, said support plate having longitudinal ends for mounting of said plate in the vertical frame stands at the ends of a machine section as a self-supporting sub-frame mountable alternatively in either a machine of the type in which the spindle assemblies are disposed with their axes vertical or a machine of the type in which the spindle assemblies are disposed with their axes horizontal, said belt drive assembly including a longitudinally extending beam secured at its ends to said vertical frame stands and disposed adjacent the side of said support plate from which said whorl portions project, said beam being aligned with said row of spindle assembly mounting means and being mounted to said machine frame independent of the mounting of said support plate, drive belt guiding elements supported on said beam adjacent said projecting whorl portions, a drive belt guided and supported on said elements in driving engagement with said whorl portions, and means for driving said belt.
A spindle frame for supporting a plurality of spindle assemblies in multi-spindle double twist twisting machines, said spindle frame having means for mounting spindle assemblies in two longitudinally extending rows with yarn supporting portions of said spindle assemblies projecting from one side of said spindle frame, and a separator wall projecting between said rows of spindle assemblies for separation thereof, said separator wall being extendable in the direction of projection of the yarn supporting portions of said spindle assemblies.
A spindle frame for supporting a plurality of spindle assemblies with their axes vertical in multi-spindle double twist twisting machines, said spindle frame comprising a support plate formed for mounting spindle assemblies thereon, means on said support plate for mounting spindle assemblies in two rows extending on opposite sides of the center line of the machine, said spindle assembly mounting means being equally spaced in both rows and the spindle mounting means in one row being staggered longitudinally with respect to the spindle assembly mounting means in the other row at a spacing of approximately one half the spacing between the centers of spindle assemblies.
