A multi-spindle double twist twisting machine having a belt drive assembly, a spindle frame formed to enclose the belt drive assembly, and traversing rod reciprocating means. The machine may be a horizontal spindle machine with two rows of spindles on each side. A beam mounted independently of the spindle frame extends along each side between rows and supports a drive belt for tangential driving contact with spindle whorls. The belts are commonly driven and reversing rolls are associated with one belt so that it travels opposite the other belt, and compensating rolls are associated with the other belt so that the belts may be of the same length. The spindle frame has two spaced support plates laterally outward of the belt drive assemblies and two cover plates secured to and extending between flanges on the support plates to form an enclosure for the belt drive assembly. The traversing rod reciprocating means uses a pulley and drive belt take-off from the drive shaft of one traversing rod reciprocating cam to drive a second cam so that only one drive motor, replaceable gear assembly and modulating gear assembly are required.
In a multi-spindle double twist twisting machine of the type in which spindle assemblies are mounted with whorls aligned in at least one longitudinal row, a belt drive assembly for driving said whorls comprising a drive belt extending longitudinally adjacent said whorl row, belt supporting and guiding elements for guiding said belt in contact with said whorls, means for supporting said belt guiding elements, said support means being mounted in said machine independent of the mounting of said spindle assemblies, and means for driving said belt.
In a multi-spindle double twist twisting machine of the type in which spindle assemblies are mounted with whorls aligned in at least one longitudinal row, a spindle frame for supporting spindle assemblies and a belt drive assembly for driving said whorls, said spindle frame comprising at least one longitudinally extending support plate for mounting spindle assemblies thereon with whorl portions projecting in freestanding arrangement from one side of said plate, said support plate having side flanges projecting from the longitudinal edges thereof in the direction of projection of said whorl portions to provide sides to said spindle frame for attachment of enclosure plates thereto, said belt drive assembly comprising at least one drive belt extending longitudinally adjacent said whorl row and between said flanges, belt supporting and guiding elements for guiding said belt in contact with said whorls, means for supporting said belt guiding elements, and means for driving said belt.
In a multi-spindle double twist twisting machine of the type in which spindle assemblies are mounted in two vertically spaced longitudinally extending horizontal rows on each side of said machine, the spindle assemblies having their axes horizontal and whorls projecting laterally inward in two vertically spaced rows or whorls in each side of the machine, a belt drive assembly comprising two drive belts, one on each side of the machine extending adjacent both whorl rows on that side, means for supporting and guiding said drive belts in tangential driving contact with the whorls in both rows on each side of the machine, and means for driving said belts.
