Abstract
A stop motion for textile machines for transmitting a signal for stopping a working station in case of a thread breakage or a used-up supply bobbin. The stop motion includes a thread guide eyelet secured to a thread sensor bar which is pivotable about a horizontal pivot shaft, and is characterized by a guide element located between the pivot shaft and the thread guide eyelet. The guide element supports the thread sensor bar in its normal operating position against lateral vibrational movements exerted by the running thread.
Claims11
A stop motion mechanism for a textile machine for transmitting a signal to stop a work station in the event of thread breakage or exhaustion and comprising a thread sensor bar, a thread guide eyelet secured to one end of said thread sensor bar for receiving a running thread therethrough, means pivotally mounting said thread sensor bar for movement between a first position occupied when the thread is running normally through said thread guide eyelet and a second position occupied when the thread breaks or exhausts, means responsive to said thread sensor bar occupying said second position for transmitting the signal, and guide means positioned between said thread guide eyelet and said pivotal mounting means for said thread sensor bar for receiving said thread sensor bar when it occupies its first position and for supporting said thread sensor bar against lateral vibrational movements caused by the running thread.
