Abstract
The invention comprises a frame having open bearings for removably receiving the spindle of a reel therein. Each of the bearings is mounted for vertical movements to control the operation of a brake for automatically regulating the braking force against the reel or spool as a function of the weight thereof. The construction is such that the reels or spools can be easily replaced without disassembling the apparatus.
Claims11
An apparatus for spindleless mounting, as well as for cutting and cutting to length and simultaneous measurement of lengths of strands wound on spools arranged in juxtaposed and/or superimposed manner in a supporting frame, wherein the spools can easily be replaced by others of different sizes having outer disks provided with short spindles and wherein the spool bearings of the supporting frame are open at the top for receiving said spindles, said bearings being mounted for movement only in a vertical plane,
- (a) the spool bearings being arranged on horizontal arms, which are in turn mounted on a common crossbar of the supporting frame,
- (b) the horizontal arms being displaceably mounted on the crossbar,
- (c) said crossbar having a many-sided cross-section surrounded by correspondingly many-sided rings, which are fixed to the arms,
- (d) the spool bearings having levers provided with brake shoes and below the bearings, each lever has a pivot bearing which is externally positioned with respect to the spindle bearing and in which is movably mounted a lever, as well as in each case an internally located bearing point on which rests the proportional weight of the spool or reel.
