Abstract
A device for loading and unloading a rotating basket in a centrifuge for spin drying bobbins of yarn wherein a hub is provided centrally of the basket and which guides an annular bearing plate which is vertically shiftable with respect to the basket so as to be selectively engageable with and supportive of a bobbin of yarn which is lowered into the basket, subjected to centrifugal action, and thereafter raised to a discharge position above the basket.
Claims6
An apparatus for loading and unloading bobbins of yarn into a centrifugal spin dryer having a rotatable basket in which the bobbins are selectively received and wherein the basket is positioned below an opening in a surface structure across which the bobbins of yarn are transported comprising, a vertically oriented hub means mounted within the basket and having upper and lower ends, at least one elongated guide means disposed along said hub means, a plate means mounted around said hub means and extending generally perpendicularly thereto, support means slideably movable relative to said elongated guide means of said hub means, said plate means being carried by said support means, and reciprocating means engaging said support means so as to raise said plate means into a first position in substantially horizontal alignment with the surface structure within the opening therein and to lower said plate means to a second position within the basket.
