Abstract
Machine for continuous twisting and cabling of filaments of the type including a predetermined number of work positions disposed on a common support frame (4), each work position including, taken in order according to the process of transformation of the filaments: a feeding and twisting section (1) for each of the elementary filaments, on each side of the machine; means (2) for the return and joining of a predetermined number of elementary filaments thus twisted and; a cabling and winding section (3); characterized in that the cabling and winding section (3) is common to the two feeding and twisting sections (1) and is constituted by spindles disposed side by side in the vertical plane of symmetry (AA) passing between the two feeding and twisting sections (1).
Claims4
A machine for twisting and cabling a plurality of elementary filaments, comprising:
- an elongate support frame having a lengthwise vertical plane of symmetry;
- a feeding and twisting section comprising a row of feeding and twisting spindles provided on said support frame and symmetrically arranged on each side of said vertical plane of symmetry, such that a feeding and twisting spindle is provided for each of said plurality of elementary filaments;
- a cabling and winding section common to each row of said feeding and twisting spindles, said cabling and winding section comprising a row of cabling and winding spindles provided on said support frame and arranged along said vertical plane of symmetry, each of said cabling and winding spindles being arranged in a plane which is substantially perpendicular to said vertical plane of symmetry and which is located substantially between adjacent feeding and twisting spindles;
- and
- means for feeding, returning, and joining said plurality of elementary filaments from said feeding and twisting section to said cabling and winding section.
