Abstract
An oscillatable web guide roll and method of winding uses a cylindrical roll (A) with as recess at one end for receiving a cylindrical cam (C) upon a shaft which forms part of a mounting (B) for the cylindrical roll so that a cam follower (D) fixed to the cylindrical roll may be positively guided by the cam to produce oscillatory movement of the cylindrical roll (A) thus oscillating the web along its longitudinal axis during the building of the web roll.
Claims5
An oscillatable guide for use in motor driven apparatus winding a web into a web roll comprising:
- a cylindrical guide roll having a receptacle on at least one end;
- means mounting said cylindrical guide roll for rotation responsive to movement of said web passing thereover while guiding said web in engagement with a periphery thereof;
- a cylindrical cam member carried concentrically within said cylindrical guide roll on said at least one end thereof having a cam track in said cylindrical cam member;
- means driving cylindrical cam member for rotation independently of said cylindrical guide roll;
- and
- a cam follower carried on said cylindrical guide roll extending in said cam track producing longitudinal oscillatory movement of said cylindrical guide roll as a result of said rotation thereof responsive to movement of said web and said rotation of said cam member;
- whereby said web is oscillated by said cylindrical guide roll during build of the web roll as controlled by movement of the web and said means driving said cylindrical cam.
A method of winding cloth coming from a loom utilizing an oscillatable guide comprising the steps of:
- providing a cylindrical roll having a receptacle on at least one end;
- mounting the cylindrical roll for rotation responsive to movement of said web passing thereover while guiding said cloth in engagement with a periphery thereof;
- mounting a cam member in said receptacle fixed against longitudinal oscillatory movement;
- independently rotating said cam member;
- and
- fixedly positioning a cam follower upon said cylindrical roll engaging said cam member producing longitudinal oscillatory movement of said cylindrical roll;
- whereby the cloth is oscillated by the cylindrical roll during build of the cloth roll as controlled by movement of the web and rotation of said cam member.
