Abstract
An impact element (12, 17), which is connected with a spring device (15), is tensioned through the feed movement of the package carrier rods (5) and, when a trigger position (23) is reached, will be released in such a way that a force impulse (I) is delivered in the direction of the nearest adjacent spindle (6), respectively a remnant package (2) or empty bobbin (3) mounted on said spindle. With that, the impact element transmits a force impulse, first of all onto a lossely mounted impact disc (19) which can be utilised with various bobbin formats and which protects the remnant packages.
Claims12
Device for ejecting remnant packages or empty bobbins from a creel (1), said device comprising
- a package carrier device (5) on which numerous spindles (6) are arranged in rows for the accommodation of packages, the package carrier device being able to travel from an operating position (8) for unwinding of the packages into a changing position (9) for reloading of the spindles,
- a plurality of striker elements, one for each row of spindles, arranged in the area of movement of the package carrier device (5), each said striker element comprising a spring for storing energy, cocking means for storing energy in the spring in response to movement of the package carrier device, trigger means for releasing the spring device so that the striker element imparts a force impulse (I) in the direction of and at a trigger position adjacent one of said spindles (6), to thereby eject a remnant package (2) or empty bobbin therefrom.
