Abstract
A ring-spinning machine has a longitudinally extending row of spindles rotatable about parallel spaced axes on a frame, and a drive that has an endless flat belt tangentially engaging all of the spindles. A pair of deflector rollers between two of the spindles are rotatable about respective axes parallel to the respective spindle axes and spaced longitudinally apart along the belt. A drive wheel is rotatable about an axis parallel to and spaced transversely from the roller and spindle axes and the belt passes around one of the deflector rollers, around the drive wheel, and around the other of the deflector rollers. A motor rotates the drive wheel about the wheel axis.
Claims4
In combination with a ring-spinning machine having a longitudinally extending row of spindles spaced apart in a longitudinal direction of the machine and rotatable about parallel spaced axes on a frame, a drive comprising:
- an endless flat belt tangentially engaging all of the spindles;
- a pair of deflector rollers between two successive spindles of the row and rotatable about respective axes parallel to the respective spindle axes and spaced apart in said longitudinal direction along the belt;
- a drive wheel rotatable about a drive wheel axis parallel to and spaced transversely from the rollers, said drive wheel axis being further spaced from respective spindle axes transversely to said longitudinal direction, the belt at each drive wheel passing initially around a respective one of the deflector rollers, then around the drive wheel, and then around the other of the deflector rollers;
- and
- motor means for rotating the drive wheel about the wheel axis, said drive wheel, said deflector rollers and said spindles all being engaged by said belt in a single belt plane.
