Abstract
A spool loading and centering device for loading and centering spools on support plates in order to send the said spools for winding. Each support plate has a rod and centering and restraining springs. The spool loading and centering device includes a spool presentation and centering device for presenting and centering of each spool onto each support plate and a spool fitting device for fitting the tube of each spool onto the top of the rod of each support plate. The spool fitting device travels a path which corresponds to fitting of the spool, as far as its base stop on the support plate.
Claims8
A spool loading and centering device for loading and centering spools on support plates in order for each spool of the spools to be sent to an automatic winding device for having yarn wound therearound, wherein each support plate of the support plates is provided with a rod and centering and restraining springs, said spool loading and centering device comprising:
- a spool presentation and centering device for presentation and centering of each spool of the spools onto each support plate of the support plates;
- a spool fitting device for fitting a tube each spool of the spools onto a top of the rod each support plate of said support plates, wherein said spool fitting device includes a slider having means for actuation of vertical travel with reciprocal motion and having a fitting end thrust element for following a useful path corresponding to fitting of the tube of each spool of said spools, until each spool of said spools is supported against a conical base stop of each support plate of said support plates.
A method for loading and centering spools on support plates, the support plates being provided with a rod and centering and restraining springs, and the spools to be sent for winding of yarn therearound to an automatic spooler, said method for loading and centering comprising the steps of:
- presenting and centering each spool of the spools onto a top of the rod of the support plate;
- releasing each spool of the spools presented, until each spool of the spools is supported on springs of each support plate of said support plates;
- and
- fitting each spool, of the spools, with a useful path which extends until each spool, of the spools, is supported against a base stop of each support plate of the support plates.
