Abstract
An apparatus at a spinning room machine, especially a spinning preparation machine, for example a carding machine or draw frame, for visual signal display, has at least two light sources in the form of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), each of which is associated with a cover, the signal display—which is in communication with a control device—being capable of emitting signals of light of different colours. In order to provide an apparatus which especially is of simple construction and allows a reduced outlay in terms of manufacture and installation, a plurality of LEDs, which are located inside a clear or opaque cover, are capable of emitting coloured or white light corresponding to the particular operating situation of the spinning room machine.
Claims17
A visual display device for a spinning room machine, comprising:
- a cover including a substantially upright sidewall;
- a circuit board oriented substantially horizontally with respect to the substantially upright sidewall;
- a plurality of light-emitting sources mounted only on a single side of the circuit board;
- a reflector located opposite the plurality of light-emitting sources, the reflector having a single uninterrupted reflecting surface that receives light from the plurality of light-emitting sources and deflects it through the substantially upright sidewall;
- and
- a control device for controlling the light-emitting sources for generating coloured light in dependence on the operative state of the spinning room machine.
An apparatus at a spinning preparation machine for visually displaying an operating condition of the spinning preparation machine, comprising:
- a cover including a substantially upright sidewall;
- a circuit board oriented substantially horizontally with respect to the substantially upright sidewall;
- a plurality of light-emitting diodes mounted only on a single side of the circuit board;
- a reflector located opposite the plurality of light-emitting diodes, the reflector having a single uninterrupted reflecting surface that receives light from the plurality of light-emitting diodes and deflects it through the substantially upright sidewall;
- and
- a control device for controlling the light-emitting diodes to emit coloured or white light corresponding to the particular operating condition of the spinning preparation machine.
