Title: The Innovations of Manfred Kress
Introduction
Manfred Kress is a notable inventor based in Grafenrheinfeld, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of textile machinery, holding a total of three patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and functionality of textile spindles and rotors.
Latest Patents
One of Kress's latest patents is for support means for textile spindles and rotors having anti-friction. This invention involves a rotatable member, such as a spindle or rotor, supported in a housing by elastic members like rubber O-rings. These O-rings are designed to provide progressive dampening, with the elastic member supporting the bearing under the greatest load having a dampening effect at least twice that of the others. The increased dampening can be achieved through greater mass or softer material.
Another significant patent by Kress is a false twisting device. This device features an open-end spinning mechanism with two mutually parallel pairs of rollers that drive a spinning rotor or twisting tube. A horseshoe-shaped magnet is associated with the device to retain the twisting tube or rotor in a wedge-shaped nip between the roller pairs. Each pole of the magnet interacts with a collar on the rotor or twisting tube, ensuring that even when the rotor is displaced, the collars remain aligned with the magnet.
