Roller assembly for expanding the width of a web

An apparatus for the mechanical needling of pile fabrics onto a winding frame comprising a pair of rotatable suspension frames located at opposite ends of an axle and including radially disposed rows of fabric engaging hooks movable parallel to the axle, actuating means for moving the individual hooks toward the opposite end of the axle in sequence beginning with the radially innermost hooks and progressing to the radially outermost hooks in synchronization with the rotation of the suspension frames, the actuating means including ejector means rotatable with the suspension frames and cam means selectively movable into the path of movement of the ejector means for selectively moving the individual hooks toward the opposite end of the axle.

Apparatus for the mechanical needling of pile fabrics

A take-up frame for pile fabric consisting of two suspension frames mounted on opposite ends of a cylindrical shaft, each frame comprising a plurality of angularly spaced arms projecting radially from a central hub. Each of the arms has a narrow slot formed in the side facing away from the other frame. The slot extends lengthwise of the arm and extends only part way through the thickness of the arm. A plurality of slot-like apertures extends through the remaining thickness of the arm from the bottom of the slot to the other side of the arm. The slot-like apertures are spaced apart equidistantly from one another along the length of the slot. Inserted into the slot is a hook band consisting of a plurality of hooks joined together and spaced apart from one another the same distance as the space between the slot-like apertures. Each of the hooks passes through its respective slot-like aperture and projects from the other side of the arm, where it is adapted to hook onto the edge of the pile fabric. The slot-like aperture provides back-up support for the hook on all sides, so that the hook is greatly strengthened. In one form of the invention, the hooks are joined to a continuous base strip that abuts against the bottom of the slot to limit the depth of insertion of the hook band. In another form, the hooks are detachably connected together by first and second fastener means. The first fastener means limits the depth of insertion of the hook band so that the hooks are retracted until broken free and pushed inwardly by impact. The second fastener means engages the bottom of the slot after the hook has been detached, to limit the depth of insertion of the hook.

Take-up frame for pile fabric

A take-up frame for pile fabric comprising two suspension frames disposed at the ends of a shaft in accordance with the width of fabric webs to be taken up and provided with hook bands which extend radially and into which the fabric webs are hooked, wherein the suspension frames are constructed of plastics material or the like and are provided with guideways in which hook bands of metal are disposed.
