Process and device for alternately giving a yarn an 'S' twist or a 'Z'

A bobbin holder for a textile spindle. A spindle having an upper part with opposite double flat surfaces and with a bottom surface. An upper adapter for placement around the upper part of the spindle, the adapter having a recess in it adapted to the shape of the upper part of the spindle, such that at one rotation orientation, the upper part of the spindle core is aligned with and is in the adapter recess and at other rotation orientations, the upper part of the spindle is out of the adapter recess. There is an upper adapter with a conically tapered bobbin receiver and an opposed lower adapter also with a conically tapered bobbin receiver which are both conically tapered to be received in the opening in the bobbin. A spring in one of the top and the bottom adapters biases the respective conical receiver toward the other conical receiver for securing the bobbin between the two conical receivers.

Bobbin holder for a high speed textile spindle

A textile spindle for treating textile or the like, the spindle including a shaft driven by an individual motor. The rotor of the motor is on the shaft. A double row bearing includes an inner ring on the shaft. An outer ring of the bearing is supported in the spindle housing by two axially spaced apart rubber/metal elements. Two additional elastic damping elements attach the spindle housing to a spindle bearing plate. The motor stator is supported in a motor housing attached stationary with the spindle housing.

Damped rotor spindle

A false twist texturing unit for filaments comprising a motor block arranged in a stationary manner on the machine, stator defined in the motor block, a shaft of the texturing unit including a rotor thereon with the rotor located in the stator and supported and rotatable therin. Various filament monitoring devices, data transmission elements and a filament cutting device, or the like elements, are supported in a stationary manner in the motor block and are thereby protected from distrubances, like those experienced during a repair.

Motor mount for false twist texturing unit

A mount for spinning spindles which discloses various embodiments of wedge type clamping devices for clamping a sleeve, which is disposed around the spindle housing, securely to a spindle bearing plate. The sleeve surrounds the spindle housing with vibration damping elements between them. The wedge clamping devices are driven by a threaded nut which is tightened up around the sleeve and this clamps the sleeve to the plate. A device for separating the drive belt from the drive whorl of the spindle is attachable on the sleeve and presses the belt off the drive whorl, freeing the spindle so that it may then be unclamped for removal from the spindle bearing plate.

Mount for a textile spindle

A series of spindles is supported on a rail. A spindle brake is provided acting on a selected one of a pair of spindles which are driven to rotate by a belt. The spindle brake is supported on a holder. The holder is pivoted to the rail. A pair of levers pivotally attached to the holder are respectively pulled for pivoting the holder in one and the opposite directions. A brake element is supported to the holder. The brake element includes a brake surface. Pivoting of the holder pivots the brake element to bring the brake surface into braking engagement with the respective spindle. A belt lift-off roller is pivotally supported to the holder on an axis spaced from the holder axis and is so shaped and placed that pivoting of the holder to brake a particular spindle moves the belt lift-off roller to lift the belt off that particular spindle.

Stationary spindle brake for spinning and twisting spindles

A false-twist apparatus has three parallel shafts carrying interleaved sets of friction disks interconnected by drive belts for joint rotation; one of these shafts is journaled in a stationary mounting plate while the others are journaled in a carrier pivotally connected with that plate for swinging about a fulcrum offset from the three shaft axes whereby two of the disk sets can be separated to facilitate the introduction of a yarn into the intervening twisting region. A whorl on the carrier-supported shaft nearest the fulcrum is normally driven by frictional contact with a continuously moving tangential belt but is disengaged from that belt in the swung-out position of the carrier so that the disks are arrested during introduction of the yarn.

False-twist apparatus

A spindle brake for a spinning or twisting machine has a pair of arms whose jaws are engageable with the whorl of a spinning or twisting spindle. One of these arms carries a belt-lifting roller adapted to lift the belt away from the whorl when the brake is actuated thereby preventing friction between the belt and the immobilized whorl.

Spindle brake

A false twist device has a pair of fixedly positioned spindles whose whorls are driven by a tangential belt and whose friction discs overlap wtih each other and with the friction discs of a swingable spindle mounted on an arm which can be angularly displaced about a pivot axis parallel to the spindle axis but spaced outwardly from the triangle defined by the axes of the spindles.

A false-twist apparatus has a support defining three generally parallel and radially spaced axes surrounding a central axially extending twisting region. Respective shafts are journaled in this support for rotation about the axes and carry respective staggered sets of axially spaced disks whose rims radially overlap at the twisting region. Yarn eyes above and below the sets of disks are axially aligned with this twisting region so that a yarn to be false-twisted can pass axially through the lower eye, then zigzag along the regions in contact with the disks, and then pass axially out through the other eye. All of the disks are permanently joined and synchronously rotated. A holder displaceable in a straight line on the apparatus support carries a plurality of arms having yarn-pushing tips that can push a yarn to be false-twisted radially into the region. The straight-line motion of the loading arms as well as their axial positions holds the yarn being loaded in out of contact with the outwardly traveling rims of one of the sets of disks while pressing it against the inwardly traveling rims of the adjacent set of disks.
