A method and apparatus for synchronously piecing rovings applied to a ring spinning frame in combination with a system of transporting roving bobbins by a bobbin carriage between a roving room and a spinning room, wherein rovings supplied from corresponding bobbins of a bobbin carriage in a creel portion of the ring spinning frame are synchronously pieced with corresponding supplemental rovings taken from respective full packaged roving bobbins held by another bobbin carriage in the creel portion of the ring spinning frame.

Method and apparatus for synchronously piecing roving for a continuous

In a roving winding apparatus applied to a roving frame provided with a plurality of draft parts and corresponding bobbin wheels, a bobbin shaft for driving the bobbin wheel, a bobbin rail on which the bobbin shaft is rotatably horizontally mounted along the longitudinal direction thereof, a lifting motion mechanism for lifting the bobbin rail, and a main motor for driving the draft parts at a predetermined rotational speed, wherein the bobbin shaft is driven under a controlled condition created by a servomotor to follow a digital signal output from the rotation angle detecting device applied to the common bottom front roller of the draft parts, in an adjusted optimal condition under the control of a computer system, incorporated with the lifting motion of the bobbin rail.

Apparatus for winding a roving applied to a roving frame

A method and apparatus for carrying out a roving bobbin exchange operation when applied to a conventional ring spinning frame. The roving bobbin exchange operation is simultaneously carried out on a plurality of successive pairs of a front bobbin hanger and a back bobbin hanger of the creel portion of the spinning frame by intermittently displacing the operation unit along the spinning frame and by utilizing a plurality of pairs of a first sub-peg unit having a front peg and a back peg, and a second sub-peg unit having a front peg and a back peg unit, whereby a roving bobbin mounted on the front peg of the first sub-peg unit can be transferred to the back peg of the second sub-peg unit, and vice versa, during the exchange operation, and thus the unit roving bobbin exchange operation can be carried out in a very limited space defined by twice a pitch between two adjacent pairs of a front bobbin hanger and a back bobbin hanger facing the first bobbin hanger.

Method and apparatus for exchanging roving bobbins in a ring spinning

In a ring spinning frame provided with two parallel alignments of bobbin hangers, a plurality of roving guides is arranged in an alignment at an intermediate position between the two alignments of bobbin hangers, wherein a first group of roving guides is formed by roving guides alternately positioned in the roving guide arrangement and a second group of roving guides is formed by the remained roving guides thereof, an improved creel mechanism for relatively displacing the first group of roving guides and the second group of roving guides whereby a first intervening space between two adjacent roving guides and a second intervening space between two adjacent roving guides are alternately formed along the alignment of the roving guides, wherein the first intervening space ensures a free passage of a full packaged roving bobbin but the second intervening space does not permit a free passage of the full packaged roving bobbin, the above-mentioned formation of two intervening spaces being created alternately, at each intervening space between two adjacent roving guides, by the reciprocal motion of the displacing mechanism.

Creel mechanism for a ring spinning frame provided with displaceable

An apparatus for transporting roving bobbins (Y) along a transportation rail (5) arranged between a spinning process (3) and a roving process (1), comprising bobbin carriages (11), each having a plurality of bobbin hangers (13) for suspendingly holding roving bobbins (Y) and movably supported by the transportation rail (5); a driving device (18) for intermittently displacing the bobbin carriage (11); and a roving stripper (35) arranged midway of the transportation rail (5) for clearing off a residual roving on the roving bobbin (Y) during the transportation of the carriage (11). A miss bobbin treatment device (40) is provided midway of the transportation rail (5) between the roving stripper (35) and the roving process (1), for automatically removing a miss bobbin from which the residual roving is not completely cleared off by the roving stripper (35) from the bobbin hanger (13) and, instead, donning a normal empty bobbin (Y) onto the bobbin hanger (13), whereby the efficiency of the apparatus is greatly enhanced.

Apparatus for transporting roving bobbins

A method and apparatus for exchanging exhausted roving bobbins for full packaged roving bobbins applied to a conventional ring spinning frame provided with at least one roving supply rail arranged at a position in front of the spinning frame, at each side thereof, wherein a unit operation for exchanging exhausted roving bobbins suspended by front and back bobbin hangers, facing each other on a creel, for full packaged roving bobbins previously carried to the predetermined supply positions thereof on this supply rail, is carried out stepwisely from one side to the other side of the spinning frame along the creel, with regard to each pair of front and back bobbin hangers on the creel to which such a unit operation is to be applied, by utilizing only two pegs for temporarily supporting roving bobbins capable of changing the axial distance thereof between an axial distance (b) between the front and back bobbin hangers, facing each other on the creel, and an axial distance (a) between two adjacent bobbin hangers on the supply rail.

Roving bobbin exchanging method and apparatus for carrying out roving

A method and apparatus for piecing rovings introduced from almost exhausted roving bobbins suspended by two rows of bobbin hangers mounted on a creel of a conventional ring spinning frame provided with a roving bobbin supply rail disposed in front of the creel, with rovings introduced from full packaged roving bobbins previously carried to the respective supply positions of the supply rail, said for exchanging the almost exhausted roving bobbins for the full packaged roving bobbins. A piecing rovings operation is carried out for each pair of almost exhausted roving bobbins suspended by a front row bobbin hanger and a back row bobbin hanger of the creel, facing each other, together with two corresponding adjacent full packaged roving bobbins of the supply rail, respectively. A roving bobbin exchanging operation is carried out for each pair of almost exhausted roving bobbins having completed the roving piecing operation for corresponding full packaged roving bobbins of the supply rail having completed the roving piecing operation. The roving bobbin exchanging operation and the roving piecing operation are performed in parallel and at the same time.

Method for piecing rovings and exchange roving bobbins in a ring

This is a process and apparatus for the preparation of fasciated spun yarns, which includes feeding separate single fibers formed by opening and drafting a continuous staple fiber bundle into a rotor (20), collecting and holding the single fibers on a fiber-collecting portion of the rotor (20) and taking out the collected fibers through a center piece (26) by delivery rollers (33) while strongly false-twisting the collected fibers in the same direction as that of true twists given by the rotor (20) into a twisted yarn by a false-twisting apparatus arranged between the rotor (20) and the delivery rollers (33), wherein the separated single fibers are supplied to a travelling plane for the twisted yarn between the fiber-collecting portion of the rotor (20) and the center piece (26) to entangle some of the single fibers with the twisted yarn in the strongly false-twisted state, and the entangled single fibers are entwined around the periphery of the twisted yarn by subsequent release of the false twists of the twisted yarn.
