Cabling spindle

Abstract

A cabling spindle 2 comprising a spindle pot 5 and an upper part which is constituted as a conical cabling hood 1, wherein a yarn brake 7 is arranged in the cabling hood 1. According to the invention, the cabling hood 1 merges in its upper region from the conical shape into a convex shape.

Claims

1. Cabling spindle, comprising a spindle pot and an upper part which is constituted as a conical cabling hood having a top surface, wherein a yarn brake is arranged in the cabling hood, characterized in that, the cabling hood merges in its upper region from the conical shape into a: convex shape, and wherein the cabling hood has a yarn-guide eye that passes through the top surface of the cabling hood.

2. Cabling spindle according to claim 1, characterized in that the cabling hood is constituted in its upper region as a spherical calotte.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) In the following, the invention is explained in greater detail on the basis of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

(2) FIG. 1 is a schematically illustrated workstation of a cabling machine with cabling hood according to the invention; and

(3) FIG. 2 is an enlarged illustration of the cabling hood according to the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(4) FIG. 1 shows schematically a workstation of a cabling machine with cabling hood 1 according to the invention.

(5) The cabling spindle 2 is mounted on a spindle rail 3. A first feed bobbin 4 is disposed in the spindle pot 5 of the cabling spindle 2. The pot yarn 6 is taken up overhead from the first feed bobbin 4 and guided through a yarn brake 7 arranged in the cabling hood 1. After the yarn brake 7, the pot yarn 6 leaves the cabling hood 1 through a yarn-guide eye 8 and finally passes through a downstream balloon yarn-guide eye 9. The balloon yarn-guide eye 9 is attached by means of a holder 10 to the machine frame, which is merely suggested.

(6) A second feed bobbin 11 is conventionally mounted on a plug-on device arranged on the machine frame, and illustrated only schematically here alongside the cabling spindle 2. The creel yarn 12 taken up from the second feed bobbin 11 passes through the hollow spindle axis 13 from below, is deflected in the radial direction and emerges radially on the yarn-storage disk 14. The rotatory drive of the yarn-storage disk 14 is implemented via a spindle whorl 15 from a drive belt 16.

(7) Emerging from the yarn-storage disk 14, the creel yarn 12 is guided upwards on the outside of the spindle pot 5 to the balloon yarn-guide eye 9. Here, the creel yarn 12 is looped around the pot yarn 6 and the twine 18 manufactured in this manner is further wound onto the winding-on bobbin.

(8) FIG. 2 shows the cabling hood 1 according to the invention. The lateral surface 19 of the cone merges into a convex shape of the top surface 20. Through an embodiment of this kind, including the rounded transition, the geometric shape of the cabling hood 1 is approximated to the shape of the resulting yarn balloon. As a result, the balloon yarn-guide eye 9 can be arranged close to the cabling hood 1, the resulting yarn balloon is smaller, so that ultimately energy is saved.

(9) It will therefore be readily understood by those persons skilled in the art that the present invention is susceptible of a broad utility and application. Many embodiments and adaptations of the present invention other than those herein described, as well as many variations, modifications and equivalent arrangements will be apparent from or reasonably suggested by the present invention and the foregoing description thereof, without departing from the substance or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, while the present invention has been described herein in detail in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that this disclosure is only illustrative and exemplary of the present invention and is made merely for purposes of providing a full and enabling disclosure of the invention. The foregoing disclosure is not intended or to be construed to limit the present invention or otherwise to exclude any such other embodiment, adaptations, variations, modifications and equivalent arrangements, the present invention being limited only by the claims appended hereto and the equivalents thereof.
