Abstract: Apparatus for segregating a jumbled mass of bobbins and delivery of the bobbins one at a time in axial orientation. A chain conveyor includes a plurality of buckets for receiving bobbins. These buckets open inwardly and together form the bottom of a hopper which receives the jumbled bobbins. As the conveyor is driven, a bucket receives a bobbin from the hopper and carries the bobbin upwardly along a substantially straight path to a discharge chute at an upper portion of the apparatus. The buckets have a particular cross-sectional configuration so that when they are on the straight upwardly extending path they will retain only one bobbin having a rounded cross-section and within a particular range of diameters varying from an empty bobbin core to a full bobbin. If a second bobbin is picked up by a bucket it will drop from the bucket along the straight path and fall back into the hopper. By varying the inclination of the buckets along the straight portion of the path, the range may be varied. A bobbin in the hopper may tend to align itself with its axis parallel to the direction of movement of the buckets and would thus block the buckets from receiving bobbins having their axes transverse to the path of movement of the buckets. Such a parallel bobbin is flipped over so that it falls back onto the hopper with its axis transverse to the path of movement of the buckets. Bobbins are fed into the hopper responsive to a reduction in weight of the bobbins in the hopper and the hopper is driven intermittently to deliver bobbins one at a time responsive to an external demand.

Abstract translation: 用于分离一个混合的线轴块和一个轴向方向一次输送线轴的装置。 链式输送机包括用于接收线轴的多个桶。 这些铲斗向内敞开并一起形成容纳混乱的筒管的料斗的底部。 当输送机被驱动时，桶从料斗接收筒管，并将筒管沿着基本上直的路径向上运送到设备上部的排料槽。 铲斗具有特定的横截面构造，使得当它们在直的向上延伸的路径上时，它们将仅保持一个具有圆形横截面的线轴并且在从空筒管芯到完整筒管的特定直径范围内。 如果第二个线轴由一个铲斗拾起，它将沿着直线路径从铲斗下落并落回料斗。 通过沿着路径的直线部分改变铲斗的倾斜度，该范围可以变化。 料斗中的筒管可能倾向于与其平行于铲斗的运动方向的轴线对齐，并且因此阻挡铲斗以接收具有横向于铲斗的运动路线的线轴的线轴。 这样的平行线轴被翻转，使得其倒转到料斗上，其轴线横向于铲斗的移动路径。 由于料斗中线轴的重量减小，料筒被送入料斗，并且间歇地驱动料斗，以便根据外部需求一次一个地提供线轴。
