摘要:
An improved creel for machines processing yarn consisting of creel components mounted verically above each other. Creel components are mounted off set above each other to guide yarn between creel component and horizontal creel extension to machine processing yarn. Creel component can rotate to guide one yarn to machine processing yarn or blocked to guide two yarns to machine processing yarn. Storage feeders can be mounted on creel. Improved guidance of yarn with less friction, improved connection of yarn from package to package and holding creel component in stationary position are improved features of this creel for machines processing yarn.

A pay-out stand for supply reels utilized in manufacturing cables particularly light waveguide cables having a basket-like structure mounted for rotation around a horizontal axis with carrier members extending parallel to the axis adjacent the periphery of the basket-like members. The supply reels are situated on the inside of each carrier part, preferably in pairs, and the carrier parts are spaced so that access of the supply reels can be had from the outside of the stand to enable splicing the lead from a backup reel to a waveguide of a feed reel which is feeding a lead out of the pay-out stand.
摘要:
A wire de-reeling apparatus for transferring wire from one or more spools and with a minimum of excessive looseness or kinking, the apparatus comprising a support for mounting the spool with one spool end free, a rotatable take-off wheel located at the free spool end and being generally coaxial with the spool, and a rotatable tension brush also disposed at the spool end and having a plurality of radially disposed, flexible wire-restraining tines. The wheel is rotatable under the action of a strand of wire being payed off the spool. The brush is mounted on a central hub which is at or near the spool axis, and the tines extend radially a short distance past the circumferential edge of the wheel, to be brushed by the strand of wire as it is being de-reeled. In addition, a power drive arrangement is linked to the hub, whereby the brush can be rotatably driven in the same direction as that traveled by the strand as it un-winds, thereby reducing the relative circumferential speed of the strand with respect to the periphery of the rotating brush, resulting in significantly reduced drag forces applied to the strand and lessening the likelihood of breakage under conditions of high take-off speed.Also a de-reeling apparatus for accommodating two separate spools, the spools being adapted to hold a single, continuous strand of wire. The apparatus enables a high-speed take-off to be obtained, with automatic means which permit take-off to commence from the second spool as soon as the first spool is emptied.
摘要:
A plurality of coils of flat strip material are connected with one another for continuous, uninterrupted uncoiling or feed of the material from the plurality of coils during a manufacturing process or the like. The coils are free of abrupt distortions and folds and the like at the interconnection portion of the material between adjacent coils, and the individual coils of the plurality of coils need not have binding straps and the like thereon.
