摘要:
A composition for coating rings or travelers employed in yarn spinning applications is provided. The particular composition comprises an iron replacement composition such as copper selenide. The coating may be applied to rings and travelers in thicknesses of from about 0.001 mils to about 0.05 mils. The coating provides a low friction but high wear resistant surface between the traveler and a ring.
摘要:
The ring component has an annular groove extending generally radially therethrough. The traveler component includes main body and anchor portions, adapted during use of the assembly to be respectively disposed radially inwardly and radially outwardly from the ring groove, and a flange-like medial portion adapted to extend through the ring groove. In preferred embodiments thereof, the traveler is unitarily formed from wear-resistant plastic material and its anchor portion is retractable and extendable so as to be readily insertable through the ring groove but, following such insertion, to resist withdrawal through the groove. Cooperating bearing surfaces upon the ring and traveler provide large areas of engagement therebetween during normal operation of the assembly, and prevent the traveler from assuming an excessively tilted or otherwise undesirable orientation during its movement about the ring.
