Definitions

  • This invention relates to a twisting machine in which the individual wires or strands, provided with a back twist, are gulded along a flyer, which carries the twisting frame locked in position of rest.
  • the novelty consists in that two twists in like direction are imparted in the wire bundle at one revolution and on one side of the flyer, which twists are again unwbund m by a laying plate drlven 1n the opposite direction, the rope being laid at the same time on the farther side of the laying plate on the pressing cheek. Consequently the laid rope is poor in tension in itself.
  • Fig. 1 is a front elevation.
  • Fig. 2 shows a detailin longitudinal section.
  • Fig. 3 is a cross section on line TIL-III of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 4 shows in longitudinal section the laying and winding mechanisms for the rope.
  • a flyer 3 driven by a pulley 1 rotates in brackets 1 and 2.
  • Transverse arms 5, 6 of this flyer carry a twisting frame 7.
  • This frame is loosely suspended and locked in stable equilibrated position in known manner.
  • a laying plate 9 mounted on the hollow shaft 8 and the pressing cheek 10 and the coupled winding device 11 are arranged in known manner in the frame 7.
  • the winding device is provided with an adjustable drawing ofi pulley 11a and winding drum 11b for uniformly advancing the rope material.
  • the stub journal 12 of the fiyer 3 journaled in the bracket 1 accommodates a second, likethe flyer
  • a toothed wheel 14 mounted on the stub journal 12 engages with a toothed wheel 15 and drives a shaft 16 which actuates the individual back twisting bodyfor the individual wires.
  • A- toothed wheel 17 is rigidly fixed on the br cket 1
  • a toothed wheel 18 is keyed on ilie hollow shaft 13 (Fig. 2).
  • a toothed wheel 19 is rigidly fixed on the bracket 2.
  • An axial guide. shaft 21 with separating plates 20 is shiftably journalled in the transverse arms 5,6 f the flyer 3.
  • the separating plates are provided with guide apertures for the individual wires arranged concentrically to the axis and grouped around the shaft 21 (Fig. 3).
  • the hollow shaft 8 extends through a stub journal 22 of the twisting frame 7 journal'ed in the transverse arm 6.
  • the laying plate 9 is mounted on the inner portion of this shaft and a toothed wheel 24 on its outer end.
  • the bundle of wires is fed through the shaft 8 to the laying plate 9 provided with guide apertures for the individual wires, whence it reaches the press cheek 10, passes over the drawing ofi disc 11a and iswound on the drum 11?).
  • Guide pulleys 25, 26 are mounted on the flyer 3 for the bundle of wires.
  • the rope material is guided from the guide'shaft 21 converging" over the pulley 25 to the pulley 26 and thence
  • a shaft 27 carrying toothed wheels 28 and 29 is journalled between the transverse arm 6 and the flyer 3.
  • the toothed wheel 29 mesh-" es with the like size stationary wheel 19, rotating around same during the rotation of and the wheel 28 transmits the rotary movement of the shaft 27 to the like sized wheel 24, by means ofan intermediate wheel 30.
  • the shaft 27 performs two revolutions during one revolution of the flyer 3, with the result that the laying plate 9 rotates twice in the same direction as the flyer 3.
  • a shaft 31 carrying toothed wheels 32 and 33 is journalled between the transverse arm 5 and the flyer 3.
  • the wheel 32 meshes with 1 wheel 17 and rotates around the stationary with two left twists,
  • the wheels 17, 32, 33 and 34 are of uniform size so that during one revolution of the fiyer the guide shaft 21 performs one revolution in the opposite direction of rotation. The result is that, when the machine is running, the guide shaft 21 does not change its position relatively to the stationary brackets 1, 2, that is the uppermost wire guide in the plate 20 permanently preserves its position relatively to the foundation of the machine.
  • the rope material'fed through the hollow shaft 13 to the shaft 21 is consequently not itself twisted during the rotation of the fiyer 3. Owing to the backward turning of the shaft 21 the first twist occurs in the bundle of wires at the pulley 25 and the second at the pulley 26.
  • the twisting of the wire bundle occurring on this pulley is effected in the same direction as that occurring on the pulley 25.
  • the fiyer 3 rotates in clockwise direction, seen from the bracket 2
  • the bundle of wires is twisted together whereas if the fiyer ro tates in the opposite direction the bundle is twisted together with two right twists.
  • the laying plate 9 rotates twice as quickly and in the same direction' as the fiyer, the two twists imparted to the wire bundle in front of the plate are at first untwisted when at the same time the rope is laid on the press cheek 10 at the rear of the laying plate.
  • the two twists in the wire bundle transmitted up to its branch point 53 are therefore continuously neutralized during the laying of the rope, so that the laid rope is itself free from stresses.
  • each wire is conducted over a bow shaped auxiliary fiyer 52 rotating around the wire. Only a. single auxiliary fiyer is illustrated in the drawing.
  • the auxiliaryflyers 52 arranged side by side or one behind the others are connected by means of a train of gears 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 to thefdriving shaft 16 journalled in the brackets 1 and 40.
  • a frame 42 rests in a state of stable equilibrium in the hollow stub journal 41 of the fiyer 52 rotating in the bracket 40, the drawing ofl' reel 43 of the individual wire rotating in said frame 42.
  • each individual wire is guided from the centre of the bow over a guide pulley 44, then along the bow over the pulleys 45, 46 and 47, through the hollow shaft 12 into the machine.
  • the pulleys 44, 45, 46 and 47 are arranged on the inner side of the flyerj52.
  • the ratio of transmission of the driving wheels of the individwheel 48 ual flyers 52 is such that each fly'er carries out one revolution during one revolution of the main fiyer 3.
  • each individual wire receives one back twist by each of the pulleys 44 and 47.
  • a toothed wheel 48 is keyed on the shaft 31 and meshes with and rotates around the like sized wheel '18 on the hollow shaft 13 (Fig. 2), so that the shaft 13 does not rotate during the revolution of the fiyer 3.
  • The is of the same size as the wheels 17, 32, 33 and 34.
  • a driving wheel 49 meshing with the toothed wheel 33 of the shaft 31, is keyed on the stub journal 23 of the roping frame 7 mounted in the transverse arm 5.
  • the wheel 33 revolves around the like sized wheel 49, whereby the roping frame 7 is locked in position of rest.
  • a toothed wheel 50 is mounted stationary between the roping frame 7 and the transverse arm 5 on this latter.
  • This toothed wheel 50 meshes with the wheel 51 I keyed on the driving shaft of the winding device 11 and, through the intermediary of the toothed gearing and driving shafts 'coupled therewith, drives the drawing ofi' disc 11a and from this disc the winding drum 11b for the laid rope in known manner.
  • Each individual wire of the rope to be laid is unwoundfrom its reel 43 and guided along a flyer 52.
  • the wires run together to form a bundle in front of the hollow shaft 13.
  • the wire bundle is guided through the hollow slzaft 13 and passes in separate arrangement al ng the shaft 21.
  • the wire bundle is guided-in further'converging over the pulleys 25, 26 behind the roller 26 in the opposite direction to that to the feed direction into the machine through the hollow shaft 8 to the laying plate 9 provided with concentric bores each for one wire and finally to the pressing cheek 10 on which the rope is laid.
  • the laid rope is wound over the drawing off pulley 11a on the winding drum 116.
  • Each fiyer 52 rotates at the same speed and in the same direction as the fiyer 3, whereasthe laying plate 9 also rotates in this direction but twice as quickly as the fiyer 3.
  • wlre rope is a wire bundle clamped on one side by the press cheek 10,
  • the laying plate 9 is provided with bores arrangedconcentrically to the axis of rotation.
  • a single wire extends through each of these uniformly distributed bores so that the wires represent a pyramid-shaped frame work between the rotating laying plate 9 and the press cheek 10 which is in position of rest, the apex of this frame work being the laying point on the press cheek 10.
  • each wire running off a reel 43 receives two corresponding backward twists on the pulleys 44 and 47 of its fiyer 52.
  • the object of the invention is to remove these bending stresses in the wire bundle and to continually neutralize same with each revolution of the machine during the laying of the rope.
  • the two backward twists imparted to the wire bundle at the pulleys 25 and 26 produce two extended winds which are scarcely perceptible as the wires appear to lie parallel side by side right up-to their branch point 53.
  • dividual wires are provided with a back twist, comprising 'in combination a fiyer adapted to impart two like directed twists to the wire bundle on one side of said fiyer, a laying plate rotatable in opposite direction to said fiyer adapted to untwist and neutralize the twists imparted by said fiyer and the back twists in the wires,'and to simultaneously lay the rope, and a press cheek on the far side of the laying plate adapt to cooperate with said laying plate to press together the wires of the rope laid by said laying plate.
  • a rope making machine comprising in combination a main flyer, auxiliary flyers connected to said main fiyer adapted to impart two back twists to the individual wires, a hollow shaft of said main fiyer adapted to guide the wires arranged side by side coming from said auxiliary flyers, a shaft journaled in said main fiyer, separating plates adapted to separate the wires coming from said hollow shaft and to guide the separated wires parallel to said shaft journalled on said main fiyer, a roping frame on the opposite end of said main fiyer to that of said hollow shaft, and pulleys on said main fiyer adapted to, guide the separated ropes coming from said separating plates to said roping frame in the opposite direction to the pulling in direction of the wire into said hollow shaft.
