Bobbin carrier pallet - has slitted sleeve round the holding spindle as clamp to hold cop sleeve in place

摘要

The pallet to carry a bobbin vertically between yarn processing stations has a holding spindle on a base plate, with an elastic clamp (11) round the spindle as a slitted (12) sleeve to apply clamping force against the interior of the bobbin across the vertical axis of the holding spindle. The clamp (11) is located at a section (5) of the spindle where the dia. is reduced over a length which is at least the longitudinal expansion of the clamp, and between two spindle sections (5,7) which act as a shoulder (4) to carry the bobbin, with a dia. slightly smaller than the inner dia. of the bobbin sleeve to give a trouble-free bobbin insertion and automatic centering. The vertical position of the clamp is secured (10,14(. The clamp has an inner angled edge (13) to prevent rotation, which locks into a longitudinal groove (9) in the spindle. ADVANTAGE - The pallet and spindle design simplifies the fitting of the cop with its sleeve for movement between processing stages, while ensuring that it is firmly held and stays upright during movement.
