Twin spindle drive - has motor with friction drive wheel to bear against one selected spindle or both

摘要

The drive system for two neighbouring spindles, in a spinning machine, has a motor connected to a friction wheel for a common radial movement. The motor and the friction wheel have a common shaft. The motor is an external motor carrying the friction wheel, fitted to a swing lever pivoted to swing against the spindles through flexible force applied by a second swing lever running parallel to both spindles. The first swing lever runs generally at right angles to the second swing lever, against the zone between the two spindles. ADVANTAGE - The friction drive wheel can be applied to one of the two spindles, selectively, or to both spindles.
