Coiler assembly
Abstract
Abstract AN IMPROVED COILER ASSEMBLY FOR COILING SLIVER IN A STATIONARY CONTAINER INCLUDES A COILER HEAD WHICH IS SIMULTANEOUSLY ROTATED BY A FIRST DRIVE TRAIN ABOUT AN AXIS WHICH IS OFFSET FROM A CENTRAL AXIS OF THE CONTAINER AND BY A SECOND DRIVE TRAIN ABOUT THE CENTER AXIS OF THE CONTAINER. ROTATION OF THE COILER HEAD ABOUT THE FIRST AXIS RESULTS IN THE FORMATION OF A COIL OF SILVER IN THE CONTAINER WHILE ROTATION ABOUT THE CENTRAL AXIS OF THE CONTAINER DISPLACES LOOPS OF THE COIL OF SILVER RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER. AN ECCENTRIC IS PROVIDED FOR ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE COILER HEAD RELATIVE TO THE CENTRAL AXIS OF THE CONTAINER TO ENABLE SILVER OF DIFFERENT THICKNESSES TO BE COILED IN THE SAME RELATIONSHIP WITH A WALL OF THE CONTAINER. A TRANSMISSION MEANS FOR CONNECTING THE DRIVE TRAINS TO A SOURCE OF POWER INCLUDES A PLURALITY OF PAIRS OF GEARS SO THAT THE GEAR RATIO OF THE TRANSMISSION MEANS AND THE RATE AT WHICH THE COILER HEAD IS ROTATED AROUND THE CENTRAL AXIS OF THE CONTAINER CAN BE ADJUSTED TO VARY THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE LOOPS OF SILVER ARE DISPLACED RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER.
