Abstract
Abstract Device for isolating textile coils delivered from a coil supply by a transporting device having entrainers mutually spaced thereon, adjacent pairs of the entrainers forming respective troughs for receiving a textile coil therein for transport by the transporting device, includes, at a location at which a textile coil is initially received in a respective trough opening, a pair of guide runners spaced from one another on opposite sides of the trough for supporting the tip and the foot, respectively, of a textile coil received in the trough through the opening thereof, the pair of guide runners having means for determining the position of the central longitudinal axis of the respective textile coil with respect to an outwardly extending edge of the entrainer of the respective trough by which the respective textile coil is entrainable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
259 words
A device for transporting fully and partly wound textile coils having varying diameters, each of said textile coils having a core having a tip and a foot on the longitudinal ends thereof free of wound textile material, comprising a conveyor means on which a plurality of entrainers each having a projecting edge portion are mounted on a conveyor belt to define a plurality of troughs for receiving textile coils and transporting the latter, a pair of guide runners spaced from one another a distance greater than the longitudinal length of said troughs, but less than the longitudinal distance between the tip and foot of a textile coil, said guide runners supporting the tip and foot of each textile coil, said guide runners extending to either side of said troughs such that the latter pass between said guide runners, said guide runners having abutment means disposed on the sides of said troughs for engaging said tip and foot of a textile coil to repeatedly position a textile coil in the same pick-up position regardless of whether the textile coil is fully or partly wound, said abutment means having an abutment surface displaced from the surfaces of said conveyor belt and said entrainers such that the pick-up position in which said textile coils are repeatedly placed is located at a fixed distance from said projecting edge of said entrainers, whereby said troughs on said conveyor means are operable to pick up successive textile coils delivered to said fixed pick-up position independently of the wound condition or diameter of said textile coils.

A device for transporting fully and partly wound textile coils having varying diameters, each of said textile coils having a core having a tip and a foot on the longitudinal ends thereof free of wound textile material, comprising a conveyor means on which a plurality of entrainers each having a projecting edge portion are mounted on a conveyor belt to define a plurality of troughs for receiving textile coils and transporting the latter, a pair of guide runners spaced from one another a distance greater than the longitudinal length of said troughs, but less than the longitudinal distance between the tip and foot of a textile coil, said guide runners supporting the tip and foot of each textile coil, said guide runners extending to either side of said troughs such that the latter pass between said guide runners, said guide runners having abutment means disposed on the sides of said troughs for engaging said tip and foot of a textile coil to repeatedly position a textile coil in the same pick-up position regardless of whether the textile coil is fully or partly wound, said abutment means having an abutment surface displaced from the surfaces of said conveyor belt and said entrainers such that the pick-up position in which said textile coils are repeatedly placed is located at a fixed distance from said projecting edge of said entrainers, whereby said troughs on said conveyor means are operable to pick up successive textile coils delivered to said fixed pick-up position independently of the wound condition or diameter of said textile coils.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said abutment surface extends generally perpendicularly to said support rails to define said pick-up position at a location spaced from said conveyor belt.
