Abstract
Abstract A thread delivery device for a textile machine in which a member associated with a thread delivery arrangement is driven by a driving belt which in turn is driven by a driving wheel whose effective diameter can be varied to vary the speed of the driving belt. The driving belt is engaged with a running surface associated with the driving wheel. The driving belt is provided with holes therein, and the running surface of the driving wheel is formed by a second driving belt with pins on its outer face which engage in the holes of the first-mentioned driving belt to provide a slip-free connection therebetween. The second driving belt is engaged with and extends between the driving wheel and a further guide or idler wheel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
In a thread delivery device for a textile machine, in which a member associated with a thread delivery arrangement is driven by a driving belt which in turn is driven by a driving wheel whose effective diameter can be varied to vary the speed of said driving belt, said driving belt being engaged with a running surface associated with said driving wheel, comprising the improvement wherein said driving belt is provided with holes therein, and wherein the running surface of the driving wheel is formed by a second driving belt with pins on its outer face which engage in the holes of said first-mentioned driving belt to provide a slip-free connection therebetween, the second driving belt being engaged with and extending between said driving wheel and a further wheel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
In a thread delivery device for a textile machine, in which a member associated with a thread delivery arrangement is driven by a driving belt which in turn is driven by a driving wheel whose effective diameter can be varied to vary the speed of said driving belt, said driving belt being engaged with a running surface associated with said driving wheel, comprising the improvement wherein said driving belt is provided with holes therein, and wherein the running surface of the driving wheel is formed by a second driving belt with pins on its outer face which engage in the holes of said first-mentioned driving belt to provide a slip-free connection therebetween, the second driving belt being engaged with and extending between said driving wheel and a further wheel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A thread delivery device according to claim 1, wherein the driving wheel comprises two opposed cone-shaped members mounted on a common axle and having the second driving belt engaged therebetween, the distance between the cone-shaped members being variable to vary the effective diameter of the driving wheel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A thread delivery device according to claim 1, wherein said further wheel is an idler pulley of constant diameter whose bearing is biased in a direction away from the driving wheel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
A thread delivery device according to claim 1, wherein said further wheel is an idler pulley comprising two cone-shaped wheels which are mounted on a common axle and the distance between which can be increased in opposition to the force of a spring to reduce the effective diameter of the idler pulley.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A thread delivery device according to claim 2, wherein said further wheel is an idler pulley of constant diameter whose bearing is biased in a direction away from the driving wheel.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
A thread delivery device according to claim 2, wherein said further wheel is an idler pulley comprising two cone-shaped wheels which are mounted on a common axle and the distance between which can be increased in opposition to the force of a spring to reduce the effective diameter of the idler pulley.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
57 words
A thread delivery device according to claim 2, wherein one of the cone-shaped members is axially rigidly mounted on the axle while the other cone-shaped member can be secured at a predetermined distance from said one cone-shaped member with the aid of a threaded stub provided on the axle and an adjusting nut associated with the stub.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
A thread delivery device according to claim 2, wherein the second driving belt is designed such that substantially no slippage occurs between the belt and the driving wheel.
