Abstract
Abstract A friction disc for rotating a twisting tube of a false twisting device for crimping thread is provided with a peripheral surface which slings any oil on the surface therefrom. The peripheral surface of the disc has an annular groove therein which is substantially frusto-conically shaped in cross-section and intersects the surface at an angle to provide an edge from which the oil will be slung by centrifugal force as the disc rotates.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A friction disc for a false twisting device for crimping thread, said device having a twisting tube, said friction disc having a pair of faces and a peripheral surface therebetween, said peripheral surface when the disc is associated with the tube on the false twisting device being in the path of oil flung from the thread by the tube as the thread is twisted, that face of the disc which faces the said tube intersecting the said surface in an abrupt edge from which oil flowing over the face towards the surface will be thrown by centrifugal force as the disc rotates, and an annular groove in said peripheral surface adjacent to but spaced from said abrupt edge, said groove having a closed end of smaller cross-section than the cross-section of its open end and an inclined wall between the closed end and mouth adjacent to the said abrupt edge intersecting the surface to form a second edge from which any oil moving over the first edge on said surface is removed by centrifugal force as the disc rotates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
179 words
A friction disc for a false twisting device for crimping thread, said device having a twisting tube, said friction disc having a pair of faces and a peripheral surface therebetween, said peripheral surface when the disc is associated with the tube on the false twisting device being in the path of oil flung from the thread by the tube as the thread is twisted, that face of the disc which faces the said tube intersecting the said surface in an abrupt edge from which oil flowing over the face towards the surface will be thrown by centrifugal force as the disc rotates, and an annular groove in said peripheral surface adjacent to but spaced from said abrupt edge, said groove having a closed end of smaller cross-section than the cross-section of its open end and an inclined wall between the closed end and mouth adjacent to the said abrupt edge intersecting the surface to form a second edge from which any oil moving over the first edge on said surface is removed by centrifugal force as the disc rotates.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
97 words
A friction roller for driving a twist tube of a false twisting apparatus for crimping a thread comprising a friction ring having a peripheral surface which comprises a running surface, a first face adjacent to the twist tube and an opposite face, and means for protecting the running surface from oil thrown from the thread as the twist tube rotates comprising a first slinger edge at the juncture between the peripheral surface and the said first face, and a second slinger edge on said peripheral surface spaced axially from the first slinger edge towards the running surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
97 words
A friction roller for driving a twist tube of a false twisting apparatus for crimping a thread comprising a friction ring having a peripheral surface which comprises a running surface, a first face adjacent to the twist tube and an opposite face, and means for protecting the running surface from oil thrown from the thread as the twist tube rotates comprising a first slinger edge at the juncture between the peripheral surface and the said first face, and a second slinger edge on said peripheral surface spaced axially from the first slinger edge towards the running surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
The friction roller of claim 2 wherein an annular groove is disposed in the said peripheral surface between the said first and second slinger edges, said groove having a frusto-conical surface inclined inwardly from the first slinger edge and a second surface which terminates to form the second slinger edge.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The friction roller of claim 3 wherein the said inclined surface is inclined at about 45° with the axis of the roller.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
The friction roller of claim 3 wherein the said peripheral surface has two axially spaced grooves and a cylindrical surface between the grooves of smaller diameter than the diameter of the running surface.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The friction roller of claim 3 wherein the face thereof facing the twist tube has a protective coating.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The friction roller of claim 6 wherein the protective coating extends into the groove and said running surface is uncoated.
