Abstract
Abstract Method of determining incorrectly operating spinning stations of a spinning machine which includes counting with counting means for each spinning station the number of anomalous interruptions of the operation thereof, interrogating at the time intervals the count at the respective counting means with an operating device capable of traveling relatively to the spinning stations, and issuing a fault signal automatically if a predetermined count of the respective counting means for the spinning stations is reached or exceeded, and device for performing the foregoing method.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
Method of determining incorrectly operating spinning stations of a spinning machine which comprises counting with separate counting means for each spinning station the number of anomalous interruptions of the operation thereof exclusively at the respective spinning station, interrogating at time intervals the count at the respective counting means with an operating device capable of traveling relatively to the spinning stations, and issuing a fault signal automatically if a pre-determined count of the respective counting means for the respective spinning stations is at least reached.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
Method of determining incorrectly operating spinning stations of a spinning machine which comprises counting with separate counting means for each spinning station the number of anomalous interruptions of the operation thereof exclusively at the respective spinning station, interrogating at time intervals the count at the respective counting means with an operating device capable of traveling relatively to the spinning stations, and issuing a fault signal automatically if a pre-determined count of the respective counting means for the respective spinning stations is at least reached.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Method according to claim 1 which includes resetting the counting means automatically to starting position thereof after a predetermined count has been at least reached.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
Method according to claim 1 which includes resetting the counting means for all of the spinning stations opposite to the counting direction automatically and simultaneously by a given amount to a preceding value in accordance with a common resetting program after a predetermined count has been at least reached.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
Method according to claim 1 which includes resetting the counting means for all of the spinning stations opposite to the counting direction automatically and successively at predetermined time intervals by a given amount to a preceding value in accordance with a common resetting program after a predetermined count has been at least reached.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
107 words
Device for performing a method of determining incorrectly operating spinning stations of a spinning machine comprising separate counting means located at the respective spinning stations at least at a given time at which they are effective for counting the number of anomalous interruptions of the operation exclusively at the respective spinning stations, a mobile operating device capable of traveling relatively to the spinning stations and including means for interrogating said counting means at time intervals to determine the count, and means for issuing a fault signal automatically in response to at least the reaching of a predetermined count of the respective counting means for the spinning stations.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
107 words
Device for performing a method of determining incorrectly operating spinning stations of a spinning machine comprising separate counting means located at the respective spinning stations at least at a given time at which they are effective for counting the number of anomalous interruptions of the operation exclusively at the respective spinning stations, a mobile operating device capable of traveling relatively to the spinning stations and including means for interrogating said counting means at time intervals to determine the count, and means for issuing a fault signal automatically in response to at least the reaching of a predetermined count of the respective counting means for the spinning stations.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
Device according to claim 5 including means for comparing the count interrogated by said interrogating means with a value of said predetermined count.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
Device according to claim 5 including means for resetting said counting means, respectively, automatically to a given preceding count position thereof in response to the reaching of the predetermined count of said counting means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
28 words
Device according to claim 5 wherein said counting means for the spinning stations are included in said mobile operating device for traveling therewith relative to the spinning stations.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
24 words
Device according to claim 8 wherein said mobile operating device comprises electronic means for selecting the respective counting means for the individual spinning stations.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
14 words
Device according to claim 9 wherein said electronic selecting means is a shift register.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
14 words
Device according to claim 9 wherein said electronic selecting means is an address counter.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
29 words
Device according to claim 9 wherein said electronic selecting means comprises a synchronizing device for automatically synchronizing data transfer from the respective spinning sation to the respective counting means.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
55 words
Device according to claim 5 wherein said counting means are bidirectional counters, and including means for feeding fault counting pulses in counting direction thereto at a predetermined rhythm corresponding to the fault frequency, and means for feeding counting pulses corresponding to actual anomalous interruptions of operation of the respective spinning machine in opposite counting direction.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
33 words
Device according to claim 13 including means for resetting the respective bidirectional counter to a starting position only in response to the exceeding of a predetermined count or the counter has run over.
