Abstract
Abstract A waste binding yarn take-up device for a shuttleless loom, comprises a traction device for pulling waste binding yarns at a constant traction speed, a rotary traverse roller rotatable at a peripheral velocity slightly higher than the traction speed of the traction device, and formed at its outer surface with a guide groove along which the waste binding yarns from the traction device is guided to make traverse motion thereof, and a rotatable core member on which a cheese of the waste binding yarns from the traverse roller is capable of being formed, the core member being biased so that the outer surface of the cheese contacts the outer surface of the traverse roller, thereby wounding up the waste binding yarns on the core member, holding in tension the waste binding yarns without causing the slackening of the waste binding yarns.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A waste binding yarn take-up device for a shuttleness loom, comprising: traction means for pulling waste binding yarns at a constant traction speed; a rotary traverse roller formed at the outer surface thereof with a guide groove along which said waste binding yarns from said traction means are guided, the said guide groove being arranged to impart a traversing motion to said yarns; means for rotating said traverse roller at a peripheral velocity slightly higher than the traction speed of said traction means; a rotatable core member on which the waste binding yarns from said traverse roller is capable of being wound; and means for biasing said rotatable core member and the waste binding yarns wound thereon into contact with said traverse roller.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A waste binding yarn take-up device for a shuttleness loom, comprising: traction means for pulling waste binding yarns at a constant traction speed; a rotary traverse roller formed at the outer surface thereof with a guide groove along which said waste binding yarns from said traction means are guided, the said guide groove being arranged to impart a traversing motion to said yarns; means for rotating said traverse roller at a peripheral velocity slightly higher than the traction speed of said traction means; a rotatable core member on which the waste binding yarns from said traverse roller is capable of being wound; and means for biasing said rotatable core member and the waste binding yarns wound thereon into contact with said traverse roller.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A waste binding yarn take-up device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a yarn guide through which the waste binding yarns from said traction means are guided onto said traverse roller.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A waste binding yarn take-up device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said traction means includes a pair of driven gears between which the waste binding yarns are put.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A waste binding yarn take-up device as claimed in claim 3, wherein said traverse roller is rotatably mounted on a stationary shaft whose axis is parallel with the axes of said gears of said traction means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
83 words
A waste binding yarn take-up device as claimed in claim 4, wherein said traverse roller rotating means includes a rotatable prime mover shaft whose axis is parallel with the axis of said stationary shaft for said traverse roller, a first drive pulley securely mounted on said rotatable prime mover shaft, a first driven pulley rotatably mounted on said stationary shaft and rotatable with said traverse roller as a single unit, and a belt connecting said first drive pulley and said first driven pulley.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
68 words
A waste binding yarn take-up device as claimed in claim 5, said traction means includes means for rotating said pair of gears, said gear rotating means including a second drive pulley securely mounted on said rotatable prime mover shaft, a second driven pulley rotatable with one of said pair of gears as a single unit, and a belt connecting said second drive pulley and said second driven pulley.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A waste binding yarn take-up device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said traverse roller rotating means rotates said traverse roller at a peripheral velocity of a range from 1.2 to 1.5 times the traction speed of said traction means.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
98 words
A method of taking up a waste binding yarn in a shuttleness loom, comprising the following steps of: pulling waste binding yarns at a constant traction speed by using a traction device; imparting traverse motion to said waste binding yarns from said traction device by using a rotary traverse roller; rotating said traverse roller at a peripheral velocity slightly higher than said traction speed of said traction device; and winding up said waste binding yarns from said traverse roller to form a cheese on a rotatable core member which is biased to be contactable with said traverse roller.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
98 words
A method of taking up a waste binding yarn in a shuttleness loom, comprising the following steps of: pulling waste binding yarns at a constant traction speed by using a traction device; imparting traverse motion to said waste binding yarns from said traction device by using a rotary traverse roller; rotating said traverse roller at a peripheral velocity slightly higher than said traction speed of said traction device; and winding up said waste binding yarns from said traverse roller to form a cheese on a rotatable core member which is biased to be contactable with said traverse roller.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
130 words
A method for taking up a waste binding yarns in a shuttleness loom of the type including a traction device of pulling the waste binding yarns, a rotary traverse roller formed at the outer surface thereof with a guide groove along which the binding yarns from the traction device are guided to make traverse motion thereof, and a rotatable core member on which a cheese of the waste binding yarns from the traverse roller can be formed, the core member being biased to be contactable with the traverse roller, said method comprising the following steps of: operating the traction device to pull said waste binding yarns at a constant traction speed; and rotating the traverse roller at a peripheral velocity slightly higher than the traction speed of the traction device.
