Abstract
Abstract The winding equipment for winding yarn, tape or wire-shaped material comprises a bobbin shaft carrying a rotatably fixed armature plate, which is in magnetic, adjustable driving connection with a plate carrying permanent magnets and fixed on the shaft of the driving motor, the adjustment thereof resulting by a thread tension regulating device with a dancing arm carrying a dancing roller. In this connection, the motor or the shaft thereof carrying the permanent magnet plate is supported relative to the bobbin shaft carrying the armature plate radially displaceable as a function of the rotating motion of the dancing arm on the frame of the winding equipment. Owing to this radial displacement of the plates generating the driving connection, relative to each other, not only is the induced magnetic field changed in the simplest manner, but, in addition, the two plates can be arranged with the slightest air gap between each other, which, accordingly, allows for the utilization of small permanent magnets to secure a sufficient magnetic driving connection between the two plates.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
234 words
A yarn winder which comprises: a winder frame; a bobbin shaft journaled on said frame and carrying a bobbin upon which a yarn is to be wound; a driven plate mounted on an end of said bobbin shaft; an electric motor having a drive shaft parallel to said bobbin shaft; a drive plate on said drive shaft juxtaposable with said driven plate and magnetically couplable therewith to rotate said bobbin when said motor is energized, one of said plates being provided with permanent magnets, the other of said plates being composed of a magnetically permeable material for magnetic coupling with said permanent magnets; support means for pivotally mounting said drive shaft for angular displacement about a pivot axis parallel to said shafts but offset from said drive shaft to displace said drive plate generally radially with respect to said driven plate to vary the magnetic coupling between said plates; a dancing arm swingably mounted on said frame and provided with a dancing roller about which a loop of said yarn passes and forming a yarn-tension detector; and means coupling said arm with said support means for swinging said drive shaft about said pivot axis to decrease said magnetic coupling by a said generally radial displacement of said drive plate in one direction upon an increase in yarn tension and to increase said magnetic coupling by a reverse generally radial displacement of said drive plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
234 words
A yarn winder which comprises: a winder frame; a bobbin shaft journaled on said frame and carrying a bobbin upon which a yarn is to be wound; a driven plate mounted on an end of said bobbin shaft; an electric motor having a drive shaft parallel to said bobbin shaft; a drive plate on said drive shaft juxtaposable with said driven plate and magnetically couplable therewith to rotate said bobbin when said motor is energized, one of said plates being provided with permanent magnets, the other of said plates being composed of a magnetically permeable material for magnetic coupling with said permanent magnets; support means for pivotally mounting said drive shaft for angular displacement about a pivot axis parallel to said shafts but offset from said drive shaft to displace said drive plate generally radially with respect to said driven plate to vary the magnetic coupling between said plates; a dancing arm swingably mounted on said frame and provided with a dancing roller about which a loop of said yarn passes and forming a yarn-tension detector; and means coupling said arm with said support means for swinging said drive shaft about said pivot axis to decrease said magnetic coupling by a said generally radial displacement of said drive plate in one direction upon an increase in yarn tension and to increase said magnetic coupling by a reverse generally radial displacement of said drive plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The yard winder defined in claim 1 wherein said means coupling said arm with said support means includes a lever angularly displaceable with said arm and having a free end connected to said support means by an adjustable rod.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The yard winder defined in claim 2 wherein said lever is fixed to a pivot shaft carrying said arm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The yard winder defined in claim 1 wherein said support means includes a bearing eye journaled on said pivot axis and extending radially from said motor.
