Abstract
Abstract A double-twist twisting spindle (2) driven by an individual electric motor (9), the stator (10) of which is fastened to the supporting stand (1) of the machine and the rotor (11) of which is fixed to the shank (2) of the spindle, a stationary package holder (3) being arranged in the extension of the spindle. The mounting of the stationary members on the machine stand (1) is carried out by a sleeve (12) mounted elastically on the stand (1) and fixed to the housing of the motor, the bearings (14, 15) which guide and support the spindle being mounted on the inside of an intermediate bush (16) mounted removably on the inside of the supporting sleeve (12).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
260 words
A double-twist twisting spindle for use in a textile apparatus comprising: a spindle shank having first and second ends, and a central axis corresponding to the axial direction of said double-twist twisting spindle; a rotor mounted to said first end of said shank; a machine stand vertically supporting said shank and disposed between said first and said second end of said shank; a motor housing arranged around said first end of said shank; a supporting sleeve having first and second ends, said sleeve being fixed inside said motor housing at said first end thereof and being elastically mounted to said machine stand at said second end thereof; a stator fixed to an interior of said first end of said sleeve within said motor housing, wherein said stator and said rotor comprise an electric motor within said motor housing and interact to rotatably drive said shank; a bushing disposed at an interior of said second end of said sleeve; bearings mounted to an interior of said bushing for securing said shank therein; a rotary guide member mounted on said second end of said shank; holding means adjacent to said rotary guide member for holding a reel of yarn such that the central axis of said reel of yarn extends in said axial direction; a locking device for removably mounting said bushing to said sleeve, wherein said shank, said rotor, said bushing, said bearings, said rotary guide member and said holding means can simultaneously be freely removed from said sleeve in an axial direction of said shank upon unlocking said locking device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
260 words
A double-twist twisting spindle for use in a textile apparatus comprising: a spindle shank having first and second ends, and a central axis corresponding to the axial direction of said double-twist twisting spindle; a rotor mounted to said first end of said shank; a machine stand vertically supporting said shank and disposed between said first and said second end of said shank; a motor housing arranged around said first end of said shank; a supporting sleeve having first and second ends, said sleeve being fixed inside said motor housing at said first end thereof and being elastically mounted to said machine stand at said second end thereof; a stator fixed to an interior of said first end of said sleeve within said motor housing, wherein said stator and said rotor comprise an electric motor within said motor housing and interact to rotatably drive said shank; a bushing disposed at an interior of said second end of said sleeve; bearings mounted to an interior of said bushing for securing said shank therein; a rotary guide member mounted on said second end of said shank; holding means adjacent to said rotary guide member for holding a reel of yarn such that the central axis of said reel of yarn extends in said axial direction; a locking device for removably mounting said bushing to said sleeve, wherein said shank, said rotor, said bushing, said bearings, said rotary guide member and said holding means can simultaneously be freely removed from said sleeve in an axial direction of said shank upon unlocking said locking device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The spindle of claim 1, wherein said locking device consists of a screw.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The spindle of claim 1, further comprising elastic studs for elastically mounting said sleeve to said machine stand.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
334 words
A textile apparatus, comprising: a double-twist twisting spindle comprising: a) a spindle shank having first and second ends, said shank having a bore formed therein through which first yarn passes, said spindle shank having a central axis corresponding to the axial direction of said double-twist twisting spindle; b) a rotor mounted to said first end of said shank; c) a machine stand vertically supporting said shank and disposed between said first and said second end of said shank; d) a motor housing arranged around said first end of said shank; e) a supporting sleeve having first and second ends, said sleeve being fixed inside said motor housing at said first end thereof and being elastically mounted to said machine stand at said second end thereof; f) a stator fixed to an interior of said first end of said sleeve within said motor housing, wherein said stator and said rotor comprise an electric motor within said motor housing and interact to rotatably drive said shank; g) a bushing disposed at an interior of said second end of said sleeve; h) bearings mounted to an interior of said bushing for securing said shank therein; and i) a rotary guide member mounted to said second end of said shank, said guide member guiding said first yarn from said bore in said shank around a second yarn which comes from a yarn reel; j) holding means arranged adjacent said rotary guide member for holding a reel of second yarn such that the central axis of said reel extends in said axial direction; k) a locking device for removably mounting said bushing to said sleeve, wherein said shank, said rotor, said bushing, said bearings, said rotary guide member and said holding means can simultaneously be freely removed from said sleeve in the axial direction of said shank upon unlocking said locking device; and l) means for applying tension to said second yarn leaving said reel, said first yarn and said second yarn being combined downstream of said tension means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
334 words
A textile apparatus, comprising: a double-twist twisting spindle comprising: a) a spindle shank having first and second ends, said shank having a bore formed therein through which first yarn passes, said spindle shank having a central axis corresponding to the axial direction of said double-twist twisting spindle; b) a rotor mounted to said first end of said shank; c) a machine stand vertically supporting said shank and disposed between said first and said second end of said shank; d) a motor housing arranged around said first end of said shank; e) a supporting sleeve having first and second ends, said sleeve being fixed inside said motor housing at said first end thereof and being elastically mounted to said machine stand at said second end thereof; f) a stator fixed to an interior of said first end of said sleeve within said motor housing, wherein said stator and said rotor comprise an electric motor within said motor housing and interact to rotatably drive said shank; g) a bushing disposed at an interior of said second end of said sleeve; h) bearings mounted to an interior of said bushing for securing said shank therein; and i) a rotary guide member mounted to said second end of said shank, said guide member guiding said first yarn from said bore in said shank around a second yarn which comes from a yarn reel; j) holding means arranged adjacent said rotary guide member for holding a reel of second yarn such that the central axis of said reel extends in said axial direction; k) a locking device for removably mounting said bushing to said sleeve, wherein said shank, said rotor, said bushing, said bearings, said rotary guide member and said holding means can simultaneously be freely removed from said sleeve in the axial direction of said shank upon unlocking said locking device; and l) means for applying tension to said second yarn leaving said reel, said first yarn and said second yarn being combined downstream of said tension means.
