Machine for ordering textile tubes for a continuous spinning machine

摘要

The machine for ordering textile tubes for entry into the distributor of a continuous spinning machine includes mechanisms that perform that ordering so that, independently, the textile tubes can be delivered to one side or the other of the spinning machine and devices for ordering tubes of different dimensions automatically. The ordering machine has a hopper, containing textile tubes, two parallel vertical conveyor belts provided with textile tube holders for the tubes which move the tubes from one end at the hopper to another end remote from it, a bottom discharge device for feeding the ordered tubes to the spinning machine and lateral guides for guiding the tubes to the bottom discharge devices. The textile tube holders are advantageously rubber sections vulcanized onto the conveyor belt of various transverse cross-sections or metallic angular sections fastened to the conveyor belts. Devices for ejection of excess tubes are provided associated with each textile tube holder and include springs which act through belt apertures between the holders to eject all textile tubes but one from each of the tube holders. Control covers with a device for detecting a jam-up in the guides can automatically halt the operation.
