Abstract

Wind-on device for workstations of two-for-one twisters and ply twisters with a take-up bobbin, a drive shaft extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine, a friction roller which is driven by the drive shaft and causes the take-up bobbin to make a rotational movement, and a driven advance roller positioned upstream of the friction roller in the yarn run. According to the invention, in addition to the friction roller ( 14, 15 ), the advance roller ( 8, 9 ) is also driven by the drive shaft ( 27, 28 ) and in that the advance roller ( 8, 9 ) is mounted on a support element ( 23, 24 ) and can be pivoted together with the support element ( 23, 24 ) about a pivot axle selectively into an operating position or into a higher situated service position.

Claims (8)

1. Wind-on device for workstations of a two-for-one twister machine or a ply twister machine comprising a take-up bobbin, a drive shaft extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine, a friction roller which is driven by the drive shaft and causes the take-up bobbin to make a rotational movement for winding of a traveling yarn thereon, a traversing yarn displacement device for delivering the yarn traversingly to the take-up bobbin to wind thereon in a cross-winding manner, and a driven advance roller positioned upstream of the friction roller relative to a path of yarn travel onto the take-up bobbin for looping of the traveling yarn about the advance roller for reducing tension in the yarn prior to winding on the take-up bobbin, characterised in that in addition to the friction roller ( 14 , 15 ), the advance roller ( 8 , 9 ) is also driven by the drive shaft ( 27 , 28 ) and in that the advance roller ( 8 , 9 ) is mounted on a support element ( 23 , 24 ) and pivots together with the support element ( 23 , 24 ) about a pivot axle selectively into an operating position or into a higher situated service position.

2. Wind-on device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the friction roller ( 14 , 15 ) is fixed on the drive shaft ( 27 , 28 ) and the advance roller ( 8 , 9 ) is driven by means of a transmission element ( 27 , 43 ) by the drive roller ( 27 , 28 ).

3. Wind-on device according to claim 2 , characterised in that the transmission element ( 37 , 43 ) is configured as a round belt.

4. Wind-on device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the drive shaft ( 27 , 28 ) forms the pivot axle of the support element ( 23 , 24 ).

5. Wind-on device according to claim 1 , characterised in that the support element ( 23 , 24 ) comprises an attachment ( 38 , 44 ) directed toward the take-up bobbin, which attachment lifts the take-up bobbin from the friction roller ( 14 , 15 ) into the service position.

6. Wind-on device according to claim 1 , characterised in that an activatable lifting cylinder engaging on the support element ( 23 , 24 ) is present, by means of which the support element ( 23 , 24 ) is pivoted.

7. Wind-on device according to claim 6 , characterised in that the lifting cylinder is configured as a pneumatic cylinder ( 25 , 26 ).

8. Wind-on device according to claim 1 , characterised in that a stop motion ( 6 , 7 ) is arranged in the path of yarn travel upstream of the advance roller ( 8 , 9 ) and generates a signal to pivot up the support element ( 23 , 24 ) if a yarn ( 5 ) is no longer detected.
