Bobbin holder
The improvement relates to a bottom holder for winding up a thread, wherein a bobbin case can be slid onto a protruding bobbin spindle. In order to catch and clamp a thread on the circumference of the bobbin spindle at the beginning of a bobbin travel, a thread catching device and a thread clamping means are provided at a free insertion end of the bobbin spindle. In order to both securely clamp and automatically release the thread end when sliding off a bobbin, according to the improvement, the clamping means is formed by a hollow cylindrical clamping bushing, an outer cone thereof being fitted into an inner diameter bounded by catches, such that a clamping slit substantially axially oriented and open toward the insertion end of the bobbin spindle is formed between the clamping bushing and the catch.
1. Bobbin holder for winding a thread, having a projecting bobbin spindle for sliding into a bobbin tube, the bobbin spindle having a thread catching device and a thread clamping apparatus at a free slip-on end, the thread catching device being formed by multiple axially protruding catches which cooperate with the thread clamping apparatus for clamping the thread at the beginning of a bobbin travel,
wherein the thread clamping apparatus is formed by a hollow cylindrical clamping bushing which via an outer cone is fitted into an inner diameter delimited by the catches in such a way that a fixed clamping slot which is essentially axially oriented and open toward the slip-on end is formed between the clamping bushing and the catch.
2. Bobbin holder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the clamping bushing has multiple cone segments uniformly distributed at the periphery, so that one of multiple clamping slots is associated with each catch.
3. Bobbin holder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the clamping slot between the clamping bushing and one of the catches has a V-shaped opening cross section having an opening angle (α) in the range of 1° to 30°.
4. Bobbin holder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the clamping slot is formed by two outer cones having different lead angles at the clamping bushing, an inlet zone of the clamping slot having an opening angle (α 2 ) which is larger than a clamping zone of the clamping slot, having an opening angle (α 1 ).
5. Bobbin holder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the clamping bushing has a cylindrical guide section, facing the end of the catches, which extends from beneath the catch, beyond the length of the catches.
6. Bobbin holder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the bobbin spindle has multiple axially offset thread catching devices and thread clamping apparatus for accommodating multiple bobbin tubes at the periphery.
7. Bobbin holder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the clamping bushing at the end of the bobbin spindle has a cup-shaped design, and is attached to the bobbin spindle at an end face.
8. Bobbin holder according to claim 7 ,
wherein additional outer cones are provided at the open end of the clamping bushing.
9. Bobbin holder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the bobbin spindle is connected to an electric motor at the oppositely situated drive end.
