Definitions
- the innovation relates to a module for tufting tools, in particular needles, in which the tufting tools are cast at one end in a plate-shaped base body, the length of which corresponds to a multiple of the center distance of the cast-in tufting tools, which has a front and a rear contact surface, the front contact surface is provided on its longitudinally extending edge in the region of the exit of the tufting tools from the base body with a projecting contact strip, and which has a continuous opening between the front and the rear contact surface.
- Such a module for a tufting machine is known from EP 0 446 215.
- the base body has a contact strip on its front side, which comes into contact with a needle bar or a part thereof in the assembled state and enables an exact alignment of the module with respect to the needle bar.
- This needle module can therefore only be fixed in one orientation on the needle bar.
- the tufting tools housed in such a module can therefore only be used in a single rotational position relative to the bar. So if it is necessary to use the tufting tools in a different, 180 ° changed rotational position with respect to the bar, it is necessary to use modules in which the rotational position of the needles is changed accordingly. Two types of modules must then be kept ready, in which the tufting tools deviate from each other in their rotational position by 180 °. This requires the availability of various modules and is therefore expensive.
- Each base body is provided with an opening in the form of a through hole through which a screw to attach the module to the bar or the like can be passed.
- the insertion and removal of such a module requires that the screw is first completely removed from the hole for this purpose.
- the task on which the innovation is based is, in particular, to create a module which can be installed and removed easily and quickly with a simple structure.
- this object is achieved in a module of the type mentioned at the outset in that the opening is formed by at least one cutout starting from the upper edge of the base body.
- the new module can be designed so that the cutout has the shape of an elongated hole open at one end.
- the module according to the innovation can also be designed such that the cutout is continuously open to a side edge of the base body.
- a cutout that is open toward the side edge is then expediently provided on both side edges of the base body.
- These cutouts can accommodate a screw to fix the module.
- the cutouts can have the shape of an elongated hole through which a screw can be passed in order to thereby fix two modules each in the region of a side edge.
- Each module is expediently locked in the same way on both side edges.
- the module according to the innovation can also be designed such that it has at least two rows of tufting tools arranged in parallel, the tools of one row being offset from those of the adjacent row. In this way, finer divisions can be achieved in the tufting process.
- the new module can also be designed so that the tufting tools of the different rows are arranged in a common one-piece base body.
- the module according to the innovation can also be designed such that the tufting tools are arranged in sections which form a base body and are detachably connected to one another.
- the module according to the innovation can be designed such that the base body is also provided with a contact strip on its rear contact surface.
- This training can make it possible to use the tufting tools cast in the module in two positions rotated 180 ° against each other. This means that the number of tools required can be halved compared to the practice previously required for this.
- the module shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a base body 1 with a front contact surface 2 and a rear contact surface 3 running parallel thereto.
- the pistons of tufting needles 4 are cast into the base body 1.
- the base body 1 is formed symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry 5 running centrally between the front contact surface 2 and the rear contact surface 3. In the area in which the tufting needles 4 emerge from the base body 1, it has one contact strip 6, 7 projecting over the two contact surfaces 2, 3. These contact strips 6, 7 each have a stop shoulder 8, which is attached to a needle bar or parts thereof in the assembled state and thus aligns the module with respect to the needle bar.
- the axes of the tufting needles 4 lie parallel to one another in the plane of symmetry 5 of the base body 1.
- the base body 1 is provided with an elongated hole 9 which extends normally to the contact strips 6, 7. It is open at the edge 10 of the base body 1 opposite the contact strips 6, 7.
- the elongated hole 9 extends from the front contact surface 2 to the rear contact surface 4.
- this module can be fixed in two rotational positions on a bar, the rotational position of the needles being changed accordingly.
- the embodiment of the module according to the invention described in FIGS. 3 to 5 has two parallel rows of tufting needles 4 which are offset from one another by half a pitch.
- the module has a base body 11 with a front contact surface 12, a rear body surface 13, an upper edge 14 and a lower edge 15.
- a contact strip 16 is provided which forms a shoulder 17 with the front contact surface 12 .
- the base body 11 thus formed can be arranged side by side in any number, the needle distance in each row remains the same across the dividing line between adjacent modules.
- the base body 11 forms a shoulder 23 in its upper, rear region 22, which can be used as a stop surface.
- the module according to the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 8 differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 to 5 only in that here two parallel elongated holes 25 are provided in a base body 24 which are open towards the upper edge 14.
- FIGS. 9 to 11 differs from the embodiments previously described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8 only in that a base body 26 is provided here, which extends from its upper edge 14 and is continuously open to the side edges 27 Cutouts 28 has. If modules according to this embodiment are now lined up, the cutouts 28 of adjacent modules then complement one another to form an elongated hole. A screw passed through such an elongated hole then acts simultaneously on the two abutting modules. Each module is expediently held on its two side edges by a screw, this screw in turn acting on two adjacent modules at the same time.

Abstract
Description
Die Neuerung betrifft ein Modul für Tuftingwerkzeuge, insbesondere Nadeln, bei dem die Tuftingwerkzeuge mit ihrem einen Ende in einem plattenförmigen Grundkörper eingegossen sind, dessen Länge einem Vielfachen des Mittenabstandes der eingegossenen Tuftingwerkzeuge entspricht, der eine vordere und eine hintere Anlagefläche aufweist, wobei die vordere Anlagefläche an ihrem in Längsrichtung verlaufenden, im Bereich des Austritts der Tuftingwerkzeuge aus dem Grundkörper verlaufenden Rand mit einer vorspringenden Anlageleiste versehen ist, und der eine zwischen der vorderen und der hinteren Anlagefläche durchgehende Durchbrechung hat.The innovation relates to a module for tufting tools, in particular needles, in which the tufting tools are cast at one end in a plate-shaped base body, the length of which corresponds to a multiple of the center distance of the cast-in tufting tools, which has a front and a rear contact surface, the front contact surface is provided on its longitudinally extending edge in the region of the exit of the tufting tools from the base body with a projecting contact strip, and which has a continuous opening between the front and the rear contact surface.
Ein derartiges Modul für eine Tuftingmaschine ist aus EP 0 446 215 bekannt. Bei diesem bekannten Modul hat der Grundkörper auf seiner Vorderseite eine Anlageleiste, die im montierten Zustand an einer Nadelbarre oder einem Teil derselben zur Anlage kommt und eine exakte Ausrichtung des Moduls bezüglich der Nadelbarre ermöglicht. Dieses Nadelmodul kann also nur in einer Ausrichtung an der Nadelbarre festgelegt werden. Die in einem solchen Modul untergebrachten Tuftingwerkzeuge können folglich auch nur in einer einzigen Drehstellung zur Barre Einsatz finden. Wenn es also erforderlich ist, die Tuftingwerkzeuge in einer anderen, um 180° veränderten Drehstellung bezüglich der Barre einzusetzen, so ist es erforderlich, Module zu verwenden, in denen die Drehstellung der Nadeln entsprechend geändert ist. Es müssen dann also zwei Arten von Modulen bereitgehalten werden, bei denen die Tuftingwerkzeuge in ihrer Drehstellung um 180° gegeneinander abweichen. Dies erfordert das Bereithalten verschiedener Module und ist folglich kostenaufwendig.Such a module for a tufting machine is known from EP 0 446 215. In this known module, the base body has a contact strip on its front side, which comes into contact with a needle bar or a part thereof in the assembled state and enables an exact alignment of the module with respect to the needle bar. This needle module can therefore only be fixed in one orientation on the needle bar. The tufting tools housed in such a module can therefore only be used in a single rotational position relative to the bar. So if it is necessary to use the tufting tools in a different, 180 ° changed rotational position with respect to the bar, it is necessary to use modules in which the rotational position of the needles is changed accordingly. Two types of modules must then be kept ready, in which the tufting tools deviate from each other in their rotational position by 180 °. This requires the availability of various modules and is therefore expensive.
Jeder Grundkörper ist dabei mit einer Durchbrechung in Form eines durchgehenden Lochs versehen, durch das eine Schraube zur Befestigung des Moduls an der Barre oder dergleichen hindurchgeführt werden kann. Das Einsetzen eines solchen Moduls und sein Ausbau erfordert, daß die Schraube aus dem Loch zu diesem Zweck zunächst ganz herausgenommen wird.Each base body is provided with an opening in the form of a through hole through which a screw to attach the module to the bar or the like can be passed. The insertion and removal of such a module requires that the screw is first completely removed from the hole for this purpose.
Die der Neuerung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe besteht insbesondere darin, ein Modul zu schaffen, das bei einfachem Aufbau leicht und schnell eingebaut bzw. entnommen werden kann.The task on which the innovation is based is, in particular, to create a module which can be installed and removed easily and quickly with a simple structure.
Diese Aufgabe wird neuerungsgemäß bei einem Modul der eingangs erwähnten Art dadurch gelöst, daß die Durchbrechung durch mindestens einen vom oberen Rand des Grundkörpers ausgehenden Ausschnitt gebildet ist.According to the innovation, this object is achieved in a module of the type mentioned at the outset in that the opening is formed by at least one cutout starting from the upper edge of the base body.
Dies hat zur Folge, daß es für den Ein- und Ausbau eines solchen Moduls nicht mehr erforderlich ist, Schrauben ganz aus Durchbrechungen in den Modulen zu entfernen. Vielmehr reicht es aus, derartige Schrauben leicht zu lösen. Die Module können dann aus ihrer Montageposition entnommen bzw. in diese wieder eingeführt werden. Die Zahl der Durchbrechungen ist nach den jeweiligen Gegebenheiten frei wählbar.The consequence of this is that it is no longer necessary for the installation and removal of such a module to remove screws completely from openings in the modules. Rather, it is sufficient to loosen such screws easily. The modules can then be removed from their installation position or reinserted into them. The number of breakthroughs can be freely selected according to the respective circumstances.
Das neuerungsgemäße Modul kann so ausgebildet sein, daß der Ausschnitt die Form eines an seinem einen Ende offenen Langlochs hat.The new module can be designed so that the cutout has the shape of an elongated hole open at one end.
Das neuerungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß der Ausschnitt zu einem Seitenrand des Grundkörpers hin durchgehend offen ist. Dabei ist dann zweckmäßigerweise an beiden Seitenrändern des Grundkörpers je ein zum Seitenrand hin offener Ausschnitt vorgesehen. Diese Ausschnitte können eine Schraube zur Fixierung des Moduls aufnehmen. Die Ausschnitte können beim Zusammenwirken zweier nebeneinander liegender Module gemeinsam die Form eines Langloches haben, durch das eine Schraube hindurchgeführt werden kann, um auf diese Weise zwei Module jeweils im Bereich einer Seitenkante festzulegen. Zweckmäßigerweise wird jedes Modul an beiden Seitenkanten in gleicher Weise arretiert.The module according to the innovation can also be designed such that the cutout is continuously open to a side edge of the base body. In this case, a cutout that is open toward the side edge is then expediently provided on both side edges of the base body. These cutouts can accommodate a screw to fix the module. When two modules lying side by side interact, the cutouts can have the shape of an elongated hole through which a screw can be passed in order to thereby fix two modules each in the region of a side edge. Each module is expediently locked in the same way on both side edges.
Das neuerungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß er mindestens zwei Reihen von parallel angeordneten Tuftingwerkzeugen aufweist, wobei die Werkzeuge der einen Reihe gegenüber denen der benachbarten Reihe versetzt sind. Auf diese Weise lassen sich feinere Teilungen bei dem Tuftingvorgang erzielen.The module according to the innovation can also be designed such that it has at least two rows of tufting tools arranged in parallel, the tools of one row being offset from those of the adjacent row. In this way, finer divisions can be achieved in the tufting process.
Das neuerungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die Tuftingwerkzeuge der verschiedenen Reihen in einem gemeinsamen einstückigen Grundkörper angeordnet sind.The new module can also be designed so that the tufting tools of the different rows are arranged in a common one-piece base body.
Das neuerungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die Tuftingwerkzeuge in lösbar miteinander verbundenen, einen Grundkörper bildenden Abschnitten angeordnet sind.The module according to the innovation can also be designed such that the tufting tools are arranged in sections which form a base body and are detachably connected to one another.
Schließlich kann das neuerungsgemäße Modul so ausgebildet sein, daß der Grundkörper auch an seiner hinteren Anlagefläche mit einer Anlageleiste versehen ist. Diese Ausbildung kann es ermöglichen, die im Modul eingegossenen Tuftingwerkzeuge wahlweise in zwei 180° gegeneinader verdrehten Positionen zum Einsatz zu bringen. Damit kann die Zahl der erforderlichen Werkzeuge gegenüber der hierfür bisher erforderlichen Praxis halbiert werden.Finally, the module according to the innovation can be designed such that the base body is also provided with a contact strip on its rear contact surface. This training can make it possible to use the tufting tools cast in the module in two positions rotated 180 ° against each other. This means that the number of tools required can be halved compared to the practice previously required for this.

Der Grundkörper 1 ist mit einem Langloch 9 versehen, das sich normal zu den Anlageleisten 6,7 erstreckt. Es ist an dem den Anlageleisten 6,7 gegenüberliegenden Rand 10 des Grundkörpers 1 offen. Das Langloch 9 geht dabei von der vorderen Anlagefläche 2 bis zur hinteren Anlagefläche 4 hindurch. Somit kann der Grundkörper 1 und damit das gesamte Modul im Bereich des Langloches 9 auf den Schaft einer Schraube oder dgl. aufgeschoben oder von diesem abgezogen werden.The
Aufgrund der beschriebenen symmetrischen Ausbildung kann dieses Modul in zwei Drehstellungen an einer Barre festgelegt werden, wobei die Drehstellung der Nadeln entsprechend mit geändert wird.Due to the symmetrical design described, this module can be fixed in two rotational positions on a bar, the rotational position of the needles being changed accordingly.
Die in den Figuren 3 bis 5 beschriebene Ausführungsform des neuerungsgemäßen Moduls weist zwei parallele Reihen von Tuftingnadeln 4 auf, die um eine halbe Teilung gegeneinander versetzt sind. Das Modul hat einen Grundkörper 11 mit einer vorderen Anlagefläche 12, einer hinteren Körperfläche 13, einem oberen Rand 14 und einem unteren Rand 15. Im unteren Bereich der vorderen Anlagefläche 12 ist eine Anlageleiste 16 vorgesehen, die mit der vorderen Anlagefläche 12 eine Schulter 17 bildet.The embodiment of the module according to the invention described in FIGS. 3 to 5 has two parallel rows of tufting
Von dem oberen Rand 14 geht mittig ein nach oben offenes Langloch 18 aus.From the upper edge 14 a
Der erwähnte Versatz der beiden bei dieser Ausführungsform vorgesehenen Nadel reihen 18a,20 macht es erforderlich, daß der Grundkörper 11, wie insbesondere die Figuren 3 und 5 verdeutlichen, in einen die hintere Nadel reihe 18a aufnehmenden hinteren Abschnitt 19 normal zu den Nadelachsen versetzt ist gegenüber dem die vordere Nadel reihe 20 aufnehmenden vorderen Abschnitt 21.The mentioned offset of the two rows of needles provided in this

Das Modul gemäß der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 6 bis 8 weicht von der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 3 bis 5 lediglich dadurch ab, daß hier in einem Grundkörper 24 zwei parallele Langlöcher 25 vorgesehen sind, die zum oberen Rand 14 hin offen sind.The module according to the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 8 differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 to 5 only in that here two parallel
Die in den Figuren 9 bis 11 dargestellte Ausführungsform des neuerungsgemäßen Moduls weicht von den zuvor anhand der Figuren 3 bis 8 beschriebenen Ausführungsformen lediglich dadurch ab, daß hier ein Grundkörper 26 vorgesehen ist, der von seinem oberen Rand 14 ausgehende, zu den Seitenrändern 27 durchgehend offene Ausschnitte 28 aufweist. Wenn man nun Module gemäß dieser Ausführungsform aneinander reiht, so ergänzen sich die Ausschnitte 28 dann benachbarter Module zu einem Langloch. Eine durch ein solches Langloch hindurchgeführte Schraube wirkt dann gleichzeitig auf die beiden aneinanderstoßenden Module ein. Dabei wird zweckmäßigerweise jedes Modul an seinen beiden Seitenrändern von einer Schraube gehalten, wobei diese Schraube wiederum gleichzeitig auf zwei benachbarte Module wirkt.The embodiment of the module according to the invention shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 differs from the embodiments previously described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8 only in that a
