WoUNn PACKAGE.

sary to make a quill of, very great diameter in comparison to the thickness or wrappings of the filaments around it and it has been also necessary to only put a very thin layer of said wrappings around the quill. Otherwise when the wound quill was in use in thel loom, owing to the nature of the metal filainent which is smooth, liardand also very heavy, the whole wound mass would have a tendency to slide off the end of the quill as the shuttle was thrown back and for-th in the loom. Therefore, owing to the relatively small amount of filling which can be wound on a quill of this character in comparison with what is wound on a quill when using other materials, such as cotton, silk, etc.,

the production of the metal filled cloth was' very slow and expensive this being due Ato the vast number of quills a weaver would have to put in his shuttles during a day, making' it necessary to stop the loom every time a new quill was inserted into the shuttle.

The object of my invention is to produce a wound package in which the quill is'of non-circular or irregular cross section along its winding portion and preferably provided with one or more pronounced edges whereby the metal filament winding will be made to cling to the quill, thus rendering it possible to wind to a far greater thickness than was possible heretofore, without danger of the windings shelling off tliequill and also materially increasing the length of time that a quill will last when weaving'in the loom and thus relatively increasing the production.

By my improvement I have found that the thickness of the wrappings on the quill can be more than double the diameter of the empty quill, the edge or edges caused by the irregular shape of the quill along the winding portion thereof serving to grip the metal tightly and distinctly bend it. The metal filament between the edges is wound comparatively loose so that the outer layers have a tendency to sink into the folds of the inner layersat these loose points, thus causing the interlocking of the layers and Vpreventing thewindings from shelling off the quill. This type of winding will not hinder the drawing ofi' of the filament as it is Ymore or less stiff and has a tendency tofunwind or spring away from the quill which causes it toiform a 'wide arc around the quill so `that, it will not catch in any of the edges:

which would be the case if the wrappings were ofa differentnature.

The taper or thickness' of the quill is not materially important as the wrappings may be wound on and drawn off quills ofgreatly varying thicknesses and tapers.V

The quill which forms a part ofthe wound package may be made in many different forms in cross section.y Several of these forms are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Fig. 1 represents a side elevation of a wound package, the quill of which is secured in Vcross section along its winding por- Y tion. Y v

Fig. 2 represents a cross section taken in the plane of theline 'l1-II of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 vrepresents a sidevelevation of a wound package, lthe quillof which is triangular in cross section. c w

Fig. 4 represents ak cross section taken` in the plane of the line V-V of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 .represents a side elevation of a wound package, the quill of which is provided with four spiral grooves Valong its winding portion.

Fig. 6 represents a cross section taken in the plane of the line VI#VI of Fig. 1n Figs. 1 and 2 the winding portion of the quill is denoted by 1, the headed end by 2 and the non-headed end by 3. The traverse wound metal filament is denoted by 4. In this particular form of wound package the lwinding portion of the quill is square in vcross section. The four sides 5, 6, 7, 8 lforming between them four pronounced edges or corners 9, 10, 11, 12.

In Figs. 3 and 4 the winding portion of the quill is denoted by 13, the headed end by 14 and the non-headed end by 15. yThe winding portion of the quill is triangular in cross section in this particular form of vwound package. The three sides 16,117, 18Y forming between them pronounced edges'or corners 19, 20, 21. In/Figs. 5 and the winding portion of the quill is denoted by 22, the headed end by 23 and the non-headed the edges so as to permit the interlocking of thev several layers of the windings and thus prevent the shelling oft" of the coils `from the end of' the quill and thus destroy the further usefulness thereof.

The provision of these edges also permit the traverse winding oi an interlocked mass of the metal filament on the quill, such mass having a substantial thickness between its* ends as compared to the diameter of the quill in the corresponding cross sectional plane'.

It is evident that the edges or corners formed along the winding portion of the quill, which forms a part of the wound package may be sharp or blunt as the case may be, and that the body of the quill when viewed in cross section along its winding portion may assume many different shapes between such edges or corners so long as the metal filament windings will be caused to become interlocked and thus permit a substantial thickness of the traverse wound material to be retained on the quill, the same not being dependent upon the size or the diameter of the quill, the invention being as applicable to quills of' small diameter as to quills of large diameter.

What I claim is l. A metal filament wound shuttle package comprising a quill multi-sided in cross section along its winding portion and a traverse of the metal filacomprising a quill square'in cross sectiony along its winding portionand a traverse wound interlocked mass of tlie metal filament thereon. f

4. A metal filamentwouiid shuttle package comprising a quill multi-sided in cross section along'its winding 'portion andra traversev wound interlocked mass of the nietal filament thereon, the said mass' having asubstantial thickness between its ends as compared to the diameter of the quillV in the corresponding cross sectional plane.

5.l A' metal filament wound'shuttle package comprising a quill rectangular in cross sec. tion along its winding portion and a traverse wound interlocked ,mass of the metal filai ment thereon, the said mass having a substantial thickness between its ends as'compared to the diameterof the quill in the corresponding cross sectional plane. v

6. A metal filament wound shuttle package comprising a quill square in cross section alongfit's winding portion' and a traverse wound interlocked mass Vof the metal filament thereon, the said mass having a substantial'thickness between its ends as compared to thev diameter of the quill in the corresponding cross sectional plane.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my naine this 5thr day of June, 1923.
