DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a textile machinery. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to devices and methods for inserting ring travellers onto spinning or twisting rings.
BACKGROUND
Traveller plays an important role in the spinning or twisting machinery industry and it is mounted on ring and is dragged round by the yarn. During its rotational movement on ring, it imparts twist on yarn.
Many unconventional method leads to deformation of ring traveller and danger of damage to the ring surface. As both the factors cause low production and more idle time of machine.
US4575933 – Apparatus for placing or Mounting ring travelers on spinning or Twisting rings. But this prior art has a disadvantage that depending upon the person the load varies in the tool and due to pulling mechanism traveler deformation will happen and also traveler flies out of the ring.
It is the case when the deformation of ring traveller occurs, which leads to higher breakage rate of ring traveller and frequency of changing ring traveller leads to increase the idle time of machinery and reduce the output of a machinery.
It is another aspect that the idle time leads to lower output as the time of machinery to run to reach a production target did not meet and hence it leads to loss, as the work efficient ratio did not meet the required level.
It is the case when damaging the surface of the spinning ring surface, which leads to increase in turbulence and create hinderance in rotation of traveller ring and leads to fly off traveler ring and again frequency of changing traveller ring increase and leads to high idle time of machinery and low production output.
It is another aspect that it requires more time and manpower to insert ring traveller on spinning traveller ring.
Disadvantages of known invention are irregular load on insertion ring traveller and depends upon the person the load varies in the tool, due to pulling mechanism traveler deformation will happen and also traveler flies out of the ring when traveller ring didn’t sit properly on spinning ring or damages due to deformation.
Therefore, there is a need for an alternative device/ technology to overcome the limitations of the traditional available technology.
