[0001] It is known that textile material coming out from the intersecting (combing line
end-machine) in the form of tape can be pressed in packs having a substantial cylindrical
development, generally indicated by the term "bumps"; these packs are stabilized,
in the pressed state and before being abandoned by the active members of the press,
by means of.ties performed with nylon straps or string, or other which engage annularly
the pressed mass mostly with lengths parallel to the axis and lengths extending on
the bottoms, that is, on the bases of the geometric figure of the cylindrical mass
according to chords more or less remote from the geometric center of said bases. Usually
six ties are provided which define on the bases a star-like pattern (David star),
as it is shown in Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing. The ties, in fact, are presently
formed mostly in pairs which define on each base two parallel and opposite chords;
in the central zone of each base a substantially hexagonal surface is located, being
relatively large and lacking in ties, thereby the material in such zones is tending
to swell by making difficult the stability of the pressed packs which are stored upright
in overlapped arrangement.
[0002] The pack according to the Model eliminates these storage drawbacks besides reducing
the packaging costs and in particular those of the pack tying.
[0003] Substantially, according to the Model, the pack of pressed textile material (bump),
having a substantially cylindrical development with annular ties of nylon strap, string,
or of other equivalent tying material, is characterized by the fact that said annular
ties have substantially diametral orientation on the bottoms, that is, on the bases
of the pack, the same pack being surrounded approximately along the largest sections.
[0004] In practice, three ties may be provided roughly lying on planes spaced apart from
each other of 60°.
[0005] In the drawing:
Fig. 1 shows - as above mentioned - the tying arrangement respectively the pressing
plane to carry out this tying, in the traditional packs;
Fig. 2 shows, similarly, the pressing plane respectively the tying arrangement on
the bottoms, that is, on the bases of the pack, in a pack according to the Model;
Fig. 3 shows a demonstrative section of a pressing plane.
[0006] According to what is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, it can be seen in Fig.
1 that a tie is tradition ally made up of three pairs of "launches" of strap or other
A, A; B, B; C, C which define a "David star-like" pattern on the pack bottoms and
respectively, on the pressing planes being furrowed by guide channels for straps or
other tying filiform elements. Substantially, there are six annular ties in planes
which are parallel to and spaced apart from the axis of the cylindrical mass of the
cylindrically pressed pack. In the central zone of the bases there is a shortage of
ties and a tendency of the material to swell, although six ties are present.
[0007] In Fig. 2 a tie is shown according to the Model, which is only threefold instead
of sixfold, the three ties lying on diametral planes and the ties meeting about in
the bases center. The ties lie on three diametral planes being angularly equidistant
between them.
[0008] By this arrangement a pack of pressed textile material is obtained which, firstly,
is more economical since it is performed with only three ties on about diametral planes
spaced apart of 60° and, secondarily, permits to obtain a greater regularity on the
bottoms, that is, on the bases of the cylindrical masses of the pressed packs. It
will be appreciated, in fact, that no bulges are formed in the pack central parts.
In some cases, periferical limited bulges may occur which, anyhow, are uniformly distributed
and therefore do not impair the stability of superimposed bales or packs upon stowing
for storage and transfer.
1) A pack for pressed textile material (bumps) having substantially cylindrical development
with annular ties of nylon strap, string, or other equivalent tying material, characterized
by the fact that said annular ties have substantially diametral orientation on the
bottoms, that is, on the pack bases, surrounding the same pack approximately along
the largest sections.
