Loading arrangement for a spin-knit machine

Abstract

A loading arrangement for a spin-knit machine includes a loading device that is movable at least with one part along at least one preset or presettable path and that is configured for loading the spin-knit machine with full roving bobbins.

1 . A loading arrangement for a spin-knit machine, comprising:
 a loading device that is movable at least with one part along at least one preset or presettable path;   wherein the loading device is configured for loading the spin-knit machine with full roving bobbins.   
     
     
         2 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 1 , further comprising a guide device;
 wherein the loading device is movable at a level of a drafting arrangement of the spin-knit machine at least along a region of the guide device.   
     
     
         3 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the loading device has a gripper.

         6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the loading device has a storage means for full roving bobbins, empty roving bobbins, or both. 
     
     
         8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 1 , further comprising a control device to control the loading device. 
     
     
         10 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 2 , further comprising a storage space for storing roving bobbins, wherein the storage space can be approached by the loading device or a part thereof along the guide device. 
     
     
         11 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 1 , further comprising a transport device for loading the storage space with full roving bobbins. 
     
     
         12 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 2 , wherein the guide device encloses at least one spin-knit machine at least in sections over a periphery. 
     
     
         13 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 1 , comprising multiple loading devices that are respectively associated with at least one drafting arrangement of the spin-knit machine. 
     
     
         14 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 2 , wherein multiple spin-knit machines are enclosed by the guide device at least in sections over a periphery. 
     
     
         15 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 1 , comprising at least two loading devices, wherein one of the at least two loading devices is configured to transfer a roving bobbin to the other of the two loading device. 
     
     
         16 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 2 , wherein multiple spin-knit machines are respectively assigned at least one guide device and the loading devices are configured to transfer roving bobbins from one loading device of a first guide device to a loading device of a second guide device. 
     
     
         17 . The loading arrangement according to  claim 5 , wherein the sliver sensor of the spin-knit machine is connected via signalling technology to the control device. 
     
     
         18 . A spin-knit machine with a loading arrangement, the loading arrangement comprising:
 a loading device that is movable at least with one part along at least one preset or presettable path;   wherein the loading device is configured for loading the spin-knit machine with full roving bobbins.   
     
     
         19 . (canceled) 
     
     
         20 . A process for loading a spin-knit machine with a roving, wherein a roving end is fed by machine to a sliver sensor of the spin-knit machine, a drafting arrangement of the spin-knit machine, or both. 
     
     
         21 . The process according to  claim 20 , wherein the roving end is grasped by a gripper of the loading device and fed to the sliver sensor of the spin-knit machine, the drafting arrangement ( 9 ) of the spin-knit machine, or both. 
     
     
         22 . The process according to  claim 20 , wherein the sliver sensor detects the end of a roving and emits a corresponding signal, after which a loading device or a part thereof is moved to the drafting arrangement associated with the sliver sensor in an automated manner and exchanges an empty roving bobbin for a full roving bobbin. 
     
     
         23 . (canceled) 
     
     
         24 . The process according to  claim 20 , wherein after a change of the roving bobbin the roving end is grasped by the gripper of the loading device and is fed to the sliver sensor of the spin-knit machine, the drafting arrangement of the spin-knit machine, or both. 
     
     
         25 . The process according to  claim 20 , wherein the drafting arrangement, on which a roving bobbin has been changed, is enabled for knitting after the roving bobbin change by the loading device.
