Abstract
The invention provides an interlacing air nozzle for increasing the airtightness thereof, wherein the dual-leverage principle thereof enables front and rear top members to simultaneously move up and down, and the front top member is also capable of pressing horizontally downward without abrading the structure as a whole. The main body of the invention includes a front top member, a rear top member, a connection piece, a base, a front base, a sliding member and an airtight washer member. The airtight washer member that is flexible using a spring is provided within the front top member, and the up-and-down movements thereof are employed for horizontally pressing the sliding member having an air inlet and a yarning groove above, thereby increasing the airtightness and practical values thereof.
Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




(a) Field of the Invention




The invention relates to an interlacing air nozzle, and more particularly, to a interlacing air nozzle that increase the airtightness of the yarn groove thereof, thereby evenly interlacing the yarn thereof without affecting the interlacing air nozzle with abrasion as a whole.




(b) Description of the Prior Art




Referring to

FIG. 1

showing a conventional elevational view of a prior art for interlacing yarn; wherein a threading slot


11


having an opening at the top thereof is provided at the center of a blow pipe


1


, and at the bottom center of the threading slot


11


of the blow pipe


1


is provided with an air inlet


13


in communication with a joint


12


; a yarn


2


is placed into the threading slot


11


for interacting with the air inlet


13


, such that airflow discharged from the threading slot


11


passes through the air inlet


13


and interlaces the yarn


2


. However, such prior art has a defective design that causes environmental pollution and production cost wastage caused by the airflow discharged upward (as indicated by the arrow pointing upward

FIG. 1

) from the totally open blow pipe


1


when interlacing the yarn


2


. In addition, airtightness of such prior art is unsatisfactory that the yarn


2


is weft unevenly with a poor quality.




Referring to

FIGS. 2

,


3


and


4


showing a conventional elevational view, a side view and an enlarged sectional view of another prior art interlacing the yarn


2


when opened and closed, respectively, a main body


3


therein comprises a top member


31


capable of up-and-down lifting and covering, and at the rear of the top member


31


is provided with an axis


311


connected with a base


35


. The front bottom relative to the axis


311


is further provided with a tappet


312


. On the base


35


is disposed with a sliding member


33


capable of sliding back and forth further provided with a sealing cover


32


for pressing against a groove A


331


. At the rear top of the sliding member


33


is disposed with a groove B


322


for interacting with the tappet


312


. In order to place the yarn


2


for interlacing, at the center of the sliding member


33


is disposed with a groove


331


A further provided with an air inlet


333


at the center bottom thereof. At the bottom of the base is provided with a joint


34


in communication with the air inlet


333


for conducting injected airflow, and at the interior of the joint


34


is an air outlet


341


. When the top member


31


moves up and down, the sliding member


33


displaces back and forth using the tappet


312


for placing the yarn


2


. Moreover, the sliding groove bottom surface


335


of the sliding member


33


is abraded due to the sliding groove


334


provided at the bottom of the sliding member


33


, as indicated by the abraded plane


336


in FIG.


4


. When the sliding groove


334


is abraded and pressure is added at the jet air outlet


341


, air leakage that causes unstable jet airflow is resulted (as indicated by the arrow in FIG.


4


), thus bringing about uneven weaving and poor quality of yarn. Consequently, fabrics weaved from the yarn


2


are undesirable in quality and offers inadequate competitiveness. The aforesaid shortcomings have long since bothered industrialists and consumers, and therefore, it is a prime task to provide an interlacing air nozzle that maximizes the efficiency and practical values thereof.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




An object of the invention is to provide an interlacing air nozzle, wherein the angle difference produced from closing a front top member thereof is capable of increasing tightness, and the dual-leverage principle thereof is utilized for simultaneously moving the front and rear top members up and down such that the front top member is horizontally pressed downward without wearing or abrading the structure as a whole.




The described technical shortcoming of the prior art is mainly due to the abrasion of the sliding member thereof, and uneven interlacing of the yarn resulted from an air leakage caused by the unsatisfactory tightness when covered during processing. For solving the problem, the invention provides a technical method, wherein parallel lug shoulders having twin peaks are provided at the top of the base, the front and rear lugs thereof are provided with a connection piece that connects the front and rear lugs and the bottom portions of the rear and front top members for forming a dual lever. In addition, the front top member is provided with a flexible spring and an airtight washer member, such that the airtight washer member is fixed at a sliding member disposed at the top of the front base for moving up and down and horizontally pressing downward.




The angle difference produced from closing the structure according to the invention increases the tightness thereof, the dual-leverage principle thereof enables the front and rear top members to simultaneously move up and down while the structure as a whole is also capable of horizontally pressing downward. The airtight washer member is able to move and up and down without abrading the structure, and the spring adds further airtightness to the airtight washer member.

in sequence using an axis D, and the axis


421


is further provided with a compression spring


424


for pressing the airtight washer member


44


downward. At the front of the base


43


is provided with a front base


461


further provided with an airtight washer


462


that secures the sliding member


45


at the top thereof by means of a screw. The sliding member


45


is situated relatively below the airtight washer member


44


and is provided with an air inlet


452


and a yarn groove


451


at the center thereof for sliding and interlacing the yarn


2


.




Referring to

FIGS. 7

,


8


and


9


showing an elevational view when opened, an sectional view when opened, and a sectional view when closed in accordance with the invention, respectively, a dual-leverage structure is formed by the front top member


42


, the rear top member


41


, the connection piece


423


and the parallel lug shoulders


431


having twin peaks, and therefore the front and rear top members


42


and


41


are able to simultaneously move up and down. To have the front top member


42


horizontally pressed downward, only the rear top member


41


from the front and rear top members


42


and


41


in a V-shaped arrangement need to be pressed downward. An angle difference produced from closing (as the angle Q indicated in

FIG. 9

) increases the tightness thereof, such that the front top member


42


cannot be opened while also horizontally pressing downward, and consequently the airtightness as whole is raised. In addition, up-and-down movements of the airtight washer member


44


are accomplished through the axis


421


, and therefore the fixed sliding member situated below helps preventing the sliding member from being abraded as well as leakage. The yarn


2


is enveloped tightly within the yarn groove


451


to have the air inlet


452


evenly interlace the yarn


2


, and the airtight washer member


44


moves up and down for adjustment by pressing downward. To open the front top cover


42


, only the rear top member


41


needs to be triggered upward (as shown in FIG.


9


), then the front top member


42


impels the rear top member upward simultaneously due to the dual-leverage principle thereof, and the yarn may be drawn out from the yarn groove


451


at the top of the sliding member


45


.




It is of course to be understood that the embodiment described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
