Anchoring apparatus for thread winding and spin coating on a rod

Abstract

An anchoring apparatus for thread winding and spin coating on a rod located on one end of a rack includes an anchor dock, adjusting docks and a winding dock. The adjusting dock has a L-shaped member which includes adjusting rollers on the inner side and a movable roller on the one end to form an adjustment roller set. The rod may be rested on the adjustment roller set with the end of the hand grip end gripped by the anchor dock which can adjust the center position of the rod and has a speed adjusting device and a motor fastened to an outer side. Depending on the size of the diameter of stem of the rod, the movable block may be moved upwards or downwards to adjust the adjusting rollers and to couple with the movable roller to reach a desired anchor position for the rod. Thus the rod is positioned and anchored on three points. The winding dock may be moved to a desired location on the guiding rail outside the rack to facilitate operation.

1 . An anchoring apparatus for thread winding and spin coating on a rod, comprising: 
 a rack having a bottom plate bent on two sides to form flanging edges, one of the flanging edges being extended outwards to form a guiding rail which has a jutting rim;    an anchor dock located on one end of the rack having a seat which has an opening in the center to house an axle for fastening to a transmission wheel of a transmission mechanism, the axle having another end forming a screw thread section to couple with a chuck and a nut which integrates with a wrench, the nut being rotatable about and longitudinally movable along the axle upon the screw thread to secure and release the chuck;    adjusting docks mounted on the rack each having a L-shaped member which has a U-shaped notch on an upper section, and an adjusting member located on a lower section that has two flanges extending upwards from a front side and a rear side and a notch formed in the center of the flanges, the U-shaped notch having an adjustment roller set which includes a pair of adjusting rollers and a movable roller; and    a winding dock located on the guiding rail including a board which has a surface with posts mounting on an outer side thereof to hold thread barrels, a guiding post on the middle of an inner side of the surface and threading posts located diagonally on the left and the right side thereof, and a wheel on the bottom of an inner side of the board that has an annular groove in the center to couple with the jutting rim of the guiding rail located on the outer side of the rack, the threading posts having respectively a threading hole;    wherein the rod is held and anchored at three points by the anchor dock and is positioned horizontally on a same straight line to be rotated evenly by the transmission mechanism at the rotation speed of the transmission mechanism for winding threads and coating glue in a uniform manner.    
   
   
       2 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the chuck includes an anchor disk at a front end, and a rear half section which includes a movable ring engaging with a coupling disk, the anchor disk having an opening in the center and three elongated notches on the periphery to couple respectively with a latch jaw, each of the elongated notches having a rear end on two sides thereof extended to form a guiding boss, the coupling disk and the movable ring having respectively an opening to receive another end of the axle, the periphery of the movable ring having three arched slots, the latch jaw having one end extended to form a strut to engage with the arched slot and two sides extended to form fingers wedged in the guiding boss, and a pad located on an inner side thereof and extended outside the elongated notches.  
   
   
       3 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the transmission mechanism is fastened to one side end of the rack through a board and includes a speed adjusting device and a motor that have respectively a transmission shaft and a motor shaft passing through a hole located respectively on the left side and the right side of a lower left end of the board, the transmission shaft and the motor shaft being coupled with the transmission wheel on the anchor dock through a belt.  
   
   
       4 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the axle has one end forming a cavity to engage with the spindle of the transmission wheel, the cavity having a screw hole.  
   
   
       5 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the L-shaped member has a movable block located in the center of one side thereof and extended to the U-shaped notch and being adjustable on elevation, the movable block having a top section which is coupled with the two adjusting rollers on the left side and the right side of the top section in a diagonal manner, each of the adjusting rollers being coupled with a bearing in the center.  
   
   
       6 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the L-shaped member has a top section which has collars located on an upper side and a lower side for engaging with a connection member and a spring, the movable roller being coupled with a bearing in the center to receive a screw for fastening the movable roller to an aperture on another end of the connection member, the connection member having a hook on an outer side to engage with one end of the spring.  
   
   
       7 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the rack includes two pieces or more than two pieces connecting by a connection plate or a convex wedge member.  
   
   
       8 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the chuck includes an anchor disk and at least three latch jaws at a front end, and a rear half section including a movable ring engaging with a coupling disk, the latch jaws are movably connected to the anchor disk, the anchor disk has an opening in the center to receive the axle, the coupling disk and the movable ring each have an opening to receive the axle.  
   
   
       9 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the anchor disk has three elongated notches on the periphery to couple with each latch jaw.  
   
   
       10 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein each of the elongated notches has a rear end on two sides thereof extended to form a guiding boss, each of the latch jaw having two sides extended to form fingers wedged in the guiding boss.  
   
   
       11 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein each of the latch jaws has a pad located on an inner side thereof and extended outside the elongated notches.  
   
   
       12 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the periphery of the movable ring has three arched slots, each of the latch jaws has one end extended to form a strut to engage with the arched slot respectively.  
   
   
       13 . The anchoring apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the anchor dock further includes a C-shaped clip disposed between the nut and the chuck.
