Description
WO 2007/001906 PCT/US2006/023473 APPARATUS TO REMOVE ONE INDIVIDUAL HAIR/FIBER AT A TIME FROM A TUFT USING A GRIPPING DEVICE The invention relates to an apparatus for removing one individual hair/fiber at a time from a tuft using a gripping device. The object of the invention is to obtain an apparatus for removing one individual 5 hair/fiber at a time from a tuft using a gripping device, which enables targeted removal of one individual hair/fiber at a time from a tuft with maximum accuracy -meaning with an error rate approaching zero. If by chance the apparatus doesn't collect a single hair/fiber from a tuft, this should also be correspondingly considered by the apparatus according to a sub-object. 10 The object is achieved in that a first gripping element has a wedge-shaped groove oriented towards the second gripping element and a second gripping element has an essentially flat counterpressure zone, wherein the first gripping element is tapered on the side of the wedge-shaped groove (taper A), whereby an individually removed 15 hair/fiber from a tuft is fixated between the wedge-shaped groove and the counterpressure zone. The invention is described in more detail by means of an exemplary embodiment. 20 The following is shown: Fig. 1 shows a perspective representation from above, which is a view of a part of the apparatus; Fig. 2 shows a view from above of the apparatus according to Fig. 1, but with a tuft of hair or fibers between a first and a second gripping element; 25 Fig. 3 shows an enlarged detailed view of Detail III according to Fig. 2; Fig. 4 shows a top view of the first gripping element with a conical tip; Fig. 5 shows a top view of the first gripping element with an oblong, rectangular pyramid tip; Fig. 6 shows a top view of the first gripping element with a quadratic, pyramid tip; 30 Fig. 7 shows a top view of the second gripping element with a counterpressure zone that is arranged transversely with respect to groove length D1-3; WO 2007/001906 PCT/US2006/023473 2 Fig. 8 shows a view from above of the apparatus according to Fig. 2, but with a first and a second shank; Fig. 9 shows a view from above of the apparatus according to Fig. 8, but in a first 5 phase of the removal process for an individual hair/individual fiber; Fig. 10 shows an enlarged representation of the view according to Fig. 9; Fig. 11 shows another enlarged representation of the view according to Fig. 10, but in a phase of removal of an individual hair/individual fiber from a tuft; Fig. 12 shows the representation according to Fig. 11, but in an enlarged view 10 and in a reduced perspective from above; Fig. 13 shows the representation according to Fig. 9, but in an exceptional condition of non-collection of a hair/fiber; Fig. 14 shows the representation according to Fig. 1, but with a rotation-symmetrical disk as a first gripping element and a cylindrical disk as a second gripping 15 element; Fig. 15 shows an enlarged representation of the view of a ring groove of the disk according to Fig. 14; and Fig. 16 shows a cutout similar to Fig. 15 of two half-shells that are combined as mirror images as a disk (Fig. 15). 20 Figs. 1 through 16 show an apparatus 1 to remove one individual hair/fiber 2 at a time from a tuft 3 using a gripping device 4, which has a first and a second opposing gripping element 5, 6. The first gripping element 5 is connected to a first shank 21, and the second gripping element 6 is connected to a second shank 22. The first and the 25 second gripping element 5, 6 and/or the first shank 21 and the second shank 22 are relatively movable with respect to each other and/or can be moved, for example, as if using a set of tweezers. Optionally, either the first or the second gripping element 5, 6 can be arranged at a fixed location so that only one gripping element 5, 6 and/or only one shank 21,22 can be correspondingly precisely moved by, for example, an 30 automatically controlled hydraulic/pneumatic drive (not shown). The first gripping element 5 has a wedge-shaped groove 7 oriented towards the second gripping element 6, wherein the second gripping element 6 has an essentially flat counterpressure zone 8, in order to hold an individual hair/fiber 2 that has been removed from a tuft 3 between the wedge-shaped groove 7 and the counterpressure zone 8 when the first and second 35 gripping element 5, 6 are pressed together (e.g. Fig. 10), and in order to then pull said WO 2007/001906 PCT/US2006/023473 3 hair/fiber from the tuft 3 (automatically). The hair/fiber 2 is then automatically affixed at both ends with a sleeve for additional processing, for example, with a prescribed length, in order to treat and/or test and/or examine it with a corresponding apparatus (not shown). 5 The first gripping element 5 is tapered on the side of the wedge-shaped groove 7 (taper A). The gripping element 5 is thereby precisely routed up to a first position of multiple hairs/fibers 2 through a tuft 3 that is suspended in a fixed position and it then collects, normally with the wedge-shaped groove 7, an individual hair 2 or an individual fiber 2 10 (Fig. 1 and 2). During the gripping process, there is a spring-loaded touch contact between the first gripping element 5 and the second gripping element 6 using a spring device 37, which is arranged in a first and/or second shank 21,22 of the first and/or second gripping element 15 5,6 and consists of a bore hole 38 with a lateral slot 39 (Fig. 1). The wedge-shaped groove 7 has an edge width C of approximately 40 pIm and an alpha angle of approximately 45 degrees (Fig. 3). 20 Taper A of the first gripping element 5 is formed by a pointy cone 31 (Fig. 4). The groove 7 has at least length D1 of a hair/fiber diameter. The average hair diameter is approximately 60 to 80 gm. Taper A of the first gripping element 5 is formed by a rectangular pyramid tip 32 (Figs. 25 5 and 6), wherein a pyramid surface, according to Fig. 5, has an oblong rectangle and groove length D2 and, according to Fig. 6, a quadratic rectangle and groove length D3. Fig. 7 shows the second gripping element 6 with a counterpressure zone 8 arranged transversely with respect to groove length D1-3. 30 Fig. 8 shows a view from above of the apparatus 1 according to Fig. 2, but with a first and a second shank 21, 22. Both gripping elements 5, 6 consist of one current conducting material (metal) and are each connected via a conductor 35, 36, whereby the first and second gripping element 5, 6 communicates with an electric detection device 35 13 to control the collection of an individual hair/fiber 2 from a tuft 3. The first and WO 2007/001906 PCT/US2006/023473 4 second gripping elements 5, 6 are formed as an electric current bridge 14 when they come into mechanical contact B (Fig. 13) with each other, wherein a current flow 15 signals that there is no individual hair/fiber 2 from a tuft 3 between the first and second gripping element 5, 6, and, correspondingly, automatic further processing is possible. 5 Fig. 9 shows a view from above of the apparatus 1 according to Fig. 8, but in a first phase of the removal process for an individual hair/individual fiber. Fig. 10 shows an enlarged representation of the view according to Fig. 9. 10 Fig. 11 shows another enlarged representation of the view according to Fig. 10, but in a phase of removal of an individual hair/individual fiber 2 from a tuft 3. Fig. 12 shows the representation according to Fig. 11, but in an enlarged view and in a 15 reduced perspective from above. Fig. 13 shows the representation according to Fig. 9, but in an exceptional status of non-collection of a hair/fiber 2, which is detected by the detection device 13 (Fig. 8). 20 According to Figs. 14 through 16, the first gripping element 5 is designed as a rotation symmetrical disk 9, wherein the wedge-shaped groove 7 is designed as a peripheral ring groove 10 with a chamfer 33 on each side (Figs. 15 and 16) as taper A. The second gripping element 6 is a cylindrical disk 11, wherein the peripheral ring groove 10 and a surface 12 of the cylindrical disk 11 communicate with one another. The rotation 25 symmetrical disk 9 consists of two similar, rotation-symmetrical half-shells 34, whereby a ring groove 10 with an edge width C of approx. 40 pm can be produced.
