Improved machine for combing wool and other fibers.

Patented in the German Empire on July 20, 1877.

The invention aims in a number of nobility or other circular combs to use so-called combs, which move in a circle and so attached that they are at one, the circle, or the feeding end of the inner or smaller the point closest to the circular comb, thus pressing down the fibers, which pass from the outer circular crest into the inner circular crest, so that the noils remain behind the comb and the pure fibers through the discharge roller come off in the usual way.

For this purpose, a circle is attached to the inner circular comb, in which a number of guide rods are attached in a circle. The latter are on the lower end provided with lugs for holding the segment combs; each segment crest moves up two such guide rods up and down. The pins, needles of the combs are fastened in blocks, which form a circle, but move up and down independently of each other can. At the top of the blocks there are side pieces in which pegs are attached are mounted on a frame of the circle of the inner circular comb move inclined plane; above the same is a guide piece, which is attached to lugs that are crooked on the Are bolted to the level. This guide piece is over at the fall point of the segment combs attached to the inclined plane, which prevents them from going up. The segment crests are movable up and down and when they are at the closest points of the Circle or the feed end, lowered into the small circle comb, taking them press on the fibers, which temporarily move at the same height at this point, until they disappear through the exhaust rollers and only leave the noils in the small, inner circular comb, which then removed in the usual manner. When the fibers have passed the exhaust rollers, so the segment combs begin to rise on the inclined plane and move them downwards until the pegs attached to the blocks of the segment combs inclined plane and come under the upper guide, whereupon they gradually go down until they come into contact with a spring which keeps the segment combs depressed. The spring is attached to a lug which is attached over the inner circle comb. The fibers are prevented by discs, over the outer, like inner circle-comb too reach; these disks rotate within the needles of the outer ridge and press open the fibers (but attached knives can also be used). The discs are in attached to a bearing, which is attached by the over the small inner circle comb Approach is borne. At the same approach there is also a lever with a curved one Protective device which also prevents the fibers from going over the circles of the Combs fall; in this way the dab brushes are eliminated. On the side and in the A rotating brush is attached near the upper end to close the segment combs clean.

To make the improvements easier to understand, they are described in the following be described in more detail. In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 represents the Cross-section, FIG. 2 the front view and FIG. 3 the outline of the segment comb Figure 10 shows the side view of guides in which the segment crests move rather than in Guide rods. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 6 shows the view of another Type of guide rods with segment comb blocks; Fig. 7 is the outline of the same. The same Letters mean the same parts in all the figures.

On the inner side of the circular comb A , a circle B is attached, in which a row of guide rods C , which are provided with the lugs D , is attached. These offer for. the segment combs E, which work on the guide rods C , a stop.

The pins F of the combs E are fixed in the blocks G , which form a circle, each of which, however, consists of itself and moves from top to bottom and in the opposite direction. On the upper part of the blocks C pegs H are attached, which on. run on an inclined plane T ; the latter is supported by the supports / on the flange plate K

of the steam container L are attached. Above the inclined plane; T a guide M is attached, which is attached to the lugs N, which are bolted to the inclined plane 'T'. This guide is attached i at the point where the segment combs E fall down on the inclined plane, the pins H holds on the inclined plane and prevents the ridges DAF lift. The segment combs move up and down, and when they come closest to the circle or the feed end P , the pins F of the segment combs are pressed down into the pins Q of the small circular comb A , so that the fiber mass and so the dab brushes are superfluous. The segment crests and fibers, after having passed the lowest point or the feeding end, move in a horizontal plane until they reach point R; here the ridges begin to rise, in that the pegs H come into contact with the rising part S of the inclined plane J; the fibers now pass through the discharge rollers in the usual way, while the noils remain in the small, inner, circular comb A until they are removed by the known means. The segment ridges go up with the pins that follow the upward slope of 5 and continue to move until the pins come to the downward sloping plane J and the upper guide M , whereupon they slowly lower again until the flanges T of the Segment combs comes into contact with a spring U and presses down the segment comb. The spring is attached to an arm V which is attached to the chair W of the inner circular comb. . ■

The fibers are prevented by the rotary disk Z from getting over the outer edge of the circular comb Y and the small inner comb A. These disks move within the pins A ^{l of} the comb Y, and press against the fibers (but attached knives can also be used); they are mounted on a pin B ¹ which is held in a hub C ¹ which is attached to the plate Z? ¹ is established; the latter is provided with an incision ii 'in order to be able to regulate the position of the discs. The plate D 'is fastened in the sliding channel F ^{1 of} the arm V , to which an arm G ¹ with a safety knife JI ^{1 is also} attached, which prevents the fibers from going over the edge of the combs Y and A. On the side and in the vicinity of the guide rods C rotating brushes for cleaning the segment combs are attached.

Figures 4 and 5 show guides which are to be used instead of the guide rod C ; in this case the blocks G of the segment combs are rounded on the side (T'J. These convex rounded sides move in the concave grooves in the guides _ / '; the latter are attached to the incised circle B. The piece K ¹ , which is attached to the guide / 'and thus prevents it from being brought out of its correct position, fits into this incision . At the upper end of the guides there are side pieces L ⁱ , to which a ring M ^{1 is} screwed. by which the guides are also held in place; the segment combs can easily be lifted out and reinserted by leaving the guides open at the top, the lower end of which is provided with a flange N which retains the segment comb.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, guide rods O 'can also be used, one of which is located between two segment blocks, instead of two guide rods being attached to each segment block. The guide rods are made without a shoulder to hold, and the lower parts P ^{1 of} the segment comb blocks are elongated and abut the circle B in which the guide rods are attached; these blocks are also shortened at the top.

The inventors note that they do not necessarily follow the exact ones in the drawing The details shown and described are binding as the same, without affecting the nature of the invention deviate, can be changed and define the claims as follows:

Claims (2)

Patent Claims: 1. The general facility, construction and Use of segment-shaped combs that move in a circle and are so attached that they are at one of the circle or feed end of the inner or smaller circular ridge falling points closest to it, like it is described above and illustrated in the accompanying drawings. 2. The method and device, the falling of the segment comb on the, the Points closest to circles, so that those of the outer circle are circular Comb pressed down fibers entering the inner circular comb . which eliminates the need for the dab brushes, as described above and in the accompanying drawing is shown. For this purpose I sheet drawings.
