Abstract

319,773. Schleifer, C. Sept. 29, 1928, [Convention date]. Combing-machines.-In a feeding device for a combing-machine of the Schliefer type, as described in Specifications 118,833 and 163,332, and in which the sliver is held by a reciprocating flat comb, the comb is arranged below the feed duct so as to pass upward into the fibres, that is in a direction opposite to the detaching movement of the grippers whereby during the detaching movement the needles are forced more deeply into the fibres, the front row of needles serving as a fixed comb to delimit the detaching zone. The upper member 6, Fig. 1, of the feed duct is pivoted in open bearings 5<1> on the side walls 5<11> of the lower member 5. The flat comb 9 is mounted on a plate 8 below the member 5. The duct is operated by a cam 10<111> and lever 10, and the comb 9 by a cam 12<111>, lever 12, and link 13. The plate 8 is provided with pins 8<1> which slide through sleeves 5<111> in the side walls 5<11>. The upper part of the duct is formed as a movable cover, which can be lifted to facilitate the introduction of the sliver. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also a Heilmann type, machine wherein the duct 5, 6, Fig. 3 (Cancelled) and comb 9 are mounted inside the nipper jaws 2, 3. The jaws are shaped to the arc of a circle and are swung about a pivot 16 by a cam 18, to a position touching the combing segment 17. The pins on the top comb 21 are staggered with reference to the front row of pins 9<1> on the comb 9. This subject matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
