Definitions

  • CARL SCHLATTER OF WEBSTER, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO S. SLATER &
  • This invention relates to a hydraulic calender for use in textile plants.
  • the principal objects of the invention are to provide means for automatically relieving the pressure on the calender rolls when they are about to receive between them a zone of more than normal thickness or hardness in the cloth and at the same time to still supply enough pressure so that the cloth will eontinue to be driven frictionally and there will he no chance for it to stop or for the cylinders to suddenly grip the cloth and ruin it.
  • the bottom calender roll ordinarily is mounted to run evenly in its hearings and to be rotated by the friction of the cloth between it and the top roll which is positively driven.
  • the bottom roll is subjected to hydraulic pressure of a sufficiently high degree to calender the cloth properly. Whenever two lengths of cloth are sewn together, the result would be the injury of the cloth if it were allowed to go through an ordinary pair of calender rolls. On the other hand, if the pressure were relieved from the bottom roll and this roll allowed to drop away from the upper one, it would of course no longer be rotated by friction and the cloth would stop. Then when brought back into contactwith the cloth. it would make a deep mark throughout the width of the roll.
  • the cloth would receive an imprint from the hard spot which would be printed back on the cloth as projections at a distance apart equal to the circumference of the roll.
  • these calenders have to run merely during the passage of one cut of cloth and then have to be adjusted and another cut of cloth put in. on account of the above mentioned difficulties.
  • This invention is designed to relieve the lower roll so that it will not be. injured by the cloth as it goes through where sewed and yet allow it to continue to run under enough yielding pressure to carry the cloth through and keep the bottom roll running. Also the device is so arranged that it will continue to leave the bottom roll under its reduced pressure a longer or shorter time according to the distance along the goods in which the increased thickness occurs and then the pressure will be restored automatically. It is to be understood that the operation is automatic and takes place before the hard or thick spot enters the calender rolls and the full pressure 011 the rolls is restored as soon as such spot has passed between them.
  • This action of course is designed'to permit of sewed lengths of fabric to pass through the calenders continuously but it will act in any case where a thick or hard portion is encountered in the fabric.
  • Another important object of the invention is to avoid the breakage or damage of themachines by the passage through the rolls of any obstruction which may he in or on the cloth.
  • the invention involves other improvements in details of construction and combinations of parts as will appear.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one end of a pair of calender rolls with a preferred embodiment of this invention applied thereto;
  • Fig. 2 is an endview on enlarged scale indicating the calender rolls and means for detecting the thick or hard spots in the cloth;
  • Fig. 3 is an elevation of the same with the calender rolls omitted and showing in sec tion the contact operated by the indicating device;
  • Fig. 4 is a plan of the same
  • Fig. 5 is a side view of the solenoid for operating the controlling valves and its associated parts
  • Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the control ling valves operated by the mechanism shown in Fig. 5;
  • Fig. 7 is a view of the piping
  • Fig. 8 is a wiring diagram
  • Fig. 9 is a View similar to Fig. 2 showing a modification.
  • This invention is adapted to be applied to a calender comprising an upper roll 10 which is mounted in fixed bearings, and a lower roll 11 which is mounted in open top bean ings 12 carried at the top of a pair of hydraulic rams 13.
  • the rams are supplied with water under pressure to hold the lower roll up against the upper roll, or rather the cloth passing between them, and the result is a practically rigid construction. If a piece of cloth goes through with a hard lump in it or the like, the rolls are forced to yield, and then they come back against each other with a hard blow which produces a Ill flat place on the roll and makes the cloth unsuitable for sale. On account of this detect it is impossible to sew cutsof cloth together end to end and put them continuously through the calender because the stitches furnish hard spots of this character, and the cloth is two thicknesses thick and the result is the injury ofthe goods.
  • This invention is designed therefore large 7 iv to permit of the sewing of cuts together end toend and putting, them through the calender continuously, thus avo ding the stoppage of the machine and the waste of time necessary in threading a new piece through for every Cllt OfClOfll.
  • the inventiolr also. has other advantages as will appear. y
  • levers 18 is connected to an arm 21 which is adjustahly connected with a vertical rod 22 and secured in position by a pair of nuts or in any other desiredwvay.
  • Thisrod 22 extends vertically down through a frame 23 mounted on the side of the frame Blot the machine. It connected with a plate 25 .which is' perforated to receive a guide pin 26 located in stationary position and is capable of moving up and down.
  • connection 30 iselectrically insulated from the plate 25' but has a metallic stud which. upon being raised. forms an electrical cqnlactwith a connection 31 adjustably carried by a vertical'rod which is mounted on'the angle 23 and is provided with a not for adj isting it;
  • valves cometo their seats when closed and ati'that time render the respective pivots 35 or 236 stationary tor the time being.
  • valve 35 is raised and the valve 40 is closed.
  • the valve 3! is held closed yieldingly by a spring acting on the valve through a lever and link 52.
  • the valve 1'0 is similarly held to its seat by a weaker spring 53 connected to a lever
  • the water from the pump comes in to the two hydraulic rams from a pipe ll, through a passage 4-2 which has a seat at: the top for the valve 40, and through pipe -13 to the ram.
  • the valve 39 is closed and the valve it) open. Now when the action just. described takes place, the valve 40 is closed and the alve 39 opened.
  • the cylinder 46 under the piston 45 is vented or drained through a port normally closed by a valve 55.
  • the stem of this valve passes through aslot in the lever 54 and has nuts on it below.
  • a spring 56 forces the valve up against its scat. ⁇ Vhcn the lever 5% is forced down at its outer end it pulls the valve down and vents the cylinder l6 and pipe 44;. Atoll other times no leakage takes place.
  • This venting occurs when of calenders in which the lower roll 11 moves entirely out of contact with the upper roll 10 when the detecting device operates.
  • this requires the addition of a spring pressed roll (30 for continuously pressing the cloth against the roll 10, so that it will be advanced by the rolls 60 and 10 when the roll ll is out of contact.
