Definitions

  • the object of my present invention is practically to obtain the parallelization of textile fibres by means of cylinders or rollers, having their surfaces provided with needles or carding teeth, and combined with other cylinders or rollers, with a resilient and compressible surface.
  • the circumferential speed of each of said cylinders or rollers being greater than that of the preceding one, the fibres are caused to slide between the carding teeth while they are pulled and drawn between each cylinder and a fixed block, with a polished rigid concave surface into which closely fits a portion of the surface of the cylinder.
  • Fig. l is a sectional View of part of the comber or dolfer and the stretching rollers or cylinders associated therewith, and
  • Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through one of the rollers or cylinders according to Fig. l, but on a smaller scale.
  • a part of the doffer of the carding engine is shown at A in Fig. 1.
  • the fibres placed by the card between the teeth of said doffer or comber are taken at the point m by the roller B the surface of which is covered with leather and which is rotatable in the recess of a metal block C at a circumferential speed greater than that of A.
  • This diderence of speed between A and B will cause the fibres to slide between the teeth on A when they are drawn by B into the recess of C, the straightening and parallelization of said fibres being the result of such sliding movement.
  • D is a combing cylinder' rotating as, but faster than cylinder B and combing the web of fibres in a recessed rigid block C similar to C.
  • E is another resilient surface roller similar' to B, rotating as, but faster than, cylinder D, and which causes the fibres to come olf the teeth of D and slide and be stretched ⁇ on a recessed block C similar to C and C.
  • a web of perfectly straight and parallel fibres comes out from between roller E and block C, at the rear edge u of the block and this web is ready to be transformed into slivers to form rovings in the known manner.
  • My invention also provides means for producing uniform pressure of the rollers B and E on the fleece of libres in the recessed blocks C and C.
  • Fig. 2 shows the longitudinal section of a cylinder or roller with a compressible surma face according to my present invention and recessed block in which it operates.
  • the shaft H extending through said roller is supported at its central part I only and the fieX- ibility thereof enables the roller to perfectly it into the recess.
  • a small pressure of the shaft completing the pressure produced by the weight of the roller will be sufficient for securing the Contact of the fiexible material and the carrying away of the fibres on the entire length ofthe roller.
  • z' designates the compressible material coated with a thin layer of leather or the like J and K are the bearings supporting the shaft H.
  • a carding engine for producing a web of straightened and parallel libres comprising a series of rollers, with a compressiblc surface, and a combing cylinder revolving with successively increased speeds in hollow recessed blocks into which they draw and elongate the web of fibres taken off the dofler
