IMPROVEMENT lN MACHINES FOR MANUFACTURING CARDS FOR CARDING FIBERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 186,396, dated January 16, 1877; application filed To all whom it may concern: v

Be it known that we, THOMAS EDWARD YATES, HENRY YATES, WILLIAM HEATON KELLETT, andSIMON KnLL TT,a1l of Oleckheaton, in the county of York, England, have invented certain Improvements inMachines for Manufacturing Cards for Oarding Fibers, of which the following is a specification:

This invention has for its object improvements in machines employed in the manufacture of cards, or card-teeth employed for carda ing fibers, and relates specially to that class of card-tooth the working portion of whichi that is to say, from the points to the bendl the ordinary description.

Figure 1 is a plan view of part of a card-;

setting machine, having our improvements applied. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of Fig. 1. Fig.3 is a cross-section on line a b; Fig. t, a section on the line 0 d.

A is an eccentric on the main driving-shaft of the machine. Bis a T-shaped lever, rocking on its ends in the pedestals G D. At E is an upright projection, being part of the lever B, and to which, by screw F, the adjust.- ing-piece G isattached. H is a die, secured by screw T to the slide-block K. 'L is another and stationary die. It will be seen that on each revolution of the main shaft the oc- November 11, 1876.

centric A will, by means of the T-lever, adjusting-pieceG, and slide-block K, cause the die H to advance upon the die L, and so nip wire between v flattened wire. When the eccentric has passed 1 its greatest throw, the pressure will be taken off the die H, whereon the spiral spring M will, by means of the pin N, draw back the slide K and the die H away from the fixed die L, so that the ordinary teed of the machine may act, and another portion of wire will be brought between the dies to be flattened, and so on at each revolution of the shaft and eccentric. The adjusting-screw F and piece G admit of the degree of flattening imparted to the wire, being regulated with nicety. The dies may also be regulated laterally by means of the screws S and T, and at P and R are screws for adjusting the block W relatively to the slide-piece K.

We claim- The combination of the stationary die L, and guides at each side of the same, with the die H, slide K, adjustable shoe G on the actuating-lever B, and means substantially such as described for imparting to the said lever a vibratory movement, and substantially as specified. a
