Definitions

  • This invention relates to a piling mechanism and more particularly to a mechanism for piling a sliver of fiber as it comes from a ber working machine.
  • the receiving and piling mechanism is adapted for use in connection with any and all types of machines for working various kinds of fiber which may be of any composition such as animal or vegetable.
  • the invention provides for forming a particularly compact pile of sliver of fiber which may be removed as a. unit without substanial deformation.
  • the twist of the fiber is neutralized during piling so that it may be removed from the pile in an untwisted condition without requiring special care or attention.
  • the wave is impartr ed to the sliver in such a direction that the folds or chords are of uniform length and completely fill the table so that the finished pile has an even contour and'is in compact form.
  • the invention also consists in certain new and original features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of the piling mecha- Fig. ⁇ 2 is a section along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1';
  • Fig. ⁇ 8 is a detail View showing the arrangement of the sliver machine
  • Fig. 4 is a plan view of the receivers showing the driving ⁇ mechanism
  • Fig. 5 is a section taken on the line 5-5 of when piled by the present c Fig. 2 showing the mechanism for oscillating the table;
  • Fig. 6 is a section taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 2 showing the mechanism for oscillating the spout;
  • Fig. 7 is an enlarged detail of the connecting link to the spout.
  • each sliver 11 leaving liber working machine 10 is illustrated as formed Vfrom a pair of slivers 12 which are taken from rolls or piles 13. It is obvious, however, that any number of slivers may be operated on by the fiber working ⁇ machine and used to produce slivers 11 which are lto be piled in accordance with the present invention.
  • Receivers 14 comprise rotary tables which are mounted for rotary movement onshafts 21 and U-shaped shields 22 which partly enclose said tables and serve to conline the slivers during the piling operation.
  • VChutes 15 (Fig. 2) are pivotally mounted as Vat 25 on the frame 26 of the ber/working machine. Said frame also supports driving shaft 27 carrying a plurality of feed rolls 28. Shaft 30 is journalled in bracket 31 secured in framey 26 and carries a plurality ofV goscillate about their' centers.
  • presser rolls 32 which are in engagement with the various feed rolls 28.
  • Cooperating gears 33 and 34 on shafts 3() and 27 respectively cause the necessary rotation of rolls 28 and 32 for feeding the slivers 11 onto chutes 15.
  • Shaft 27 terminates in a beveled gear 35, cooperating with a beveled gear 36', carried by shaft 37 which is journalled in suitable bearings secured to frame 26.
  • Gear 38 carriedfby shaft 37 drives the gear 39 which in turn causes rotation of crank 40.
  • Crank 40 (Fig. 6) is provided with a pin 41 on which is mounted connecting rod 42 which is also pivoted to reciprocating rod 43.
  • Rod43 isv provided with a plurality of pins 44 (Fig. 7) carried on brackets 45 which are adjustably secured to said rod 43 by means of bolts 46. elongated slots permitting transverse adjustment of bracliets 45 to permit proper alignment of pins 44.
  • Each pin 44 engages an elongated slot 47 in arm 48 which is secured to the underside of a chute 15 in any convenient manner. It is to be noted that the rotary movement of crank 40 causes reciprocating movement of rod 43 which through arms 48 causes a similar reciprocating movement of chutes 15 about pivots 25.
  • Chutes 15 may also be provided with hori- Zontal pivots 50 (Fig. 2) by means of which their angles of inclination may be varied as desired.
  • hori- Zontal pivots 50 Fig. 2
  • shaft 37 The lower end of shaft 37 is provided with a worm 51 (Fig. 4) cooperating with a worm gear 52 carried on shaft 53 (Fig. 2), which also carries sprocket 54.
  • Chain 55 (Figs. 2 and 5) to which connecting rod 56 is secured as by pin 57, is passed over sprocket 54 and idler sprocket 58.
  • Connecting rod 56 is pivf otally connected to rack 59, which engages gear wheels 60, meshing with gears 61 which are mounted on shafts 21.
  • slivers 11 are fed over chutes l5 by the action of feed rolls 28 and presser rolls 32.
  • the slivers are given an oscillatory motion in the direction of their greatest width by the oscillatory motion of the .chutes whereby they are deposited on tables 20 in the form of folded waves.
  • Tables 20 are slowly oscillated Yas the slivers are fed thereto.
  • the waves are progressively dis- The relationf placed about the periphery thereof and take the form of eccentric, slightly curved chords. Any twist which occurs in the fiber while the table is turning in one direction is neutralized by a corresponding reverse twist as the table rotates in the opposite direction.
  • the pile contains the maximum amount of fiber per unit of volume.
  • the pile of sliver thus formed is composed of alternate folds extending in opposite directions with the twist of the various folds so neutralized that the sliver may be withdrawn from the pile and applied to any desired machine, in an untwisted condition without requiring attention. It is of comparatively regular contour and possesses adequate strength to permit removal as a unit without danger of becoming deformed or en tangled.
  • a rotary table means for causing oscillatory movement thereof, a chute for directing a sliver on said table, and means for oscillating said chute about a substantially vertical axis whereby the sliver is automatically oscillated in a direction of its greatest width as it is fed to IOL the oscillating table and is caused to be piled in a series of eccentric chords of substantially. uniform length, the relative movement of the chute and table being such that successive chords are angularly displaced and disposed on the same side of the axis of the table in a substantially toroidal formation made up of a plurality of alternately superposed helices.
  • a piling machine including a plurality of chutes, a plurality of rotatable tables, a gear associated with each of said tables, a rack cooperating with said gears and means for causing an oscillatory movement to said rack comprising an endless chain, a connecting rod pivoted on said chain and secured ⁇ to said rack and means for causing continuous movement of said chain.
  • a table mounted for rotary movement about its axis, means for causing oscillatory movement of said table about said axis, a chute for directing a sliver onto said table and means for oscillatin said chute in a direction of the greatest Wi th of said sliver, said oscillating chute and said oscillating table being so related that the sliver is fed onto the table and piled thereon in a serious of eccentric chords of substantially uniform length, successive chords being angularly displaced and disposed on thek same side of the aXis of the table whereby a substantially toroidal formation is obained made up of a plurality of alternately superposed helices and the twist of the various portions thereof is neutralized whereby the sliver may be removed in an untwisted condition.
