A curved plate (not shown in machine with the preferred form of the present the drawings) at the front of the machine shunts invention embodied therein-.- the fillet from one section to the other. The third 35.;

the drum and various rolls of a carding machine the fillet. and. it is of prime importance that when in place An additional amount of friction'which is adit shall fit snugly and tightly the periphery of justable or under control is provided on the fillet the drum or roll. In order to secure this result before it passes to the cone drum. For that purthe fillet is maintained under a very substantial pose a. small bed plate I5 having the upturned 55 sides is forming a box of substantially the width of the fillet is mounted by means of the bracket I! on the vertical side plate 1. The fillet before passing to the cone drum passes over this bed plate l5 with its backthereagainst. A fiat top plate l8 rests in the box formed by the side plate IS on top of the teeth of the fillet and is pressed downward to apply the required amount of friction.
Heretofore this friction has been manually controlled. In the present invention it is auto-\ matically controlled and for that purpose a shiftable cam preferably in the form of a wedge-shaped plate 19 is mounted on top of the top plate l8. This wedge-shaped plate is thicker at the front of the machine and thinner at the rear. Its top surfaces rests against an abutment shown as a set screw 20 threaded into an arm 2| 'mounted upon one of the sides I 6. It will thusbe seen that as the wedge-shaped plate or shiftable' cam I9 is moved forward or rearward, the pressure applied to the fillet and consequently the retarding friction will be decreased or increased while the set screw 20 enables a manual adjustment to be made.
The pivotal controller l3 at its upper end is recessed to provide a guideway for the fillet and it is also provided with a guide roller 22 over which the fillet passes. The lower arm of this controller extends rearward and is connected by powerful springs 23 to the upper end of the side plate 8.
When the roll upon which the fillet isbeing wound is driven, the upper recessed end of the controller is drawn rearward by the tension on the fillet and the springs 23 press the controller against the fillet with a pressure just sufficient to be overcome by the desired tension on the fillet. In order toindicate the desired tension, a scale 24 is marked on the upper edge of theside plate 8 and a pointer 25 cooperating with this scaleis pivoted at 26 on the side plate. A slotted arm 21 extending rearward from the pointer engages a stud 28 projecting from the lower arm of the controller lever through a slot 29 in the side plate. Consequently this pointer: will indicate on the scale the amount of pressure exerted by the springs 23 through the controller against the fillet and this scale is usually graduated to indicate in pounds the tension existing in the fillet as it is drawn through the machine over the controller against the retarding friction.
In the present invention means are provided connecting the controller and the retarding friction applying means, which connecting means act upon movement of the controller caused by a change from the desired tension to effect a compensating change in the retarding friction and thereby to restore the desired tension. A simple and preferred form of means is illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3 and consists of a lever 30 fulcrumed at 3! on'a bracket 32 projectingfrom the side 18. ..t one end this lever is slotted and engages a stud projecting from the shiftable cam or wedge-shaped plate I9, while at the other end it is provided with spaced pins 34 between which projects a stud 35 projecting inward from the controller l3. Consequently any movement of the controller forward or rearward acts to shift the wedge-shaped plate l9 rearward'or forward and thus to increase or decrease the retarding friction applied to the fillet.
If, then, the roll upon which the fillet is being wound is driven with the end of the fillet connected thereto, and it is desired to maintain a tension of a desired amount indicated, for example, by the point 35 on the scale 24, the screw 20 is adjusted until the retarding friction applied to the fillet between the plates is and i5, together with the retarding friction applied by the cone drum, is such that the pointer stands at this point 36 on the scale. If, now, any change takes place in the desired tension, the controller will swing one way or the other on its pivot but immediately this swinging movement takes place in either direction the connection from the controller tothe cam I 9 acts to shift the cam in a direction to effect a compensating change in the retarding friction and thus bring the pointer back to the point 36 and thus restore the desired tension.
The invention thus acts automatically to maintain constant any desired uniform tension in the fillet.
Not only does the invention compensate for any changes which take place in the pull exerted by the rotation of the driven roll towhich the fillet is .being applied, but it also compensates for the slight variations which may occur in the overall thickness of the fillet as it passes between the plates I8 and I5 and which, if not compensated for, would change the amount of retarding friction applied to the fillet.
