Definitions

  • the present invention relates to machines for mounting fillets of card clothing on drums or rolls for carding or similar machines; It is well known that for a perfect operation of carding drums or rolls, it is necessary that the card fillet be mounted on the drum or roll at a constant tension, since an increase aswell as a decrease of the tension on the fillet results in heavy inconveniences which reduce the life of the card clothing and deteriorate the quality of the material to be treated in the carding machine.
  • Various card mounting machines have been proposed, Which sufier from a number of inconveniences in the practical peration and in which the maintenance of a constant tension on the fillet of card clothing is dependent on the skill and experience of the operator.
  • Card mounting machines hitherto known are exclusively provided with manually adjustable means for efiecting a preliminary braking of the fillet, which means in connection with an additional friction device produces the required tension on the fillet, the fillet leaving the braking means being conducted over a spring actuated roller or the like member actuating an indicator which shows the tension on the fillet prevailing at any time on the portion of the fillet located between the braking means and the card drum or roll.
  • the tension on the fillet is thus controlled manually, the indi-- cator having for its purpose only to indicate variations in the braking force which may occur for some reason or other, such as a result of variations, in the velocity of the fillet.
  • the means for efiecting a preliminary braking of the fillet is constructed such as to brake the fillet between two metal surfaces, with the result'that card clothings having long and soft teeth as well as card clothings provided with teeth which are bent through great angles are likely to be damaged when passing between said surfaces. Consequently, such devices can be used only for card clothings having relatively short and steep'teeth.
  • the present invention has for its object to avoid the above indicated inconveniences and to provide a card mounting machine in which the upper side of the fillet is entirely kept free from pressure so that fillets having long and soft teeth or teeth bent through great angles can be mounted without being damaged, and in which any required tension on the fillet can be adjustedand automatically maintained constant under all working conditions without the necessity of controlling the tension.
  • Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the card mounting device, the section being taken through the axes of the braking rollers.
  • Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the card mounting device as viewed from the left in Fig. 1.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate me diagrammatic manner a modification of sOme parts of the card mounting machine.
  • the various parts of the card mounting machine are mounted in two vertical end plates l and 2 which by suitable means are spaced relative 'to each other and which are provided with claw-like members 3 and 4 which to some extent surround horizontal guide bars or tubes 5 and 6, respectively, in a manner such that the card mounting machine is supported by said guide bars and can be displaced longitudinally of said bars.
  • claw-like members 3 and 4 which to some extent surround horizontal guide bars or tubes 5 and 6, respectively, in a manner such that the card mounting machine is supported by said guide bars and can be displaced longitudinally of said bars.
  • antifriction members such as rollers, ball bearings and thelike members not shown in'the drawing.
  • a sleeve! which is displaceable on the bar 6 by means of a ball bearing or similar member not shown in the drawing.
  • the braking device consists of two braking rollers 8 and 9 disposed coaxially with respect to each other and provided with a friction coating I l) and ll,v respectively, for cooperation with the fillet to be mounted.
  • the braking roller 8 is loosely mounted on a sleeve '12 having a cylindrical outer face and being se- '-cured to the end-plate l by means of screws I3.
  • the sleeve I2 acts as a stationar nut as its inner surface is provided with threads M for cooperation with a threaded portion of a shaft 15.
  • the braking roller 9 is likewise loosely mounted l5. Between the adjacent end jaws of the braking rollers 8 and 9, there is provided a friction ring I6 consisting of leather or any other suitable material. A similar friction ring I! is disposed between the braking roller 8 and a flanged portion 18 of the sleeve [2.
  • a cord or wire 28 which runs over a guide roller 21, connected with a roller 29 the shaft of which is acted upon by a torsional spring (not shown) disposed in a spring case 30. Consequently, the slide block ,26 is always forced against the guide bar 25.
  • the tension of the torsional spring can be adjusted by means of a pin 41.
  • the slide block 26 Upon turning movement of the arm 2 I, the slide block 26 is guided by means of a guide link 3
  • is mountedon a guide rod 35 and a screw spindle 36, said guide rod and screw spindle being in turn mounted in cross pieces 31 and 38 connected with the end plate I.
  • the screw spindle 36 carries on its outer end a handle 39 by means of which the spindle can be rotated and, consequently, the guide link 3
  • the rod 35 is on its outer side bevelled as at 40 and provided with a scale 4
  • the scale is advantageously graduated such that the tension on the fillet can be directly read-off thereon.
  • the fillet is guided by means of stationary guide members 43 and 44 and loosely mounted guide rollers 45 and 46v disposedbetween the end plates and 2'.
  • the fillet to be mounted is laterally introduced on the guide member 43 and passes therefrom onto and around the braking roller 3, onto the guide member 44 and onto the second brakingroller 8. As indicated in Fig. 2 by the dot-anddash line 48, the fillet then passes from the roller 8 onto the roller 22 mounted on the arm 2
  • the axis of the supporting shaft of arm 22 is displaced from the medial plane between the fillet 48, 49 being closer to the fillet portion 48; and the resultant of the tensions in fillet portions 48 and 49' therefore tends to rotate the arm 2
  • is subject, on the one hand, to thetension exerted by the fillet portions 48, 49 upon the roller 22 and, on the other hand, to the opposing pressure exerted by the slide block 26 on the guide bar 25.
  • and the guide bar 25 have a position such that the turning moments, with respect to the turning axis of the arm 2
  • can be adjusted into a position corresponding to the desired tension on the fillet.
  • 5 Upon a turning movement of the arm 2
  • will be turned in a clockwise direction, with the result that the frictional pressure between the braking rollers 6,, I and the flange It will be increased so that the tendency to reduce the tension on the fillet will be counteracted by the increased braking force exerted by the braking device.
  • may be given a shape other than that shown in the drawings.
  • the guide link may have a greater radius of curvature or it may be straight or even curved in a direction opposite to that shown in the drawings. This will be necessary especially in such cases where the slide block 25 is not acted upon by the variable tension of a spring, but instead thereof by a constant force, such as by means of a weight or by a pneumatic or hydraulic pressure device.
  • FIGs. 3 and 4 there is illustrated a simplified modification of the movable member actuated by the tension on the fillet and by an external load.
  • reference numeral 8 again designates one of the two braking rollers, and reference numeral designates the threaded shaft, upon which in the present in instance there is secured a two-armed lever 50, one arm of which carries the freely rotatable roller 22, while the other arm of the lever has secured thereto, as at 5
  • the other end of .the wire 28 is at 52 secured to a disc 53 having a spiral groove for the wire.
  • the disc 53 is acted upon by a spring not shown located in a spring case 30.
  • the said spring tends to turn the disc 53 in an anti-clockwise direction as viewed in Fig. 3.
  • the tension of the spring and thus also the magnitude of the external force acting upon the lever 50 can be adjusted by means of a handle 54 adapted to rotate a worm 55 cooperating with a worm wheel 56.
  • the upper portion of the lever 50 is devised as a roller carrier 57 being in the shape of a circular arc and having loosely mounted thereon a number of guide rollers 58,
  • the turning movement of the lever 50 in the clockwise direction is limited by a stop mei ber 50.
  • the lower portion of the lever 55 is provided with a counter-weight 6! for balancing the weight of the roller carrier 51 and the rollers mounted thereon.
  • the desired tension on the fillet portion between the roller 22 and the carding drum or roll is adjusted by means of the handle 54 and can be read-off on an indicator 62. If during the mounting of the fillet the tension on the fillet tends to surmount the predetermined value, the force exerted by the fillet portion 49 on the roller 22 will be increased, with the result that the lever 50 will be turned in an anti-clockwise direction. As described in connection with the previous embodiment, the frictional pressure between the braking rollers 8 and 9 and the stationary flange l8 will be reduced so much as to maintain constant the initial tension on the fillet. Should the tension on the fillet tend to be reduced below the predetermined value, the device will operate in the opposite manner.
  • the direction of the fillet portion 49 is, under otherwise equal conditions, dependent upon the diameter of the drum or roll on which the fillet is to be mounted. Let it be assumed that the direction of the fillet portion 49 corresponds to a drum or roll having the greatest conventional diameter, wheras in the case of a drum or roll having the smallest conventional diameter the fillet would assume the direction indicated at 63. If, in the latter case, the fillet would directly run from the roller 22 to the drum, the turning moment with respect to the shaft l5 due to a certain tension on the fillet would be considerably smaller because of the fact that the distance between the shaft l5 and the fillet would be smaller than in the first named case.
  • the indicator 62 would show the real tension on the fillet in connection with a certain diameter only or that it ought to be provided with a number of different scales corresponding to the number of the convenient diameters of the drums, which might easily give rise to incorrect adjustments of the indicator.
  • the distance 64 between the turning axis of the lever 50 and the fillet portion 49 is substantially equal to the distance 65 between the turning axis of the lever and the fillet portion 63 running from the guide roller 59 to the drum.
  • the distance 66 between the turning axis of the lever 50 and a fillet portion 51 running from the guide roller 58 to a drum having a medium-sized diameter has substantially the same value. It will be obvious that the greater the number of the guide rollers 58, 59, the more exactly will the turning moment due to the tension on the fillet be maintained constant. For practical purposes, two or three guide rollers will be sufiicient.
  • one additional guide roller will be sufiicient. It will be evident that the turning moment due to the tension on the fillet may be maintained constant by lifting or lowering the card mounting machine to such an extent that a plane meeting the upper faces of the drum or roll and the roller 22 will be inclined at a constant angle with respect of the horizontal plane irrespective of the diameter of the drum or roll.
  • the card mounting machine can be easily removed from the guide bars 5 and 6 by swinging it through a small angle about the bar 6 in a clockwise direction so as to disengage the claw 3 from the bar 5, whereupon the machine, which constitutes a constructional unit, can be removed from the bar 6.
  • the machine can be placed upon the bars 5 and 6.
