Definitions

  • This invention concerns the carding of natural, artificial or synthetic textile fibers such as wool, cotton, ax, tow, hemp, staple fiber, polyamide fibers, and so forth.
  • these improvements consist essentially in interposing between two consecutive carding rollers or main cylinders in a carding machine, a double transferring arrangement comprising a combination, on the one hand, of a slowly rotating worker giving a first carding point with the first carding roller and a second carding point with the second carding roller, and on the other hand, a stripping roller transferring to the second carding roller ⁇ the fibrous material remaining on the first carding roller after the first carding point, the slow-running worker being itself associated with a stripper which transfers to the second carding roller all the fibrous material remaining on said worker after the second carding point.
  • Fig. l shows the application of the invention to both a pre-carding machine and then to the carding machine proper, the peripheral speeds of the various members, likewise given by way of example, being shown in kilometers per hour.
  • Fig. 2 is another view of the assembly of Fig. l showing the manner in which the several rollers are suitably driven.
  • 1, 1 are the feed cylinders of a pre-carding machine A, C, in which 2 and 3 are respectively the first carding or burring roller, and the second carding or breast roller.
  • a third carding or main roller 4 is that of the carding machine proper C1 which, in the embodiment illustrated, is assumed to be followed by a complementary carding machine C2 having a carding or main roller S, the whole assembly finishing with the dofier 6 and the dofiing comb 7.
  • the passage of the fibrous material is shown by an unbroken line in the zones where all of the material is present, and by a broken line in those zones in which only a portion of the material passes.
  • the pre-carding machine A, C owing to the improvements provided according to the invention, carries out an important carding action, effected progressively and methodically, so that there is required only a relatively slack feed to the burring or taker-in roller 2 by the cylinders 1, 1, of fibers lying together in tufts and forming aV relatively bulky somewhat compact mass of fibers, this having the advantage of not breaking the bers.
  • This pre-carding machine A, C comprises two double transferring arrangements of a special type, one between the burring or taker-in roller 2 and the breast roller 3, and the other between said breast roller 3 and the main carding roller 4.
  • the first double transferring arrangement is formedby the combination comprising, on the one hand, one upper slowly rotating worker 8 giving a first carding point c1 with the burring roller 2 and a second carding point c2 with the breast roller 3 and, on the other hand, one lower stripping roller 9 transferring to the breast roller 3 the material remaining on the taker-in roller 2 after the first carding point c1, said upper slow-running Worker 8 being itself associated with a stripper 10 which transfers to the breast roller 3 all the material remaining on said worker 8 after the second carding point c2.
  • the second double transferring arrangement comprises a combination of members 8', 9', 10 which are similar to those described above and giving two carding points c4 and c5 analogous to the carding points c1 and c2.
  • this pre-carding arrangement gives at least four important carding points c1, c2, c4, c5.
  • the principal carding points c2 and e5 have an exceptional efficiency.
  • the fibers conveyed by the slowrunning worker 8 (or 8') present themselves Vwith their free ends forwardly directed and are then subjected to a normal combing and carding action.
  • very few fibers are broken or injured and the duration and eficiency of the carding operation are much increased due to the fact that the carding roller 3 (or 4) rotates six times faster (or twenty-four times faster) in the numerical example given, than the slow-running worker 8.
  • the material coming from the lower stripping roller 9 (or 9') is carded and divided up again on passing the point c2. It has been found that, in general, the efficiency of the carding points c2 and c5 is at least double, if not treble, that of conventional carding points.
  • Division of the material is produced at the points c1 and c4, and then a regrouping at 4c2 and c5. This action of dividing, regrouping, dividing again, etc., is particularly favorable for a good distribution of the material, for regularity of the carding operation and for progressive division fiber by fiber.
  • the delivery of fibrous material may reach twice that of the delivery given by the carding machines of the prior art, where the production is limited by the material becoming matted at the obligatory points of passage.
  • the existence of the carding points c2 and c5 forms the essential reason for the very marked acceleration of the carding action according to the present invention, but that which is really characteristic is their rational arrangement, the complete stripping or clearing of any one of the members, each, by a more rapidly rotating following member, and the double transferring of the fibrous material, which allows overloading and saturation of tne slow-running workers 8 and 8' to be avoided, while the carding rollers 2 and 3 are completely cleared of their fibrous material by the stripping rollers 9 and 9'.
  • the arrangements described may utilize all known rigid, saw-toothed, flexible, semi-rigid or like card clothings which are usually employed.
  • the carding capacity of the main carding roller 4 alone may, in many cases, depending upon the materials which are being treated, become insuicient. It is then possible, Vwithin the scope of the invention, to provide for a supplementary carding roller 5 whose action allows the maximum production to be obtained.
  • the roller 4 in that case, is then covered with a clothing of the type called a transfer card-clothing, which is a card-clothing having teeth (or needles) of short height and light Obliquity, or a suitable brush roller, which allows the fibrous material remaining on roller 4 to be entirely caught up by the slow-running comb 11 covered with a conventional card-clothing which transfers it, through the medium of the stripping roller 9, to the carding roller S.
  • a transfer card-clothing which is a card-clothing having teeth (or needles) of short height and light Obliquity
  • a suitable brush roller which allows the fibrous material remaining on roller 4 to be entirely caught up by the slow-running comb 11 covered with a conventional card-clothing which transfers it, through the medium of the stripping roller 9, to the carding roller S.
  • the slow-running worker 8" may be placed some little distance from the main carding roller 4, so that it only catches about half of the material, the remainder on roller 4 being then caught by the lower transferring members 11, 9".
  • rollers and cylinders referred to above and shown in detail in Fig. l may be driven from a single power source, shown as the motor M, by suitable use of belts and chains.
  • belts are shown in solid lines, and chains with corresponding sprocket wheels are shown in dotted lines.

  • a second carding roller adjacent but spaced from said first carding roller and of substantially the same diameter
