Definitions

  • the invention takes the form of a releasably secured sheet of web material, such as canvas, or other suitable flexible sheet material releasably supported along two spaced apart substantially parallel lines, the sheet being secured at one end to a roller, there being a pair of coalignecl flared throat guides extending below and beyond either edge of the sheet for guiding the extending shaft of a roll into desired unwinding position.
  • a roll receiving and positioning apparatus may Figure 1 illustrates in perspective a preferred physical:
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing a roll of material at an intermediate position while being lowered.
  • a desired structural elasticity as well as a considerable economy of material and the necessary structural strength have been effected by forming the framework and the entire peripheral surface of the arms 20 and 22, including throats .18 and slots 16 defined therebetween, of flat metal stock.
  • the lower body portions 19 and 21 of the standards 12 and 14 are each preferably formed of sheet material, the flat stock being secured thereto as by welding around the lateral periphery of the sheet material to give the necessary structural strength and rigidity to the lower portion of the standards.
  • the shaft 28 has a plurality of spaced apart pins 30 suitably secured or formed thereon, which serve to removably attach the end of canvas 26 to the shaft 28, as through the medium of metal or other reinforced eyelets 27 spaced along the end of canvas 26, whereby the canvas may be removably mounted across the upper span of throat 18.
  • the extended canvas 26 forms a bed which serves to receive with some degrees of resilience a lap roll dropped thereon from above, with substantially no injury to the lap. Additionally, with the illustrated open structural arrangement, arms 2% and 22 being elastic o'r resilient also serve to absorb the shock resulting from the drop of the lap roll, which may be quite heavy, as of the order of lbs.
  • a ratchet wheel 31 and pivoted mounted in complementary releas- 7 dog or pawl 33 are ably holding relation, the ratchet wheel being mounted on hand wheel 32, which in turn is secured onto roll shaft 25, with the pawl or dog 33being pivotally mount ed on the journal block 23 of arm 22. While theme? ferred means for selectively holding the roll 24 against undesired rotation takes the form of a'ratchet and, pawl arrangement, such as shown, it will beapparent that other hold-release arrangements might be utilized,
  • the operator may at a convenient later time come by the card frame and release the holding dog 33 from the ratchet and permit the canvas 26 to be unwound from roll 24, with unwinding being controlled as by the use of hand wheel 32 suitably secured onto one end of roll shaft and preferably having a handle 34 mounted thereon.
  • Unwinding of canvas 26 from roll 24- thus results in lowering of lap roll 36 between standards 12 and 14, with its lap pins 38 being thus lowered within the throat 18 until the extending lap pins 38 come to rest on a pair of lugs 40, one being formed or suitably secured, as by welding at the lower end of the throat 18 on the inner or throat surface side of each of arms 22.
  • the throat 18 and slot 16 are formed such that the slot 16 is to one side (toward arm 20) of the center of the upper span of throat 18 (i.e. the canvas bed width across the throat). This is accomplished by making the inner rail or throat surface 23 less steeply inclined than the corresponding throat surface 21 of arms 20, and as a result, since the lap roll tends to remain in the center of the canvas bed, it will first engage arms 22 on being lowered and will then ride down the inner throat surfaces 23 of these arms and into engagement with lug 40, where it comes to rest.
  • the canvas 2-6 is further unrolled from roll 24 a small additional amount and its end is then freed from pins 30, whereupon the canvas may be rewound onto roller 24 and repositioned above the lowered roll 36 and across throat 18 for reception of the next lap roll.
  • the lowered roll 36 is not in its final operative position when riding on lugs 40, but may readily and easily be placed in operative position in slots 16 merely by pushing it laterally toward arm 29, whereupon the pins 38 then ride ofi the lugs and into the slot 16, in which position the peripheral surface of the lap roll 36 rests upon the fluted cradle roller 17 of the card frame 10.
  • the normal operation of unwinding of the lap roll 36 and feeding of the lap into the carding frame may then be accomplished, with the lap progressing from the lap roll to the feed roll 46 and thence to the lickerin 43 in conventional or other desired manner.
  • Apparatus for receiving rolls of textile material comprising first support means, said support means having a roller rotatably mounted thereon, flexible sheet material secured along one end to said roller, second support means, securing means on said second support means and spaced apart from said roller in a direction transverse to the axis of said roller and releasably securing the opposite end of said flexible sheet material to said second support means along a line spaced from said roller, and means for rotating said roller, a pair of guides each having a V-shaped tapered throat with an apex at its lower end, one of said guides being disposed beyond each side of said sheet for guiding an extending shaft of a roll of material supported by said sheet toward the apex of said throat, the apex of said throats lying beneath the plane formed by said sheet when held in extended relation between said roller and said second support means.
  • Apparatus for positioning and unwinding textile material on rolls comprising a pair of spaced apart standards each having upwardly open cosligned Y-shaped flare-throated guidcways formed therein, said guideways effectively dividing said standards each into two upwardly extending arms, a roller rotatably mounted on and between the upper ends of corresponding arms of said standards, said roller having secured thereto one end of a length of flexible sheet material, a transverse member extending between and secured to the upper ends of the other of said arms of each of said standards, means for releasably attaching the free end of said sheet material to said transverse member, the total length of said sheet material being at least as great as the length of the V- shaped throat portions of said throated guideways, a cradle support roller rotatably mounted near the lower end of said slots, one of said arms of each of said standards having disposed thereon near the apex of the flared throats of said guideways a lug detent.
