Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for depositing sliver in a can 'or other suitable receptacle, more particularly to means for automaticallycontrolling the operation of such apparatus.
  • the device according to the invention includes a' control lever which is actuated in response to the distance between the calender rollers forming part of the conventional sliver depositing apparatus as well as in response to pressure exerted; by the sliver if the latter isnot correctly received in the can 'and/ or when the can overflows.
  • the lever actuates conventional electric switch means which effect stopping of the apparatus in the conventional manner until the irregularity is corrected.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic part sectional elevation of an apparatus according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic part sectional plan view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 with the casing removed.
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic side view of a portion of the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 looking in the direction of the arrow III in said figures.
  • numeral 1 designates the casing of a conventional apparatus for depositing sliver received through an inlet 22 by means of a rotating funnel wheel 18 along a circular path into a can 19.
  • a horizontal shaft 4 is mounted on a support 2 in the casing which shaft swingably supports a two arm lever 3.
  • One arm of the latter carries a bearing 5 for a shaft 6 of a calender roller 7.
  • the latter rests, due to its weight, on a callender roller 8 which may be driven by a motor 23.
  • a spring or the like may be provided in the conventional manner.
  • the lever 3 has an abutment surface 9 which is 2 associated with both :arms of the leverfor a purpose which will be described later.
  • a vertical pin '10 mounted on the support 2 swingably supports an elbow lever 11.
  • the latter has a vertical portion .12 through which extend horizontal screws 13 and 14, the point of one of the screws abutting against the portion of the abutment surface 9 pertaining to one arm of the lever 3 and the point of the other screw abutting against the portion of the abutment surface 9' pertaining to the other arm of the lever 3.
  • the lever 1 1 has a portion extending between the nip of the rollers 7 and 8 and the inlet of a funnel 16 forming part of the conventional rotatable funnel wheel 18.
  • the aforesaid portion of the lever 11 is provided with an aperture 15 through which passes the sliver on its way from the rollers 7, 8 to the funnel 16.
  • the aperture 15 is eccentric with respect to the rotation axis of the wheel 18 whichis rotated in the conventional manner by means, not shown.
  • the portion of thelever :11 extending between the calender rollers 7, 8 and the funnel 16 is provided with a downwardly extending fiap 17 which is engagedby the funnel 16 when the funnel wheel 18 is lifted up by sliver materialjaccumulating at the discharge side of the fun nel wheel, for example, if the can 19, into which the sliver is deposited in a helical manner, is filled and overflows.
  • the slight axial movability of the funnel wheel is inherent of conventional sliver depositing apparatus and the means afiording it are not illustrated, as they do not form part of the invention.
  • the lever 11 forms the actuating part of control means which, in the illustrated embodiment of the invention, includes a switch 21 which is opened by the free end of the lever l'l whenever there is an improper condition in-the discharge of the sliver through the funnel 16 and/or.
  • r i I During normal operation the sliver enters the apparatus through the inlet 22 and passes between the rollers 7 and 8 and through the aperture 15 of the lever 11 into I the inlet 16 of the funnel wheel 18. The lever 11 is thereby in the position shown in FIG. 2 in which the switch 21 is closed. If there is no supply of sliver, the lever 3 supporting the roller 7 moves in clockwise direction (FIG. 3) towards the roller 8. Thereby, the free arm of the lever 3 pushes against the screw 14, moving the lever 11 in clockwise direction (FIG. 2) against the action of the spring @4- and opening the switch 21.
  • the sliver material clogs the inlet of the rotating funnel wheel, thereby forming a lump below the calender rollers 7 and 8 which lump rotates with the funnel wheel. Since the opening 15 in the lever 11 is eccentric relatively to the rotation axis of the funnel wheel the sliver material will urge the aperture 15 towards the rotation axis of the funnel wheel so that the lever 11 swings clockwise, opening the switch 21.
  • a sliver depositing apparatus comprising a rotatable funnel wheel having a funnel receiving the sliver and discharging the sliver along a circular path, a pair of calender rollers for feeding the sliver into said funnel, said tunnel wheel being axially movable towards and from said rollers, one of said rollers being movable to- Wards and from the other of said rollers in a direction which is normal tothe rotation axes of said rollers, an actuating means operatively connected to said movable roller and being responsive to the movements thereof, and a movable control member engageable by said actuating means to be moved thereby upon improper movement of said movable roller, said control member having a portion e'ngageable by said funnel wheel for moving said control member upon axial movement of said funnel wheel due to improper conditions in the discharge of the sliver through said funnel, said control member being disengaged from said actuating means and lirom said funnel wheel, during normal operation of the apparatus.
  • a sliver depositing apparatus comprising a rotatable funnel wheel having a funnel receiving the sliver and discharging the sliver along a circular path, a pair of calender rollers for feeding the sliver into said funnel, one of said rollers being movable towards and from the other of said rollers in a direction which is normal to the rotation axes of said rollers, actuating means including a two-arm lever connected to said movable roller and being responsive to the movements thereof, and control means including a control lever adapted to be abutted by one arm of said two-arm lever upon movement of said movable roller in one direction and to be abutted by the second arm of said two-arm lever upon movement of said movable roller in the opposite direction for swinging said control lever in the same direct-ion upon an improper movement of said movable roller in one or in the opposite direction.
  • a sliver depositing apparatus comprising a rotatable funnel wheel having a funnel receiving the sliver and discharging the sliver along a circular path, a pair of calender rollers for feeding the sliver into said funnel, said funnel wheel being axially movable towards and from said rollers, one of said rollers being movable towards and from the other of said rollers in a direction which is normal to the rotation axes of said rollers, an actuating means operatively connected to said movable roller and being responsive to the movements thereof, and control means including a lever having a portion placed between the nip of said rollers and the inlet of said funnel, saidportion having an aperture through which the sliver passes on its way from the nip of said rollers to said funnel, said aperture being located eccentrically of the rotation axis of said funnel'wheel whereby sliver material clogging in the funnel tends to move said lever into a position in which said aperture is coaxial of said funnel wheel, for actu
  • a sliver depositing apparatus comprising a rotatable funnel wheel having a funnel receiving the sliver and discharging the sliver along a circular path, a pair of calender rollers for feeding the sliver into said tunnel,
  • first actuating means connected to said movable roller and being responsive to connected to said first actuating means to be actuated by the latter upon improper movements of said movable roller, and control means operatively connected to said second actuating means to be actuated thereby upon improper movement of said movable roller as well as upon improper flow conditions of the sliver through said tunnel.
