CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS Boon Pats. 2,556,058, June 5, 1951; 3,208,800, Sept. 28, 1965; 3,301,603, Jan. 31, 1967. Boon application Ser. No. 503,272Filed Oct. 23, 1965 (pending).
The invention comprises a unique laundry and fabric collector assembly and method whereby laundry being conveyed is removed from the system utilizing in combination an inner arrangement of discharge doors and an outer arrangement of discharge doors wherein the respective arrangements are actuated by the weight of the laundry and one set of doors is closed while the other set is opened whereby a constant vacuum or pressure is maintained in the system.
The present invention is concerned generally with a laundry conveying system whereby the conveying medium comprises a vacuum (negative pressure) or positive pressure air system. Laundry and fabric are used interchangeably and are meant to include all types of textile as well as bulky trash, such as newspapers, etc. The invention is more specifically concerned with a novel collector system for the removal of the conveyed laundry from the conveying system without losing air pressure within the system. In accordance with a specific adaptation of the present invention, a first or inner set of release doors is utilized in conjunction with a second set or outer release doors operated under conditions wherein one set of doors is always closed which thereby prevents open communication from without the system to within the system thus preventing loss of vacuum or air pressure from within are removed from the conveying system for processing which substantially increases the costs of operating these.
systems.
The particular fabric and laundry collector assembly of the present invention may be readily used in any type of air conveying system such as that described in applicants prior U.S. Pats. 2,556,058, issued June 5, 1951; 3,208,800, issued Sept. 28, 1965; and 3,301,603, issued Jan. 31, 1967.
3,524,681 Patented Aug. 18,, 1970 ice s The apparatus and technique of the present invention may be fully understood by reference to the drawings illustrating one embodiment of the same. FIG. 1 is an overall view of the collector assembly while FIG. 2 illustrates in some detail the inner functioning of the respective inner elements. Referring specifically to FIG. 1, collecting station 10 has an incoming conduit or connection 1 and an outgoing air conduit or connection 2. As pointed out heretofore, station 10 may be interposed in a conventional fluid or air conveying conduit at any point or collecting station at which it is desired to remove the fabrics or laundry from the system. Doors 3 and 4 are shown positioned at the lower end of collector 10 by means of hinges 5 and 6. The hinges on door 4 are not shown. Door 4 has a suitable counterweight 7 positioned on the extending edge thereof while door 3 has a counterweight element 8 extending along the outer ending S111", face thereof. While counterweights 7 and 8 preferably extend along the entire lengths of the respective doors 3 and 4, it is to be understood that equivalent spot counter: weights may be used.
Referring specifically to FIG. 2, elements similar t elements on FIG. 1 are similarly numbered. The laundry and incoming air enters collector assembly 10 through conduit and incoming air enters collector assembly 10 through conduit 1 and passes into a perforated, preferably rectangular, curved conduit 20 positioned within collector assembly 10. The flowing air passes through the perforations 26 of curved element 20 and is withdrawn through exhaust conduit 2. It is preferred that perforated element 20 have a curvature of about 90. A pressure seal plate 21 is positioned about conduit 20 so as to prevent any downward air flow in the annular area between conduit 20 and the interior walls of collector 10 into collecting area 27. The lower end of conduit 20, below seal plate 21 is solid and contains no perforations.
Positioned between seal plate 21 and lower or exterior doors 3 and 4, which are shown closed in solid lines and open in dotted lines, are upper or inner doors 22 and 23. These interior doors 22 and 23 are attached by suitable hinges to the lower end of conduit 20. Door 22 contains along its extending edge a counterweight 24 while door 23 has a counterweight 25 extending along its outer edge.
In initial operation, doors 22, 23, 3 and 4 are all closed The material being conveyed along with the conveying air, mopes through conduit 1 to collector assembly 10 and into perforated conduit 20. The conveying air passes through perforations 26 in conduit 20 and is withdrawn from collector assembly '10 through exhaust conduit 2. The laundry falls free and collects onthe upper surfaces of closed doors 22 and 23 exerting an opposite thrust to hat exerted by counterweights 24 and 25 thus tending to open these doors. When the weight of the laundry exceeds a predetermined amount, the thrustthus exerted will cause doors 22 and 23 to swing open.
The laundry will then fall downwardly into the temcounterweights 7 and8, causing these doors to swing open :and to release the laundry from temporary area 27 to a subsequent processing machine or collecting station. Thus,
the interior of collector assembly 10 is never indirect open communication with the outside environment and the respective sets of doors alternately open and close as a function of the downflowing or fallingfabrics in a cyclic operation. I
It is apparent that the precise measurements may be varied widely depending upon the size of the respective conduits, the weights of the respective counterweights,
and the resulting torques developed as a function of the distance of the lever arms. Normally, the counterweights on the lower doors 3 and 4 will be somewhat less than the counterweights on doors 22 and 23 in order to secure satisfactory operation for the desired predetermined fabric load. One satisfactory unit has an inlet conduit of from about four to twenty inches, as, for example, for about 16". While the preferred adaptation of the assembly is to use a perforated conduit within the housing so as to secure a positive directional flow of the material, the essence of the invention is to utilize two sets of doors operating in a cyclic manner and being actuated by a predetermined amount of material which will accumulate on the upper surfaces thereof. Under these conditions, the assembly may dispense with the perforated conduit and secure separation of the material from the conveying air by having the cross-sectional area of the housing substantially greater than the cross-sectional area of the inlet conduit. The resulting drop in velocity of the air will permit the material to fail downwardly onto the top surface of the closing means.
