FLEECE-DIVIDING ATTACHMENT FOR CARDlNG-ENGINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 508,148,dated November 7, 1893.

Application filed July 19 1893;

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHANN PETER SCHMITZ, a subject of the King of Prussia, and a resident of Aachen, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fleece- Dividing Attachments for Oarding-Engines,

In the fleece-dividing devices for carding engines used heretofore, two separating rollers and two systems of crossing straps or steel bands were used, between which the fleece was divided.

The object of my invention is to provide a fleece dividing apparatus which only has a single dividing roller, and the straps or steel bands arenot crossed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 are vertical transverse sectional views of different constructions of my improved apparatus for dividing the fleece of carding engines.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

On the smooth dividing rollerA, as many endless straps or bands are arranged side-by side as slivers are to be obtained. These endless straps or bands are alternately guided in different ways accordingly as the slivers of fleece are to be taken off at two or more different points. If the fleece is to be taken ofi at two different points, as shown in Fig. 1, the endless straps of even numbers are guided. in a certain way and the straps of odd numbers in another way. The endless bands or straps of even number a, for example, run from the tension roller 1 arranged adjacent to the combing roller under the roller 12, over the dividing roller A, then under the roller 0, over the roller (1, then again over part of the dividing roller A, under the roller 6, and finally over the roller to the roller 1. The straps or bands of odd numbers run from the roller Z under the roller 1), over part of the roller 6 and pass under said roller e and over the roller f, and then run under the roller is to the roller 1. Corresponding to the endless are arranged, which are fastened on the fixed shaft g. The steel guide-bands above the endless'strap a pass with the same under the Serial No. 480.893. (No model.)

roller 0 to the roller d, whereas the steel guidebands h above the endless straps a pass under the roller 6 and extend over the roller f. The fleece is guided between the endless bands a o, and the steel guidebands hh, and after the same has been disengaged by the knife ,from the combing roller it passes under the roller 1) and upon the endless bands at a, ar-, ranged sideby side, and is carried along by said bands until it passes under the shaft 9 below the steel bands 71 It, so that it is carried along between said steel bands and the endless straps. At the roller 0, the fleece is divided and at this point the endless straps a corresponding to the guide-bands h deliver the fleece between them, in between the conveying device D, whereas the endless straps a, and the steel bands h carry the'fieece between them to the roller e, where they deliver it upon the conveying device*D'.

'In Fig. 2 amodification is shown,in which the fleece is'taken off at a third point corresponding to the endless straps a and the steel bands are divided into three different groups, 71., h, M, in such a manner that the first, fourth, seventh, 850., second, fifth, eighth, &c., endless strap or steel guide-baud is conducted and arranged in the same manner.

The endless straps a run from the rollerlunder the roller 19 upon the dividing roller A, leave the same at the roller 0, pass over the roller d'back to the roller A, to the roller is, andfinally back to the roller 1. The straps a run from the roller Z to the roller 1), upon the dividing roller A, leave the same at the roller 0%, pass under the roller m to the roller 11, and from the roller n under the roller is back to the roller Z. The endless straps a run from the roller Z under the roller 1) upon the dividing roller A, run on the same to the roller 6, pass under the roller 6 upon the rollerf, and from the same over the rollerkback to the roller Z. Oorrespondingly, the steel guide- ...bands It extend from the shaft g to the roller c, and under the same upon the roller d. The steelbands h are carried in the'same way to the rollers m and 7t, and the steel guide-bands k to the rollers'e f. From the rollers d n and f respectively, the fleeeesliver's are delivered to the conveyors D D D respectively. Above the ends of the steel guide-bands, smaller rollers below them.

In Figs. 3 and 4, a modified construction of the apparatus is shown, the steel guidebands being replaced by endless. straps. On the dividing roller A, in Fig. 3 the straps a a'are arranged in the same manner as shown in Fig. 1. Iii-place of the steel guide-t bands h and h, endless bands R R are used. The bands R run over the rollers g c, and

' the loweriparts restbn thetcircumference of.

the dividing roller A. The endless bands R run from the roller 9 over the dividing roller A to the roller 6 and over the rollersp and to the roller g. In Fig. 4, the endless straps a aa? are arranged in the same manner as. in Fig. .2, and the, steel bands h h h are replaced by endless bands R R R The endlessstraps R run over the rollers g c. endless bandsR run from roller g overthe dividing roller A, to the roller m, and from thereback over the roller 0 to the roller 9. Thecndless bands R 'run from the roller-g over the dividing roller, A to the roller e, and i from the same to rollers 10 m and o to the The,

roller g. The two classes of machines operate substantially the same, but in. one. the fleece is conducted between an endless strap or band and a steel band, and in the other between two endless bands.

Having ,thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Anapparatus for dividing the fleece of carding engines, constructed with a single dividing roller and with a series of adjacent straps runningoditferentdistancesover thedividing roller and leaving the dividing roller at points near the respective conveying devices and a guide for the fleece above each of said endless bands or straps,-which*guidesextendto the place where thefleece is to be taken ofi,

and between which guides'and endlessstraps or bandsgthe fleece-isguided. 1
