CARDlNG-ENGINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 511,749, dated January 2, 1894.

Application filed December 13, 1892. Serial No. 455,102. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ERNsT BRUNO BOHLE, a sub ect of the King of Saxony, and a resident of VVerdau, in the Kingdom of Saxony, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carding-Engines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

In carding engines the carded material detached from the same by the comb, has hitherto been run off onto endless cloths or drums and then formed to a more or less thick fleece as the case may be; the said carded material being taken off the engine lengthwise and in its full width and either transported thus to the next engine or rolled into slivers.

Now by my present invention I do not proceed 1n the manner above described, but by means of certain mechanism more particularly described hereinafter, I cause certain lengths of the staple to be cut or torn off evenly in strips and delivered onto a table or endless band, moving transversely to the directionof the carded material coming from the engine. By this means the carded material is delivered from the engine in strips having the staple transverse to their length, such strlps belng then formed to slivers or taken on to the next carding machine.

In order to make this specification more eas1ly intelligible reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of the same, and in which similar letters denote si milar parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a carding engine on my improved system. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows a part side elevation with the beater about to cutoff a strip of the carded material and lay the same on the transversely moving table. Fig. 4c shows a side elevation with the beater in the act of cutting off the strip. Fig. 5 shows the beater retiring to its original position after having out off the strip. Fig. (3 shows the beater in its position of rest.

The carded material 13' detached from the carding drum A by the comb B, passes onto the table or endless cloth or band C (for which alsoa series of rolls maybe substituted). One roll of this endless band or table runs in fixed bearings P P, while the second P is mounted in a frame P pivotally attached at P P and has its arms lengthened to form bearings at R R for the counter pressure roll T. By means of this arrangement the Whole table 0 may be swung on its pivots in PP by means of the crank disk D and connecting rod M.

A beater F is pivotally mounted underneath the table 0 and provided with a toothed segment K which engages in a larger toothed segment II also pivotally mounted in the same standard as the segment K and actuated by a rod L and eccentric E from the main driving shaft of the engine. Thebeater F is thus caused to describe a semicircle intermittently backward and forward and at each movement forward the same will strike off or detach a strip of the carded material about equal to its own width, as the latter descends from the carding drum A. A receiving carrier table or endless band G is provided, which moves in a direction transverse to that of the carded material coming from the engine. This carrier or endless band may be driven by means of pulleys and belts or any other suitable gearing, from the main driving shaft of the engine.

The apparatus works in the following manner:lVhen the end of the table 0 is in its lowest position,the beater F has already commenced its movement from the position shown in Fig. 6 and is about to strike off the strip of carded material as shown in Fig. 3. Immediately the piece has been detached the table 0 commences to rise again, while the beater F deposits the detached piece on the carrier G. (Fig. 4.) The table 0 continues to rise and in spite of the fact that the staple is continually issuing downward from the carding ,drum, between the end of the table 0 and the roll T, the height to which the end of the said table 0 moves is sufficient to allow the free passage of the beater underneath the end of the carded material to its position of rest. shown in Fig. 6, it is now ready to strike off the next strip on the subsequent descent of the end of the table 0. The strips of carded material detached will thus be laid stepwise on the transversely moving table G [Fig 2] (Fig. 5.) Having attained the position with the staple lying in a direction transverse to that of the material coming from themachine and may then be rolled to slivers or conducted to the next carding engine by means of the ordinary transport devices as shown at 2.

I claim as my invention 1. In a cardingengine, the combination of an intermittently actuated beater to strike said table and means for actuating the said beater intermittently backward and forward 1n the manner and for the purpose substantially as described. 7

3. The combination of the endless band forming the table 0 stationary bearingsP P, to support one of the rolls of said endless band a frame P pivotally attached at P P, a roll P and counterpressure roll T mounted in said frame, a crank disk D on the driving shaft and connections from the crank disk to the movable end of the table 0, a beater F pivotally mounted as specified and having a toothed segment K, a segment 11 to engage said segment K, eccentric E and rod L to actuate the segment H and means for transporting the strips cut off substantially as described.

4. The combination of the pivotally attached table 0, means for actuating the same, the beater F pivotally mounted underneath said table, means for intermittently moving the said beater in a semicircle backward and forward,an endless band or table G mounted on rolls to run transversely to the direction of the carded material coming from the engine and means to actuate said table or band G substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses. v
