FLIER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 682,556, dated September 10, 1901.
Application filed April 1901.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM ALBERT Ln- HAN,a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of New Bedford, in the county 5 of Bristol and State of Massachusettshave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fliers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to the fliers used on slubbing-machines in cotton -mills; and its object is to remove any bunches which may be in the sliver or bits of shell or dirt which may adhere to it and prevent the same from being wound upon the spool, and thus cause trouble and waste in the further process of spinning.
To this end my invention consists in providing a narrow slot or opening through which the sliver is caused to pass before it reaches the eye in the presser-foot, one side of said narrow opening having a sharp edge and being adjustable in order that the said opening may be made narrower or wider, as desired.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a iiier such as is used in a slulobingmachine, shbwing the presser-foot provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a top view of a portion of the presser-foot provided with my improvement.
Similar letters refer to like parts in both views.
The letter ct represents one of the fliers of a slubbingmachine, and b represents the presser-foot of the same.
The letter c represents my improvement, which is composed of metal or other suitable material, secured to the presser-foot and have ing asharpedge adapted to be adjusted to or from the outside surface of the presserfoot and is designed to act as a scraper to remove bunches and particles of shell and dirt from the sliver.
The device is secured to the presser-foot in such a manner that the sharp edge e shall be practically at right angles to the draft of the sliver and between the eye g in the presser- Serial No. 56,566. (No model.)
foot and the 'point from whence the sliverY is delivered to said eye.
The device is preferably made of brass, having a fiat portion h, which is soldered or otherwise secured to the presser-foot, and a curving portion extending over the eye g, the free end of said device c being provided with a sharp edge e.
For convenience in introducing the sliver to the eye the device c is provided with a lip or projection l, rising above the upper edge of the presser-foot b. The curving portion of the device c allows the edge e to be adjusted to or from the surface of the presser-foot by bending.
In operation, the device being adjusted, as shown, the sliver is adjusted in the eye of the, presser-foot in the usual manner, andas it is wound upon the spool is drawn through the narrow opening between the edge e and the surface of the presser-foot, thereby flattening it and causing the greater part, if not all, of the shell and dirt adhering to it to be scraped therefrom by the edge e. If'a bunch in the sliver comes along which the edge will not remove, the sliver is broken at that point and the operative clears away the bunch and pieces up the sliver in the usual manner.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat= ent, is
l. In a flier of a slubbing-machine, a scraper arranged between the eye in the presser-foot and the point from whence the sliver is delivered to the said eye.
2. In a flier of a slubbing=machine, a scraper arranged between the eye in the presser-foot and the point from whence the sliver is de# livered to the said eye, one side of said scraper having a sharpened edge to engage the sliver;
3. Inaflier of as1ubbing-'machine,` ascraper arranged between the eye in the presser-foot and the point from whence the sliver is delivered to the said eye, one side of said scraper having a sharp edge and capable of being adjusted to or from the presser-foot. l
