T0 all 1071/077@ t ntoty concern,.-
Be itknown that I, ISHMAEL HEY, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of Lower Laithe, Oakworth, near Keighley, in the county'of York, England, have invented certain new and usefulrlmprovements in Machines for Combing Wool and other Fibrous Substances, of which the following is a speci-V tication.
This inventionrelates to machines for combing wool and other fibrous substances of the class usually styled FNobles combs, wherein one circular comb runs or operates in contiguity with another to comb the fibers under treatment; and my said invention consists in the application to these machines of means whereby the fibrous substances 'are supplied to and forced down into theinte-rstices intervening between the teeth of said combs without necessitating the employment of reciproeating brushes or other devices which quickly deteriorate by use, and this object is attained by forming or constructing these devices as illustrated by the accompanying sheets of drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan of one side of a combingmachine, showing one of the small combs which operates in contiguity with the larger one, a similar small comb being arranged to operate at the opposite side of said larger comb in the well-known manner,while mounted in proximity therewith are my improved devices. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of parts illustrated by Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan of portions of said combs and illustrates by thickcned lines the positions of my improved parts relatively with the rows of pins ortceth of said combs. seen in the direction indicated by the' arrow of parts shown by Fig. 3. thecombsareindicatedbybrokenlines. Figs. 5 and G are side and top views, respectively,
of a lever and parts `for operating in connec-4 tion with the outer rows of pins or teeth on` lar views to Figs. 7 and 8, respectively, but illustrate a modication thereof, for certain Fig. 4 is aside elevation, as
The teeth of` purposes hereinafter described. Figs. 3 to 14, l
inclusive, are drawn to an enlarged scale as compared with Figs.`1 and 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views.
In carrying my invention into effect I arrange series of blades a, b, and c, having their lower edges at an angle to the horizontal plane and to the teeth d of the combs f g, as shown by Fig. 4, and these` blades I mount between and in proximity with the rows of teeth d, so that the blades a in the outer or larger comb f may occupy positions therein relatively with each other, as shown by Fig.
S-that is to say, those of said series of blades d which occupy positions more nearly approaching the ou ter edge of the circular comb fare placed or mounted in advance of those approaching the inner edge of same, the series of blades b being similarly mounted to intervene between the several rows of teeth d of the small circular comb g, while the series of blades c are mounted in the larger comb j' in the positions shown by Fig. 3 for the purpose hereinafter described. All the series of blades a, b, and c are held or secured by the stationary bearings p,ixed upon the pillar s, forming partof the machines framework, as is Well understood.
The outermost blade ctx is mounted on the outside of the outermost row of teeth d, and the guard-plate h is shaped so that as the wool or ibrous substance 7c is brought by the feed-boxes on. overthe top of same in the wellknown manner to be fed to the combf it is first brought into contact with this blade ax, which as it passes beneath presses it down into the interstices intervening between the outermost row of teeth d, so that these are thus enabled to carry it (said wool) with them and force it beneath the next blade, which will press it down into the interstices 'of the next row of teeth, and so the successive actions of the blades and teeth are continued4 untilV the wool is brought under the actions of the series of blades b, which press itinto the interstices of the teeth d in thea'cljoin'ing circle g in the same manner'as is described in connection with the blades a.
The actions of the blades a are arranged to be such as only to press the wool suciently into the teeth cl to enable them to carry or force it along with them, while to effect its movement to the proper depth therein the series of blades c are employed and made of sufficient dimensions to effect this result. The employment of the two series of blades Ct c for eecting the placing of the Wool into the comb f is to enable this to be performed and yet to keep said wool straight and from being creased, as would be the case if it were pressed to the proper depth at one operation, while the blades b may press it to the proper depth into the comb g without causing any such creases, for the reason that less woolhas thus to be acted upon at this part. As is shown by Fig. 3, the last blade of the series a to act upon the wool is mounted in position on the comb j', so that While it presses such Wool upon the last row of teeth cl in said comb f it also presses it into the first row on the comb g in order to enable these to carry it beneath their first blade as desired. This arrangement of the teeth of the several series causes the bers to be depressed gradually into the combs, the first blades of the series a rst acting on the fibers adjacent to the boxes m and then the smaller blades of the series c, partially depressing the outer ends of the fibers, and then the blades of the series c and b fully depressing the outer ends of the bers between the teeth or pins of the combsfand g, respectively.
The outermost blade ctx, as well as the next two adjoining it, are mounted upon the lever-arm t, which is secured to the shaft u, mounted to swivel on the bearings p, so that by the lever lv, secured to said shaft tt and carrying the sliding catch w, which in an ordinary way holds the lever w' against the force of the spring to2, it (said lever-arm t) may when raised release the lever w to enable this latter to cause the belt-guide@ to move and bring the driving-belt from the fast to the loose pulley, from which it will be seen that should any Asubstance be supplied or passed beneath the vblade ax and the others vcarried by said lever that could not be forced down by them upon the teethd would cause a stoppage of the machine by raising such lever t to release the lever fw', above described.
The guard-plate h is cutaway so that the wool may be brought -beneath the inclined blades a and into contact with the teeth d of thecomb f prior to the point of tangential contact of the combs f g, yet said guard-plate his continued or extended to cover the smaller comb g at the part prior to the said point of contact. Thus the wool is prevented from entering the interstices of the teeth in said comb `g untilthe proper part is reached, so that all the extending ends of the fibrous substances being treated, which reach beyond the teeth in the comb f, are received by the comb g without any part thereof being forced down between the two sets of teeth in said combs f g to any extent that might prevent same from being properly combed or treated.
For treating certain classes of fibrous substances, such as coarse Wool or mohair, I find that instead of the blades ct being stationary they may be displaced by a series of rotary disks a2, as shown by Figs. 13 and 14:, in which case peripheries of such disksmay be slightly serrated and by the movements of the fibrous substances beneath them rotate to force same down upon the pins'as desired.
Having thus described the nature and object of my invention, what I claim isl. A combing-machine comprising in its construction a comb and a series of inclined blades of varying length, the shorter ones being mounted to depress the fibers into the comb after the action of the longer blades and at points nearer the outer or free ends of the fibers.
2. A combing-machine comprising in its construction an outer comb and an inner comb, and a series of inclined blades of varying length, the shorter ones being mounted to depress the fibers into the comb aff-er the action of the longer blades and at points nearer the outer or free ends of the bers.
In combing machinery of' the class described, circular combs mounted to rotate in contiguity with each other, liber-depressing blades of Varying length mounted in positions relatively with the several rows of teeth to gradually and successively depress the fibers into said combs, and a guard-plate'cut away to allow the fibrous substances to be brought into contact with the comb arranged rst to receive it and extended at the proper part to also allow the ber to be brought into contact with the teeth of the next or succeeding comb substantially as herein specified.
4. In combing machinery of the class described,the combination with circular combs mounted to rotate in contiguity with each other, of fiber-depressing blades of varying length mounted to gradually and successively force the fibrous substances upon the teeth of the combs, and lever-arms and connections for releasing` the power from the machine.
A combing-machine comprising in its construction circular combs operative in con tiguity with each other and a series of fiberdepressors mounted and relatively arranged to gradually and successively depress the fibers into the combs, said depressors first acting on the fibers at points distantfrom their free ends and then at points nearer the outer ends of the fibers, substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I have afxed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
