Title: Improvements in or relating to a process and device for converting a continuous tow of artificial filaments into a sliver comprising staple lengths
Inventor: STEWART IAN FRASER
IPC: D01G1/04
Filed: 1952-10-20
Abstract: 730,218. Stapling fibres ; textile combing- machines. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. Aug. 14, 1953 [Oct. 20, 1952], No. 26238/52. Classes 120(1) and 120(3). A process for the conversion of a tow of filaments into a sliver of staple fibre comprises repetition of a cycle of operations of combing from the free end in steps of progressively greater length a forwardly metered length of tow, cutting the combed length to staple length and forwardly metering, as measured from the cut end, a sufficient length of tow for combing and cutting to staple length. The machine shown comprises an endless conveyer 11 carried on and driven at a steady speed through wheels 13 and 14 and mounting, by pivoted links 12, flat plates 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, to all except 10 of which are fixed strips of card wire-clothing 17 : the strip on plate 1 is the shortest, that on plates 8 and 9 are equal and slightly larger than the staple length, and intermediate strips are intergraded in length. In operation the plate 10 initially lies beneath a dabber 23 and tow 22 passes through feed rollers 18 and 20 until the free end is at the edge of the dabber remote therefrom. While the feed rollers then remain stationary, the dabber 23 descends each time a plate passes just beyond its edge and presses on to the clothing 17 the tow, increasing lengths of which are combed by successive strips. When the combed tow has been partly drawn through the wire on plate 9, an electrically operated barber's hair clipper 24 descends and severs the end staple lengths or tuft 26 which is carried away by the plate 9 with its trailing end overhanging plate 10 : as the plate 9 moves around the wheel 13 the free end of the tuft 26 falls and is received by a conveyer 27 and is held thereon by a swinging bar 28 : the plate 9 recedes to complete its combing action, the bar 28 lifts, and the conveyer 27 moves a short distance in readiness for the next tuft, the assembly 32 of overlapping tufts being fed forward by delivery rollers, Fig. 2 (not shown). Feed rollers 18 and 20 run to replace the cut length of tow and the cycle of operations recommences. A pinned clearing device 33 reciprocates continuously to free the clothing 17 from the waste fibre.

Abstract: 532,980. Hydraulic intensifiers. E.M.B. CO., Ltd., and SMITH, S. Sept. 28, 1939, No. 26801. [Class 69 (ii)] A hydraulic intensifier of the kind actuated by compressed air and which is especially applicable for use in connection with riveting &c. machines comprises a cylinder a, in which works the piston f operated by compressed air against the action of a spring g, and coaxial with the cylinder a are a low power hydraulic cylinder b and a high power cylinder c which is connected by a pipe 3 to the cylinder 4 of the riveting &c. press. A rod h attached to the piston f is connected to a piston k in the low pressure cylinder, and to a piston j which moves in the high pressure cylinder c. On the initial descent of the piston f the liquid forced by the piston k can pass through a non-return valve n into the chamber c, and there is a big outflow of liquid at low pressure through the chamber c. When the load is applied to piston 5 the valve n closes under the high pressure in chamber c. During this movement the liquid can pass from chamber b through a relief valve u controlling passages o in the piston k into a relief chamber d. On the reverse movement the liquid flows back into the chamber b from the chamber d through passages controlled by a valve 2. In a modification the lower end of chamber b is connected directly to the top of cylinder 4 through a non-return valve in a conduit which is joined by the outlet of chamber c at a point beyond this valve. A throttle adjustable by a screw controls the flow of liquid from the high power cylinder c, and this screw throttle is byepassed by a pipe which permits a ready return of the liquid through a non-return valve.
