Title: Improvements in or connected with Apparatus for Locking the Doors or Covers of Carding Engine Cylinders.
Inventor: BARDSLEY HARRY
IPC: D01G31/00
Filed: 1910-04-09
Granted: 1911-04-10
Abstract: 8575. Bardsley, H. April 9. [Cognate Applications, 13,363/10 and 23,528/10.] Guards, controlling. - In a door-locking device for carding-engines, a shaft a, Fig. 3, is mounted alongside the casing and carries two cam-disks, one interlocking with the door and the other, g, Fig. 3, acting to lock the shaft against rotation during running. For this purpose, a right-angled lever h is pivoted, as shown, and carries a tumbler catch i movable between stops o, u. Any turning of the shaft a from the position shown allows the lever h to fall, so that the end of the catch i meets the pulley rim. If this is running, the catch is knocked up, bringing the lever h down far enough to lock the cam g on the first notch k; but, if the pulley is at rest, the shaft can be turned as far as the second notch k<1>. In the latter position, the first-mentioned cam-disk d, Fig. 1, allows the door to be opened, whereupon the quadrant arm e locks the cam d, and keeps the belt on the loose pulley by an arm p, also mounted on the shaft a. The arm p may be fixed, or, as shown, adjustable in a U-shaped slot with short and long arms s, t for stripping and grinding respectively. For the latter operation the cam d is released by moving a catch y, so that it may be slid down to the lower stop b, and the shaft can then be turned to release the belt, leaving the door open. The cam d may be mounted on the shaft by means of a thumb-screw and slot for the same purpose. In another form, shown in Fig. 6, an arm a<1> attached to the door takes behind the cam d and has a pivoted arm b<1> resting upon it. When the door has been opened for grinding, the arm b<1> limits the motion of the cam d until the door has been closed. In a further modification, in which the cam d is not used, the door is linked to a sleeve h<2>, Fig. 10, sliding on the shaft a and having a keyway h<3> adapted to fit a key h<1>. A second key g<2> slides in a keyway in the boss of the strap arm p. To open the door, the shaft a must be turned until the key h<1> is opposite the keyway h<3>, in doing which the arm p is moved so as to hold the belt on the loose pulley. For grinding, after the door has been opened, the arm p is slid off the key g<2> into the space between the keys, so that the arm hangs loose.
