Abstract: 1,138,250. Distributing fibres to a plurality of treating machines. CURLATOR CORP. 28 Dec., 1966 [18 Jan., 1966], No. 57939/66. Heading D1N. Fibres are distributed to a plurality of fibre treating machines 35, particularly carding machines, from a trunk line 30 through which they are drawn by a suction fan 36 by means of pairs of by-pass conduits 41, 48, one pair for each machine, fibres and air being drawn by a suction fan 45 downwardly through conduit 41, the fibres being separated from the air and thence passed to the treatment machine, and the air being returned through conduit 48 to the trunkline 30 upstream of its associated conduit 41. The conduit 41 terminates in a trumpet portion 42 which communicates with a housing 43 in which a foraminuous condenser revolves and is under the action of a suction fan 45. The take-off of air, and with it the quantity of fibres, from the trunk line is self regulating since with trumpet portion 42 empty there will be an inrush of air into conduit 41 due to the full suction effect of fan 45 while when the trumpet is full and compacted with fibres the flow rate of air in 41 will be cut off. The fibres deposited by suction on the condenser 44 are doffed and fed over a feed plate 62 to the lickerin 64 of the card. An adjustable pivoted vane 50 is provided at the return point of conduit 48 for the adjustable directing of the air downstream to avoid turbulence. In modification the downflow conduit 41 leads from the bottom of the trunkline and the conduit 48 feeds into the top of the trunkline (Fig. 6). In Figure 9 each downflow conduit delivers the fibres and air between two oppositely rotating opening rolls 86, 87 to a perforated duct leading to the trumpet portion 42', dirt passing through perforations 105 for collection in tray 106. The fibres are fed to trunkline 30 from two blending feeders. 20 and via a cleaner 24 and a cleaner opener 28 where air is admitted under the action of fan 36, additional air to the air from trunkline 30 may be injected after the cleaner opener 28 (Fig. 8).

Abstract: 1,221,375. Knotting in yarn winding apparatus. L. SAVIO. 6 Dec., 1968 [9 Dec., 1967], No. 58187/68. Heading D1J. A knotting apparatus in a yarn winding machine is constructed such that after the yarn ends F1, F2 have been knotted together the free ends S1, S2 thereof are gripped and said ends are then severed. The specification states that if the severing action is not complete on one or both ends, the gripping action on the unsevered end or ends results in the thread being broken again during its return to the winding apparatus and the ends F1, F2 will then be returned automatically to the knotting apparatus. In Figs. 1 and 3 the yarn ends Fl, F2 are knotted behind a thread guide element 2 and the free ends S1, S2 are moved forwardly into slots 103, 203 on opposite sides of the guide element 2. An upper jaw 15 then descends on the thread ends to clamp them against a lower clamp jaw 14 whilst the ends are severed. Rod 13 is used to rook driving lever 9 to the right against a spring bias. Mounted on lever 9 are a plunger 10 and an actuating member 19. When the lever 9 moves to the right the run-on surface 119 of the member 19 engages a plunger 117 to raise the jaw 15, and thereafter the plunger 10 engages a lever 7 to actuate the knotting mechanism. When the lever 9 rocks back to its original setting the plunger 10 first releases its action on the knotting lever 7, and thereafter the member 19 retracts from the plunger 117 to permit the jaw 15 to clamp the free yarn ends.

Patent GB-640993-A (GB)
Abstract: 640,993. Textile drawing apparatus; weighting arrangements; stop-motions. MACKIE & SONS; Ltd., J., and MACKIE, J. P. July 31, 1947, No. 20868. [Class 120(ii)] A stop-motion operable upon lapping of a roller or choking of elements of a textile drawing head has a member supported near to one of the rollers, so that on occurrence of lap or choke the member is turned by the roller causing its support to move and operate a stop-motion. In one embodiment, Figs. 1 and 2, a pressing roller 3 is spring-urged against a drawing roller 1 and mounted m a fork member 7 pivoted by a pin 10 in the end of a horn bracket 11. The fork member 7 has a lug 22 carrying a pin 21 engagable by a latch 19 pivoted at 20. An eccentric disc or roller 28 is pivoted at 27 on the latch 19 and is normally held in a raised position by a counterweight 29. If laps form on either of rollers 1 or 3, the roller 3 or a lap upon it rotates the disc 28 and raises the latch 19 to depress a stud 25, a lever 14 and cam-face 23. Depression of cam-face 23 moves a lever 30 to open the switch of a power circuit, for example, to stop the drive to the drawing head. If a choke occurs in a conductor 32, an arm 35 is pressed outwards to raise a rear arm which lifts latch 19 thus operating cam-face 23 and lever 30. Instead of being pivotally mounted, the fork member 7 may be slidable on rods to separate the rollers 2, 3 or the fork member may be mounted on rollers movable along sloping guideways. Alternatively, the pressing roller may be mounted in a fixed support, as in Fig. 12. In this case, a lap on rollers 1, 3 will cause rotation of disc 28, thus lifting arms 59. 57 and depressing cam 65. Normally, arm 57 is supported by a conductor 55, but an accumulation of fibres behind the rollers 1, 3 presses the conductor towards the pressing roller to the position shown in Fig. 12 in which the disc 28 may contact the roller 3 and bring about an operation of the stop motion. In another modification, a counter-weighted lever directed towards the roller 3 is used in place of the disc 28. Specification 640,992 is referred to.
