Title: Improvements in Feeding and Tension Mechanism for Paper and like Tube Machines.
Inventor: HARBECK JERVIS RALPH
Filed: 1907-04-16
Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 8816. Harbeck, J. R. April 16. Paper and like tubes.-Relates to means for regulating the supply of material in paper and fibrous-material tube machines according to the requirements of the winding-mechanism, and to means for storing or taking up the excess of material which accumulates between the winding periods when the mandrel works intermittently and the supply roll of material rotates continuously. The band A of material passes from the supply roll through the coating-mechanism and over guide-rollers (not shown), between the feed-rollers 18, 19, round the rollers 20, 26, and then to the shearing and winding mechanism (not shown). The rollers 18, 19 are geared together at one end. At the other end the roller 18 is driven from the friction disk 35 through gear-wheels 37, 38. The roller 20 is carried by chains 22, its weight keeping it normally in the position shown. A friction wheel 34 feather-keyed to a shaft 32 driven at constant speed is adapted to be moved across and in contact with the face of the friction disk 35 by means of a depending fork 43 actuated by a rack 46 gearing with a pinion on the shaft 26 to which the chainwheels 24 are fixed. When the rotation of the mandrel increases the tension in the band A, the roller 20 is raised, the chain 22 moving the wheels 24 and actuating the rack 46 so as to move the wheel 34 towards the centre of the disk 35, thus gradually increasing the speed of the feed-rollers 18, 19. When the accumulated material is sufficient to allow the roller 20 to descend to the position shown, the wheel 34 is moved clear of the disk 35 and the feed-rollers 18, 19 stop, thus preventing the band A from touching the floor.
