Patent GB-189824483-A (GB)
Title: Process and Apparatus for Combing or Opening and Removing Impurities such as Burrs, Noil, and the like from Fibrous Material, such as Wool, Mohair, Cashmere, Alpaca, Camel Hair, and the like, and for Sorting the same according to their Quality.
Inventor: DELERUE CHARLES
Filed: 1898-11-19
Granted: 1899-08-12
Abstract: 24,483. Delerue, C. Nov. 19. Openers &c. ; burring-apparatus ; separating or sorting fibres.-Wool, mohair, cashmere, alpaca, camel hair, and other fibrous materials are opened, cleaned, combed, and sorted by an apparatus such as that shown in the Figures. The material is fed by an apron a to a series of revolving combs b, having rows of teeth each provided with a loose bar, which by means of a fixed cam-groove e is caused to slide along the teeth as the comb revolves and so facilitate the removal of the fibre from the pins. The transfer of the fibre from one comb to another is assisted by similar combs f arranged above and between the larger ones. From the last comb b, the material is transferred by the brushes hand i to the first of a series of combs l, above which is a rapidly-revolving brush m enclosed in a casing p. Each comb l consists of a fluted drum along the ridges of which are arranged pins or teeth. The drum is entirely stripped by the brush m, and the heavier impurities are propelled by centrifugal force into the portion n of the casing p, along which they are forced sideways by a current of air from a pipe o and collected in a suitable receptacle. The fibrous material in the air current created by the brush m is collected by the perforated drum q, and transferred by a brush r to a second revolving comb l, when the abovedescribed operations are repeated, as many sets of combs l and brushes m being used as desired. From the last perforated drum q the material may be collected in the form of a sliver, or it may be projected from the last brush into a large chamber, when the fibres will be graded or sorted according to their relative densities. In a modification, the material is fed by an apron, rollers, and brushes to a revolving comb, brush, and perforated drum arrangement similar to l, m, and q, from which it is passed by a pair of bristle fans to two parallel sets or trains of apparatus, each comprising several sets of apparatus, each made up of a pair of feedrollers, a comb, and a brush all arranged on vertical axes.
