Title: Improvements in and connected with Carding Engines.
Inventor: PICKFORD JAMES
Filed: 1908-10-29
Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 22,985. Pickford, J. Oct. 29. Rope gearing; belt forks, operating.-The cylinder of a carding-engine is normally driven through a rope-drive also adapted to drive in the reverse direction during grinding. The arrangement comprises three pulleys b, c, d, Figs. 1 and 2, on the cylinder shaft, the pulley c being fixed to the shaft and the other two being loose upon it. The endless rope g normally passes around the pulley c over the carrier pulley f and back around the pulley d. When it is desired to reverse the direction of rotation, the rope is moved from the pulley c on to the pulley band from the pulley d on to the pulley c. This is accomplished by projections o, n on arms k, m of a lever k fulcrumed about the shaft a ; these projections enter the grooves of the pulleys c, d, and by a rocking motion of the lever, first to the right and then to the left, move the rope into the required position. A second lever i carrying projections p, q is provided to move the rope in the reverse direction when the grinding is completed. The carrier pulley may be dispensed with, and open and crossed belts used instead. A brake block h may be provided to act on the fast pulley. The tension of the driving-rope g acting through a catch s carried by the bracket e and engaging a projection t on the cylinder door may be utilized to keep the door locked while the carding-engine is working. An alternative arrangement comprises two pulleys mounted to rotate loosely on the shaft and a friction or other clutch to render either of the pulleys operative. The pulleys b, d, Fig. 4, are provided with surfaces w, v to co-operate with the faces u, t of the friction clutch and are slidable along the shaft a. The pulley d is locked in engagement with the clutch by a spring-controlled catch 7 contained in a slot in the shaft. A lever 2 is pivoted to a bracket z and carries blocks engaging a groove in the boss of the pulley d. On moving the lever 2 outwards a sleeve 5 is caused to slide along a shaft a and release the catch 7, further motion of the lever 2 serving to carry the pulley d away from the clutch. The pulley b is moved by a lever, pivoted on a pin 10, which is carried by the bracket z, and has a projection to engage the groove 12 in the pulley boss.
