Title: Improvements in and relating to Rollers for use in Preparing, Combing, Spinning, Doubling, Twisting and other Machinery for the Treatment of Fibrous Materials
Inventor: HUTCHINS FREDERICK
Filed: 1904-11-11
Granted: 1905-11-11
Abstract: 24,463. Hutchins, F. Nov. 11. Rollers and drums; metal, sheet, seaming and joining.-Relates to the manufacture of fluted or corrugated rollers for preparing, combing, spinning, doubling, and twisting frames, machines for covering wire and other cores with fibrous material, &c. The invention is stated to be valuable in machines of the kind described in Specifications Nos. 6601 and 6602, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Spinning]. The roller consists essentially of a thin fluted or corrugated shell or tube of steel, phosphor bronze, vulcanized fibre, &c., which may be covered with parchment paper &c., supported upon a core of more or less resilient material such as rubber, cloth, leather, paper, or a composition containing sawdust, cork, &c. The corrugated tube may be formed by passing a plain tube through suitable dies, or by forming into a tube a piece of sheet metal which has been previously corrugated. Various means are described for securing together the ends of such a sheet in the formation of the tube. Fig. 3 shows the ends secured together by means of a strip of sheet metal bent as shown in Fig. 4, the resilient core c of india-rubber being slotted to accommodate the strip d. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the abutting ends of the strip are gripped at each end of the roller by staple-shaped fastenings d. Or a fastening-strip h, Figa. 12, 13, and 14, having prongs k punched from it so as to project at right-angles, is applied to the abutting edges of the strip, so that the prongs k may be passed through apertures in the ends of the strip and clinched. In Fig. 8, the corrugated tube a is shown mounted upon a rigid core c and with its ends secured in an undercut recess therein by means of a packing wire or strip d. Fig. 1 shows a roller in which the whole of the space between the shaft b and the shell a is filled with resilient material such as india-rubber. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the indiarubber core c does not enter the flutes of the shell, while in Fig. 7 the resilient core is shown partly entering the flutes of the shell. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 9, the shell is mounted on a resilient core and the flutes are strengthened by means of a filling material e of paper pulp, cement, &c., which in that shown in Fig. 11 is replaced by metal rods or bars g. In Fig. 10 the shell is shown covered with parchment paper f, there being between the shell and the rigid core b one or more layers c of cloth, while in Fig. 15 the shell is shown mounted on discs c of resilient material. In order to prevent the flutes of the rollers from penetrating too deeply into one another, the rollers may be fitted with side collars l, Fig. 17, which may be toothed, or the grooves or flutings may be less deep at the ends than in the middle, or the roller may be so corrugated that the diameter of the middle portion n, Fig. 21, may be smaller than the end portions o.
