ROVING. AND SPINNING FIBRES
"
This invention relates to improved apparatus applied to machinery for purposes
aforesaid whereby the ordinary carrier rollers and bearings are dispensed with and
an increased "draft" can be obtained from fibre of any given length of staple.
According to this our said invention we dispense with the carrier rollers and 1
place on a rail between the "delivery " and drawing rollers a conical or taper
supporting guide or trough within which the sliver, roving. or "end" of fibres is
received, and by which it is supported and guided from the delivery to the drawing
rollers, the said guide or trough may be semi-circular or pointed at its ends so as
to fit close into the nip of the rollers and where it may be desirable to maintain 1
the usual lateral traverse, the guides or troughs will be mounted upon a longi-
tudinal rail or bar to which by crank or eccentric an endwise to and fro or
reciprocating motion is imparted.
Such being the nature and object of this our said invention we will now proceed
to describe the same in detail and in order that the invention may be clearly
understood have hereunto annexed a sheet of drawings illustrative thereof and
have marked the same with figures of reference like figures referring to the same
parts in the several views of which
Fig. 1 is end view partly in section of part of a drawing frame having our
improvements applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a front view of the delivery rollers and improved apparatus
Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 2
Fig. 4 is a section of delivery and drawing rollers of reducing frame and the
improved apparatus in position between the two.
Figs. 5-6 and 7 are side plan and end views of the improved guide and trough
(drawn about full size) this form being adapted to spinning.
DESCRIPTION.
At A: A. are the delivery bobbins-B. B the delivery rollers-C. the improved
caside or trough within and by which the fibre is supported and guided whilst
