Sliver coiler - has corrugated belts to hold the sliver during passage through the machine, so that it does not extend and break

摘要

The mechanism to lay a sliver into a card can includes a plate with a vertical axis and central top entrance. This delivers to an eccentric outlet. The sliver is guided between input and output by a conveyor band, this having teeth on both sides, and driven around sprockets. Pref. the coiler has an input roller pair (6) for the sliver (5) with entrance (4) into the coiler plate (1). This is centred (d) with eccentric output (7) to lay the sliver in loops inside the can (8) as it revolves. The sprockets (9.10.11.12) carry endless belts which are corrugated on both sides, interleaving where the sliver is carried from input (4) to output (7). ADVANTAGE - The sliver is held in the conveyor and also deformed, so that it will not extend and break.
