Apparatus for depositing sliver into a sliver can

摘要

An apparatus for depositing sliver into a sliver can is comprised of a rotary turntable for supporting a sliver can. A cylinder having a piston slidable therein is vertically disposed beneath the center line of the turntable. A pressing rod is connected to the piston and a pressing plate is rotatably mounted on the top end of said pressing rod for engagement with a bottom plate of the can which is freely supported therein. An axial lost motion connection is provided between the pressing plate and the pressing rod and a coil spring is connected between the turntable and the pressing rod to couple the turntable and pressing rod plate together for rotation and for urging the turntable and pressing plate apart.
