Abstract
A device for aligning cops which withdraws them in bulk from a storage bin consisting of a substantially horizontal conveyor belt which discharges the cops onto a second elevating conveyor belt, which acts as a first spacing means. After the second elevating conveyor belt, the cops are further spaced out by two conveyor belts and are delivered one at a time along their axis into a collection chamber, from which they reach the usage means by passing over a sloped collection surface.
Claims14
A device for aligning cops which withdraws them in bulk comprising a substantially horizontal first removal conveyor belt, an upwardly sloped second elevator conveyor belt bearing a plurality of series of staggered projections which receives the discharge from said first belt, an intermediate storage point between said removal conveyor and said sloped second elevator conveyor, a substantially horizontal third collection conveyor belt positioned across and below the unloading edge of said second elevator conveyor belt, a substantially horizontal fourth exit conveyor belt positioned below said third collection conveyor belt being parallel thereto and vertically staggered therefrom, a vertically sloped connecting conveyor which joins the entrance of said horizontal exit conveyor belt to the exit from said collection conveyor belt, a collection chamber positioned at the exit from said horizontal exit conveyor belt, said collection chamber having a means for restricting the exiting of cops and a lower movable surface, and a sloped collection surface with a means for restricting the entry of said cops onto said collection surface, which means governs the functioning of the movable surface.
A device for aligning cops which withdraws them in bulk comprising a substantially horizontal first removal conveyor belt, an upwardly sloped second elevator conveyor belt bearing a plurality of series of staggered projections which receives the discharge from said first belt, an intermediate storage point between said removal conveyor and said sloped second elevator conveyor, a retaining chute between the removal conveyor belt and that part of the elevator conveyor belt which is positioned below said removal conveyor belt, a plurality of striker means, which pivot between the lower edge of the chute and the surface of the elevator conveyor belt and which cooperate with said chute in the retaining action, a substantially horizontal third collection conveyor belt positioned across and below the unloading edge of said second elevator conveyor belt, a substantially horizontal fourth exit conveyor belt positioned below said third collection conveyor belt being parallel thereto and vertically staggered therefrom, a vertically sloped connecting conveyor which joins the entrance of said horizontal exit conveyor belt to the exit from said collection conveyor belt, a collection chamber positioned at the exit from said horizontal exit conveyor belt, said collection chamber having a means for restricting the exiting of cops and a lower movable surface, and a sloped collection surface with a means for restricting the entry of said cops onto said collection surface.
