Estimating the term…
Mechanism for supplying sliver to a resolving roller is adaptable to slivers having different average staple fiber lengths by selectively engaging a plurality of clamping members to provide a selectable nip line between a sliver supply roller and its cooperating member at different distances from the resolving roller corresponding to the sliver average staple length. Either the selected clamping member or the counter member is the supply roller. Selection of the desired nip line may be made by moving one or more clamping members and the counter member relatively, by selection of one of a plurality of feed nozzles, or by selective positioning of a movable feed nozzle. The nip line selection may be effected at individual spinning stations or simultaneously for a plurality of spinning stations.
In a spinning machine having sliver-resolving apparatus including a resolving roller, a first member and a second member cooperating with the first member to form a first sliver-feeding champing nip spaced from the resolving roller at an interval corresponding to the length of long fibers to be spun, one of such members being a driven roller for feeding sliver to the resolving roller, the improvement comprising a third member cooperating with the first member to form a second sliver-feeding champing nip spaced from the resolving roller at an interval corresponding to the length of short fibers to be spun, and selecting means for rendering said second clamping nip active or inactive on sliver being fed to the resolving roller.
In a spinning machine having sliver resolving apparatus including a resolving roller, clamping means and a counter member cooperating to form a nip, the counter member being a driven roller for feeding sliver to the resolving roller, the improvement comprising the clamping means including a leaf spring having a plurality of salient bends forming a plurality of clamping members which clamping members are spaced from the resolving roller at different fiber length intervals, and means for moving the clamping member located closest to the resolving roller out of engagement with the counter member.
In a spinning machine having sliver resolving apparatus including a resolving roller and means for supplying fiber sliver to the resolving roller, the improvement comprising the sliver supply means including a plurality of fiber feeding clamping nips located at different intervals from the resolving roller, which intervals correspond to lengths of fibers to be spun, and selecting means for rendering the nip closest to the resolving roller active or inactive on sliver being supplied by the sliver supply means to the resolving roller.
