Abstract
A textile card cleaning apparatus is provided which comprises a plurality of suction hoods disposed within the arcuate chamber defined by the continuous belt of flats disposed above the main cylinder of a textile card. The plurality of suction hoods is adapted so as to draw cotton dust and lint both from the arcuate chamber wherein they reside and up between the flats from the working space between the main cylinder of the textile card and the lower operative run of flats adjacent thereto. The cotton dust and lint is then drawn off to a remote location by suction means fluidly communicating with the plurality of suction hoods.
Claims14
In combination with a textile card having a main cylinder, a plurality of flats disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis of said main cylinder in an arcuate continuous belt above the surface of a portion of the circumference of said main cylinder, said belt comprising a lower operative run movable adjacent the surface of a portion of the circumference of said main cylinder so as to form a working space therebetween and a higher inoperative run movable in the opposite direction and in a radially spaced-apart relationship to the lower run, the lower operative run and the higher inoperative run of the continuous belt of flats defining an arcuate open space therebetween, a card cleaning system for removing cotton dust and lint comprising:
- a plurality of suction hoods disposed within said arcuate open space adjacent to the lower operative run of said flats and adapted to pull the dust and lint from said arcuate space and from between said flats and the working space therebeneath during the lower operative run thereof;
- and suction means fluidly communicating with said plurality of suction hoods for removing the cotton dust and lint from the textile card to a remote location.
In combination with a textile card having a main cylinder, a plurality of flats disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis of said main cylinder in an arcuate continuous belt above the surface of a portion of the circumference of said main cylinder, said belt comprising a lower operative run movable adjacent the surface of a portion of the circumference of said main cylinder so as to form a working space therebetween and a higher inoperative run movable in the opposite direction in a radially spaced-apart relationship to the lower run, the lower operative run and the higher inoperative run of the continuous belt of flats defining an arcuate open space therebetween, a card cleaning system for removing cotton dust and lint, comprising:
- a plurality of enclosed suction hoods disposed within said arcuate open space adjacent to the lower operative run of said flats and having a plurality of open, spaced-apart, longitudinal slots in the bottom surface thereof adjacent to the lower operative run of flats for pulling cotton dust and lint from said arcuate space and from between said flats and the working space therebeneath during the lower operative run of said flats;
- and suction means fluidly communicating with said plurality of suction hoods for transporting the cotton dust and lint from the textile card to a remote location.
