Abstract
There is provided herein an automatic can changing device for spinning preparation machines such as for drawing frames, carding or combing machines in which a stationary conveyor is provided that is associated with a fiber lap delivery station, with mechanism for removing empty cans from the conveyor and presenting them to the fiber lap delivery station for the filling operation and thereafter removing these filled cans from the fiber lap delivery station and depositing them in an intermediate station preparatory for introduction to movable carriages also being shown.
Claims13
A can changing apparatus for a silver collecting machine wherein the operation of loading and unloading stations is exchangeable comprising:
- means defining a filling station for supporting silver cans in a position to be filled;
- a straight conveyor path slightly wider than the silver can diameter extending parallel to said filling station;
- means defining an intermediate station for temporary storage of full cans on the other side of said path from said filling station as they are removed from the conveyor path;
- first conveyor means for advancing empty cans along said path and into position directly in front of said filling station;
- full-can receiving cart means positioned adjacent and on the opposite side of said intermediate station from said path;
- rotatable second conveyor means at said filling station for moving filled cans first from said filling station to said path, next through said path to said intermediate station and then onto said full-can receiving cart means, and for moving empty cans from said path to said filling station;
- third conveyor means associated with said empty-can cart means for transferring empty cans from said empty-can cart means to said straight conveyor path, all of said conveyor means operated in timed relation to each other.
A can changing apparatus for a silver collecting machine wherein the operation of loading and unloading stations is exchangeable comprising:
- means defining a filling station for supporting a pair of silver cans in a position to be filled;
- a straight conveyor path slightly wider than the silver can diameter extending parallel to and outwardly from opposite ends of said filling station;
- means defining an intermediate station for temporary storage of full cans on the other side of said path from said filling station as they are removed from the conveyor path;
- first conveyor means at opposite ends of said path for advancing empty cans along said path toward each other and into position directly in front of said filling station;
- full-can receiving cart means positioned adjacent and on the opposite side of said intermediate station from said path, said full-can receiving cart means being dimensioned to receive two rows of cans thereon;
- rotatable second conveyor means at said filling station to said path, next through said path to said intermediate station and then onto said full-can receiving cart means, and for moving empty cans from said path to said filling station;
- a pair of empty-can cart means positioned adjacent said path and spaced along said path on opposite sides of said full-can receiving cart means;
- and
- third and fourth conveyor means one associated with each of said empty-can car means respectively for transferring pairs of empty cans from said pair of empty-can cart means to said straight conveyor path, all of said conveyor means operating in timed relation to each other.
A can changing apparatus for a silver collecting machine wherein the operation of loading and unloading stations is exchangeable comprising:
- means defining a filling station for supporting sliver cans in a position to be filled;
- a straight conveyor path slightly wider than the silver can diameter extending parallel to said filling stations and conveyor path having a portion adjacent said filling station defining a transit station for alternate temporary storage of empty and filled cans;
- full can receiving cart means positioned adjacent said path on the opposite side of said path from said filling station;
- at least one empty-can cart means, positioned adjacent said path on the side of said path opposite said filling station and spaced along said path from said full-can receiving cart means;
- rotatable conveyor means at said filling station for moving filled cans first from said filling station to said transit station on said path;
- means for moving empty cans from said empty-can cart means to said transit station;
- and
- means for moving full cans from said transit station to said full-can receiving cart means.
