Abstract
An apparatus for supplying fibers to a filling tool of a brush-making machine is provided. The apparatus includes a slide positioned between a stationary multiple fiber magazine and a bundle remover. The slide has a number of loading spaces for the purpose of moving fibers from the channels of the fiber magazine to the bundle remover. The removal of the fibers from the fiber magazine to the bundle remover is accomplished by first pushing a number of fibers from the magazine into one of the loading spaces on the slide and then moving the filled loading space to a position adjacent the bundle remover. The fibers in the loading space are then pushed into the bundle remover by a separate pusher attachment.
Claims17
An apparatus for loading a supply of fiber into the removal opening of a bundle remover of a filling tool of a brush making machine, comprising:
- a fiber magazine having a plurality of fiber channels for holding several units of fiber and having a discharge end;
- means for removing one unit of fiber from the fiber magazine comprising a slide reciprocably movable between the discharge end of the fiber magazine and the removal opening of the bundle remover and having a plurality of loading spaces, each loading space being adapted to receive the unit of fiber;
- and
- means for inserting each removed unit of fiber into the removal opening of the bundle remover at a substantially uniform pressure, the inserting means comprising a pusher attachment selectively reciprocally movable in the direction of the removal opening of the bundle remover and positioned relative to the removal opening of the bundle remover such that a loading space of the slide is movable between the pusher attachment and the removal opening of the bundle remover, whereby, when a loading space having fibers therein is moved between the pusher attachment and the removal opening, the pusher attachment is moved toward the removal opening to push the fibers in the loading space into the bundle remover.
