Abstract
An apparatus for opening pressed bales of textile fiber comprising spaced grid rods which are adapted to press against the surface of the bale. A toothed disk is mounted on a shaft which extends transversely of the grid rods and is supported to rotate in the space between the grid rods. The toothed disk has a plurality of teeth extending at an angle from the plane in which its central portion lies so that the tips of adjacent teeth revolve in the space between the grid rods in a different orbital path. The paths of the several teeth are adapted to be evenly spaced within the space between the grid rods.
Claims15
An apparatus for opening pressed bales of spinning material such as cotton, synthetic fiber and the like, comprising:
- (a) parallel first and second grid rods spaced a predetermined distance from each other;
- (b) a shaft extending transversely of said grid rods and adjacent thereto;
- and
- (c) a toothed disk having a central portion with an aperture for receiving said shaft, said central portion lying in a plane transverse to the axis of said shaft, said toothed disk being supported by said shaft for rotation in a space between said grid rods, said disk having a plurality of teeth extending at an angle from the plane of said central portion so that the tips of adjacent teeth rotate in different paths within the space between said grid rods so as to act upon the top of said fiber bales in the space between said grid rods when said rods come into contact with the surface of said fiber bales.
An apparatus for opening pressed bales of spinning material such as cotton, synthetic fiber and the like, comprising:
- (a) parallel first and second grid rods spaced a predetermined distance from each other;
- (b) a shaft extending transversely of said grid rods and adjacent thereto;
- (c) mounting means for mounting said shaft for rotation above said bales;
- and
- (d) a toothed disk having a central portion lying in a plane transverse to the axis of said shaft, and supported by said shaft for rotation in the space between said grid rods, said disk having a plurality of teeth extending from said plane of said central portion and set at different angles so that the tips of adjacent teeth rotate in different paths.
