Abstract
A device used to feed fiber slivers to a processing machine with at least one sliver guide. The sliver guide is provided with a guiding surface over which the fiber sliver is guided. The guiding surface also serves as a sliver monitoring device. The sliver guide is produced in a process in which the housing of the sliver guide, standing on its head, together with its guiding surface, is clamped over a die. A sensor is inserted into the housing from the side opposite the guiding surface and is embedded therein in a casting compound.
Claims14
A sliver guiding and monitoring device, for guiding fiber sliver en route from a sliver supply to a sliver processing machine, and for monitoring the passage of said sliver over said guide, comprising:
- (a) a housing, adapted to be supported on said sliver processing machine, adjacent to said sliver supply;
- (b) a sliver guiding surface disposed on said housing for guiding said sliver en route from said sliver supply to said sliver processing machine;
- and
- (c) sliver monitoring means embedded within said housing, adjacent to said guiding surface, for monitoring the passage of said sliver over said sliver guiding surface.
A sliver guiding and monitoring device, comprising:
- (a) a housing, adapted to be supported on a textile fiber sliver processing machine, adjacent to a supply of sliver;
- (b) a silver guiding surface disposed on said housing for guiding sliver from said sliver supply en route to said sliver processing machine;
- (c) an elongated slit in said guiding surface, extending transversely of the direction said slivers cross said guiding surface;
- (d) a cavity within said housing, extending from said slit to a surface opposite said guiding surface;
- (e) sliver monitoring means disposed within said cavity, extending, at least partially into said slit;
- and
- (f) a hardened casting compound disposed within said cavity and said slit, surrounding said monitoring means and maintaining said monitoring means in a predetermined position in said cavity and said slit.
