Patent number: 4564979Abstract: A combing machine for textile fibres has a "gill" for combing a sliver of fibres and means for tearing successive tufts from the sliver of fibres as the tufts are combed, and partially superimposing the torn tufts on each other so as to form a continuous combed web. The tearing and superimposition is effected by contra-rotating tearing rollers mounted on support shafts which are rotatably supported at their ends by a pivotable carriage; each support shaft is also rotatably supported intermediate its ends, and carries two tearing rollers side by side and cooperating with a corresponding pair of tearing rollers mounted side by side on the contra-rotating support shaft.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1984Date of Patent: January 21, 1986Assignee: Sant' Andrea Novara Officine Meccaniche e FonderieInventor: Carlo Ramasco

Patent number: 4561152Abstract: The present invention provides a draft roll arrangement in a spinning frame in which the apron bottom roll is longitudinally divided into two sections at a location along its length selected to be within a range for which torsion of the apron bottom roll does not pose a problem in spinning, and in which the respective bottom rolls are operatively connected to one another in such a manner that one of the ends of the back and front bottom rolls and one apron bottom roll section are connected to a driving source and the drive for the other apron bottom roll section is derived through the back and front bottom rolls. In a preferred embodiment, the respective apron bottom roll sections are associated with rotational angle sensors whose output rotational angle signals are supplied to a control unit. When the difference in the rotational angle has exceeded a preset value, an output signal indicating such state is issued from the control unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1984Date of Patent: December 31, 1985Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Toyoda Jidoshokki SeisakushoInventors: Kiwamu Niimi, Kenji Kinoshita

Patent number: 4555815Abstract: In addition to protective helmets, a breathing protection is required time and again. This purpose is served by a protective breathing mask. It must be made possible to put the mask on in a simple way with one hand, but reliably and in combination with the protective helmet. To this end, the mask is provided with locking means comprising coupling hooks to be moved by means of spreading dogs. While pushing the dogs together, the coupling hooks are displaced outwardly, to spread apart at the end of this motion. Upon putting on the protective mask and releasing the hold of the spreading dogs, the hooks get clamped to the protective helmet where they engage catch seats to lock the mask to the helmet. The breathing mask is thus firmly held toward the face to be protected. The mask is removed in an equally simple way, by pushing the spreading dogs together.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 1984Date of Patent: December 3, 1985Assignee: Dragerwerk AktiengesellschaftInventor: Hans J. Walther
