Transport system for sliver cans has a movement path with tracks for the can support rollers and angled side cheeks to move the can into position on the tracks with aligned rollers

摘要

The transport system, for the movement of sliver cans (2), has a movement path (7) with two defined and generally horizontal tracks (9a,9b) for the can support rollers (3). Angled guide cheeks (10) are at the side of each track (9a,9b), pitched towards their tracks, at a sufficient angle to ensure that a can roller at the cheek will roll down into the guide track through the weight of the can. The movement path (7) has a flat center section (8), between the tracks (9a,9b), and outer guide cheeks (10), or the angled guide cheek (10) is between the tracks (9a,9b). Each sliver can (2) can have four support rollers (3). The guide path (7) has a mechanical system to push the separate sliver cans (2) along it on the tracks. The side cheeks (10) have an angle which allows the sliver can (2) to be pushed manually over it against the angle line, and also position the can (2) on its rollers (3) in an alignment to travel along the path (7), with the rollers (3) on both sides of the path center line (12).
