1072. Sandeman, r. D. S. Jan. 22. Coilers.-The sliver delivered from jute breaker cards, finisher cards, drawing-frames, &c. is delivered by an inclined endless band to rollers c, Fig. 1, and coiling - mechanism d, which lays it in a fixed can a. When the can is full, a door at the bottom is opened, and the sliver is transferred into a movable can b. The sliver is acted upon in the fixed can by a presser e, controlled by a cam i and rod h and by a crank f and spring rod g. The presser is thus given alternate horizontal and vertical movements, being inserted into and withdrawn from the can through a vertical slot in its side. The spring 34 provides the necessary power to transfer the sliver into the movable can b when the door k is opened. The door k, k1, Fig. 5, may be formed in two parts and be operated automatically by a cam arm 46 bearing on an arm 38 on the door k1. The two parts are geared together to move simultaneously and are held closed by a spring 41. The cam is operated by a ratchet on the shaft 43 rotated by a pawl carried by a lever 48, oscillated by a crank on the gear 51, which is driven by chain and spur gearing from the shaft 57. The table 59 carrying the movable cans b is rotated by worm gearing 62 from the same shaft 57.
