Combing machine with a reserve reel trough

Abstract

In order to relieve the operator of a combing machine from having to handle the heavy comb reels (4, 7), a mechanically operated reserve reel trough (6) is provided. It can be lowered to such a level that it can easily roll comb reels, even from the lowest position into which they are delivered by the combing machine, into the reserve reel trough. On the other hand it can be raised to such a high level that the reserve reels roll by themselves into working position on the reel cylinders (2, 3). The mechanical operation is effected preferably by a fluidically (pneumatic or hydraulic) operable work element with cylinder and piston which is arranged between the frame of the combing machine and the reserve reel trough.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a combing machine having at least one storage chute and comprising winding rollers, in which storage laps can be stored and by means of which the laps can be unwound. Background technique [0002] Cotton laps are produced on laps or winders for processing on combers. Various embodiments of these machines are known, which transport combed laps at different heights. Typically, laps weighing up to 25 kg are transported to the comber on carriages, so it is obviously unwise to have an operator handling the laps. On the comber, the laps are stored in storage racks. [0003] These storage racks are usually placed lower so that the laps can be transported from the carriages to the storage racks without having to be lifted by the operator. At the latest when changing the unwinding laps, the storage chute must be raised to a higher operating position, so that the problem of lifting heavy laps arises. [0004] EP 0 593 391 B1 disclose...
