FRIEDRICH QUEISER, 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO Gr. JOSEPHYS ERBEN, OF BIELITZ, AUSTRIA-HUNGARY, A COPARTNERSHIP COMPOSED OF `GUSTAVE JOSEIHY AND SENDOR WEINSCHENCK.

TAlPE-CONDENSER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. *7, 1914.

Application led October 9, 1913. Serial N o. 794,264.

T0 all whom t may concern Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH QUEIsER, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-IIungary, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia., State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Tape-Condenser, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of an improved condenser for spinning longestaple material, such as cross-bred wool, alpaca, hair, tlaX and similar material.

It further consists of such improved condenser in which each roving is separately carried from the dividing rollers to the aprons.

It further consists of other novel features of construction, all as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail one mechanical form embodying the invention, such detail construction being but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be used.

In said annexed drawings-Figure l represents a diagrammatic elevation of a condenser of the present type. Fig. 2 representis a diagrammatic elevation of a condenser embodying my invention. Fig. 3 represents a diagrammatic elevation of a slightly different embodiment of my invention.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, the reference letters 'I and T indicate the dividing rollers, around which pass the tapes, ift-41;, which convey the rovings to the aprons, n passing around rollers, m, at said aprons.

In the form of condenser illustrated in Fig. l, which is the form now in use, the rovings pass with the tapes from the dividing rollers over primary guide rollers -J, in the same planes, and thence pass in different planes to the dividing rollers at the receiving ends of the aprons, so that the rovings following the diverging tapes will not be mixed with those of adjoining tapes, as is liable to happen with long liber stock, with which the fiber is liable to reach from one tape to an adjoining tape and thus pull the fiber from one tape to another, rendering the rovings uneven.

In the construction illustrated in Figs. 2

and 3, and embodying my invention, the rovings follow the tapes, but such tapes alternately pass around rollers b-b and c-c, in different alinement, whence they pass around rollers m, to the aprons, a. The rovings upon the tapes will thus leave the vdividing rollers at different points of alinement and will not be liable to adhere to each other.

As the rovings are liable to part from the tapes at the points between the rollers c and m on the lower side of the machine, the tapes at these points have either a full twist, as indicated at Z in Fig. 2, to retain the rovings, or they have a one-half twist, as at e, and are carried over rollers, fw, as illustrated in Fig. 3. In either case the rovings are supported so that they cannot drop ofi' the lower tapes.

Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed for the mode herein explained. Change may therefore be made as regards the mechanism thus disclosed, provided the principles of construction set forth, respectively in the following claims are employed.

I-Iaving thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. In a device of the character stated, dividing rollers, aprons, guide-rollers at the receiving ends of said aprons, tapes passing around said dividing rollers and guide-rollers, and primary guide rollers for said tapes and in close proximity to said dividing rollers and arranged in different axial alinement.

2. In a device of the character stated, di viding rollers, aprons, guide-rollers at the receiving ends of said aprons, tapes passing around said dividing rollers and guide rollers, and primary guide rollers for said tapes and above and below said dividing rollers and in Contact with the same and arranged in different axial alinement from each other.

3. In device of the character stated, dividing rollers arranged one above the other, aprons, guide rollers in proximity to the receiving ends of said aprons, primary guide rollers arranged in different axial alinement above and below said dividing rollers and in contact with the same, and tapes passed around said dividing rollers and guide rollers.

4. In a device of the character stated, a pair of dividing rollers arranged one above the other, aprons, guide rollers in proximity to the receiving ends of said aprons, a plurality of rimary guide rollers above the upper dividing roller and arranged in dierent axial alinement, tapes passing around the upper dividing roller and the dierently alined primary guide rollers and one set of guide rollers near the aprons, a plurality of primary guide rollers below the lower di* viding roller and arranged in different axial alinement, and tapes passing around the lower dividing roller and the differently alined primary guide rollers, and a set of rollers near the feeding end of the apron and having the portions between the outer primary guide rollers near the lower dividing roller and the roller near the lower apron twisted.
