The present invention relates to a breaker-cum-finisher card machine for jute
textiles. This machine is a combination with an auto-leveler intersecting gill head. The
machine according to the invention is equivalent to a combination of four breakers, finisher
cards and four gill boxes. Several advantages are achieved by the machine according to
the invention. The machine is capable of producing jute of regular and even sliver weight
with greater parallelization of fiber. The machine is capable of producing carded jute fibre
with an output capacity which is four times the production capacity of one breaker and one
finisher card. Delivery speeds are of the order of 200 meters/minute. The wooden staves
in the machine have longer life compared to the 4 to 6 months life of hitherto known jute
cards. The breaker card section with wooden staves of doffer has self-cleaning system.
The feed roller also has a quick cleaning device. The machine is practically maintenance-
free. Automatic dust suction can also be achieved by the machine. Since the lubricating
area is in the ducting and transparent window, oiling the machine is a convenient operation.
The machine according to the invention requires reduced power consumption and less
man-power requirement for handling and operation. Apart from the point of view of
operational safety owing to the fact that all sides of the machine are covered thereby
rendering it accident-free, considerable cost economics and space reduction are also
realized.
The object of this invention is to reduce the space of machine and workers. This
machine can do as much work as can be done by four machines. This machine gives the
better output than such machines. It is cheaper than four machines.

Figure 1 shows a cylinder assembly comprising a pipe (1), having flanges (2, 2') at
two ends thereof. A first round bar (3) extends from the centre of one of the flanges (2)
while a second round bar (4) extends from the other flange (2'). A V-belt worker pulley (5)
and a V-belt stipper pulley (6) are mounted on the round bar (3) and are spaced apart from
each other. A V-belt pulley (7) is mounted on the first round bar (3) adjacent to the stipper
pulley (6). A worker drive spur gear (8) and a feed drive spur gear (9) are mounted on the
second round bar (4). This feed side cylinder assembly is attached with a finisher cylinder
by V-belt pulley (7). Worker driver spur gear (8) and fed drive spur gear (9) are connected
to the driver of a cone feeder. The side cylinder of Figure 1 forms the main roller of the
breaker card.
Figure 2 shows the same features as in Figure 1, but of a gill box side cylinder
assembly. In this drawing, V-belt pulley (8) of the finisher card is connected to an idle
motor pulley. The side cylinder assembly of Figure 1 is the main roller of breaker card used

for breaking raw jute, while the finisher cylinder assembly roll of Figure 2 is used for giving
finish to the jute.
Pralta assembly shown in Figures 3 and 3A comprises of a pair of chain spur
counters (20, 21) vertically spaced apart with a chain (201) passing around the two chain
spur counters (20, 21). Another chain (211) passes around chain spur counter (21) and a
chain spur counter (221) of a raw jute holder unit (22) horizontally spaced from chain spur
gear (21). A chattay is moved around a chattay stay (16) by means of a chattay roll (161).
The chattay roll (161) is connected to the chain spur counter (20) by means of a chain
(202).
Figures 4, 4A and 4B show raw jute holder assembly (22) of Figure 3. It shows pair
of chain spur gears (221, 222) spaced apart and meshing with a spur gear (223). The spur
gears are mounted on a triangular shaped partition plate (224).
Figure 5 shows a bracket assembly comprising a set of brackets (101-106).
Brackets (101) are used for supporting worker rollers. Brackets (102) support stopper
rollers. Brackets (103, 104, 105) support cleaner rollers. Brackets (106) are used for
supporting a bearing housing (107) and bearing cover (108).
Figure 6 shows the bracket assembly of Figure 5 with the Pralta assembly of Figure
3 attached to it.
Figures 7, 7A and 7B show a frame assembly of a jute card assembly. Figure 7
shows top view, while Figure 7A shows front view of the frame assembly. A motor (109) is
used for driving a main drive counter pulley (110) by means of a chain drive (119). A doffer
roller bracket (111) supports a doffer (112) with a doffer master (1121). A base frame (113)

6
supports a right hand side pillar (114), while base frame (115) supports a left hand side
pillar (116). Atop frame (117) extends over the side pillars (114, 116). A bend frame (118)
extends over the top frame (117). The motor (109) is mounted on a bracket (118). The
frame supports are denoted by (1201) and (1202). In Figure 7, feeding cylinder (120) and
gill base side cylinders (121) are illustrated. Bracket (122) supports the chattay roll (161) of
Figure 3. Worker rollers are supported by brackets (101). A transfer roller is supported
by a bracket (122). The doffer drive pulley counters are denoted by (123) and (124) while
(125) and (126) represent belt tightening pulley.
Figure 8 shows a rear side view of the assembly shown in Figure 6.
Jute is crushed by the breaker roll main cylinder assembly of Figure 1 and passed
on to the gill box cylinder assembly of Figure 2, where the jute is re-crushed and
transferred to doffer rolls shown in Figure 5, where the jute is further crushed. The doffer
roll is mounted on the Pralta assembly shown in Figures 3 and 5. The Pralta assembly
controls the crushed jute passing on to the chattey.
