However, varying this axial offset is mostly difficult and time-consuming. In order to achieve a simplification here, it is proposed to carry out the adjustment by means of a servomotor 23. This servomotor can be acted upon by manual control.

Full Text	COMPLETE : The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which is to be performed E1492 Saurer GmbH & Co. KG 41069 MÖnchengladbach Can stick for the looped circularly offset deposition of textile slivers in cans The invention relates to a can stick for the circularly-offset deposition of loops of textile sliver in cans, with a rotating depositing plate laying the sliver in loops into a rotating can or with a depositing plate which is mounted eccentrically in a rotating turntable of larger diameter deposition into a stationary can, the axes of rotation of the depositing plate and can or turntable being offset parallel to one another. Can sticks of this type are used oh card, drawframes, combing machines and the like. They are often integrated into the machines, so that they cannot be recognized as an independent working assembly. In order to achieve an optimal filling of the cans, along with maximum utilization of their volume, the sliver is deposited into the cans in loops offset circularly with respect to one another. This purpose is served by depositing plates which are mounted rotatably at a fixed location and which are arranged, offset axially in parallel, above likewise rotating cans. However, a deposition of this type can also be achieved in . that a rotating depositing plate is mounted eccentrically in a likewise rotating turntable which is itself arranged centrally above a stationary can. Deposition may take place in loops which do not encroach beyond the center axis of the can or reach beyond this. The axial offset between the depositing plate and. can is, as a rule, adjustable, in order, on the one hand, to achieve deposition up to the can wall, but, on the E1492 - 2 - other hand, also to prevent the sliver from coming to bear frictionally against the can wall. Furthermore, the correct axial offset is dependent on the sliver weight per unit length, on the type of fibre, on the texturing of the sliver and on further influencing variables, so that there is often the need to adjust it. However, the adjustment of the axial offset is complicated and difficult at least when the rotating can is embedded in the floor. If there are no experimental values available, the correct axial offset can even be determined only by means of tests. The set object of the invention was, therefore, to facilitate, simplify and, if appropriate, automate the adjustment of this axial offset. It achieves this object by means of the features mentioned in the characterizing clauses of the two main claims. According to Claim 1, the adjustment of the axial offset takes place between the depositing plate and rotating can, in which case the depositing plate or the can or both may be displaceable. According to Claim 2, the adjustment of the axial offset takes place at the displacement of the depositing plate within a turntable receiving it. In this way, the axial offset can be set and, if required, adjusted very simply and conveniently. The pushing device may be designed not only as a threaded spindle, but, for example, also as a cam disc. Modern cans have sliver plates which are raised as far as the top edge of a can by means of helical springs. What is to be achieved thereby is that the loops formed by the depositing plates are deposited initially onto these sliver plates provided with bosses of good grip and thereafter onto the sliver . package formed. This is to prevent the situation where the sliver is thrown beyond the intended depositing radius. However, the E1492 - 3 — springs of the sliver plates sometimes experience fatigue, with the result that the intended action is then absent. The sliver may be thrown beyond the can edge, be drawn into the can during the formation of the sliver package and later be damaged when it runs out of the can. Sensitive combing slivers are particularly at risk here. The invention can be utilized here to reduce the axial offset up to the formation of the sliver package, so that even thrown sliver loops remain within the intended depositing radius. During the formation of the sliver package, the axial offset can be increased to the intended extent again for the optimal utilization of the available can volume. For this purpose, a sensor device may be provided, which senses this and executes the changeover automatically. The adjustment of the axial offset may take place, in so far as spatial conditions permit, by means of a manually adjustable device, for example in the form of a threaded spindle, a rack or the like. Preferably, however, an electrical or a fluidic servomotor, for example in the form of a piston/cylinder unit, is provided. This servomotor may be controllable by hand, but it may also be controllable automatically, for example when there is provision for it to attempt to compensate the absence of a sliver package. Exemplary embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example in the figures of the drawing in which: Fig. 1 shows a side view of a can stick with rotatable can and with a rotatable depositing plate; Fig. 2 shows a cross section through the subject of Fig. 1 in the plane A-A; Fig. 3 shows a cross section through the subject of Fig. 1 in the plane B-B on an enlarged scale; E1492 - 4 - Fig. 4 shows a top view of a depositing plate mounted in a rotating turntable; Fig. 5 shows a section through the subject of Fig. 4; Fig. 6 shows a sensor device for detecting the sliver package. As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, a depositing plate 2 is mounted rotatably about the axis 3 in a table 1 of the machine, for example a combing machine. It has an obliquely lying sliver duct 4, through which a sliver, not illustrated here, coming from the delivery rollers 5 runs through the entry orifice 6 to the eccentric depositing orifice 7. The depositing plate 2 is driven via a belt 8 from a drive disc 9 which is seated on a vertical shaft 10. The shaft 10 starts from a gear 11 which is driven by a motor 12. The gear 11 also drives a shaft 13 which rotates a can plate 16 about the axis 17 via a disc 14 and a belt 15. A can 18 stands on this can plate. The drive rotational speed of the shafts 10 and 13 by the gear 11 is selected such that the depositing plate 2 executes a multiple of the rotations of the can plate 16, so that the sliver loops formed by the depositing plate 2 are introduced, lying next to one another, into the can 18. As can be seen from Figure 3, the can plate 16 is mounted by means of a tenon 19 in a slide 20 which is displaceable on two fixed sliding rails 21. A servomotor 22, which engages via a threaded spindle 23 on the slide 20, serves for displacing the latter. The servomotor 22 can be capable of being switched on in its two directions of rotation via two tracers, so that it can displace the slide 20 and,, via the latter, the can 18 and consequently vary its axial offset 24 E1492 - 5 - with respect to the depositing plate 2. As a result, the axial offset can be set and, if required, varied quickly and conveniently. This often leads to a situation where the axial offset is adapted in instances in which this has previously.been absent. It is clear that the axial offset could also be varied in that the depositing plate 2 is displaceable with respect to the can 18. In the embodiment of Figures 4 and 5, the depositing plate 2 driven via. its belt 6 by an auxiliary motor 25 is mounted in a slide 26 which is displaceable in two rails 27 in a turntable 28 of larger diameter. The depositing plate 2 engages through the turntable 28 through an oval orifice 29. The turntable is itself mounted rotatably in a table 1 of the machine. It is driven by the auxiliary motor 41 via a belt 30. The turntable 28 has fastened to it a servomotor 32 which makes it possible to displace the slide 26 by means of a threaded spindle 33. The wire ball bearings of the depositing plate and of the turntable are indicated by small circles.. The drives of the rotatable plates are not illustrated in Fig. 5 for the sake of clarity. The sliver 34 delivered by delivery rollers 5 is guided here by two sliver eyes 35 and 36, one of which is fastened below the delivery rollers 5 via an arm 37 in the axis 38 of the turntable 28 and the other 36 of which is fastened via an arm 39 in the axis 3 of the depositing plate 2. During the slow rotation of the turntable 28, the loops formed by the rapidly rotating depositing plate 2 are deposited next to one another into the in this case stationary can 18. When the axial offset 40 between the axis 38 of the turntable 28 and the axis 3 of the depositing plate 2 is to be adjusted here, by action upon the servomotor 32 via the threaded spindle 33 the slide 26 and, with E1492 - 6 - it, the depositing plate 2 are displaced inwards or outwards in the oval orifice 29 of the turntable. It will be appreciated that, as is not illustrated in any more detail, the threaded spindles 23 and 33 may also be adjustable by means of a fork wrench at a wrench span or by hand by means of a hand wheel, if they are easily accessible. Preferably, however, a sensor device is provided, which comprises a light barrier 41 consisting of a transmitter 42 and of a receiver 43, and also a control device 44. The servomotors 22 and 32 can be acted upon by means of the control device. If, as illustrated, the helical spring 46 in the can 18 is too weak to raise a can floor 45 to an extent such that the sliver package 47 bears against the underside of the depositing plate 2, there is the risk that the sliver 34 to be deposited is thrown beyond the edge of the can 18. In this case, the sliver running in briefly interrupts the light barrier 41 twice during each revolution of the depositing plate 2, although this is not recorded as a permanent interruption by the control device 44. It accordingly reduces the axial offset or maintains a set reduction. Only when the sliver package 47 has grown to an extent such that it bears against the underside of the depositing plate 2 is the light barrier 41 interrupted permanently. The control device 44 then activates the servomotor 23 or 32 such that it increases the axial offset 24 or 40 to the intended value. A permanent interruption of the light barrier 41 occurs even when, as intended, the can floor 45 is raised from the outset up to bearing contacts against the depositing plate 2. E1492 - 7 - It will be appreciated that sensor devices may also be used which ' employ other sensor means, such as, for example, pressure sensors, which detect the bearing pressure of the sliver package against the depositing plate 2, or light sensors on the underside of the depositing plate, which are covered by the can floor or the sliver package.

Can stick for the looped circularly offset deposition of textile slivers in cans
The invention relates to a can stick for the circularly-offset deposition of loops of textile sliver in cans, with a rotating depositing plate laying the sliver in loops into a rotating can or with a depositing plate which is mounted eccentrically in a rotating turntable of larger diameter deposition into a stationary can, the axes of rotation of the depositing plate and can or turntable being offset parallel to one another.

This servomotor may be controllable by hand, but it may also be controllable automatically, for example when there is provision for it to attempt to compensate the absence of a sliver package.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention are illustrated
by way of example in the figures of the drawing in
which:
Fig. 1 shows a side view of a can stick with rotatable
can and with a rotatable depositing plate; Fig. 2 shows a cross section through the subject of

in a rotating turntable;
Fig. 5 shows a section through the subject of Fig. 4; Fig. 6 shows a sensor device for detecting the sliver
package.
As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, a depositing plate 2 is mounted rotatably about the axis 3 in a table 1 of the machine, for example a combing machine. It has an obliquely lying sliver duct 4, through which a sliver, not illustrated here, coming from the delivery rollers 5 runs through the entry orifice 6 to the eccentric depositing orifice 7. The depositing plate 2 is driven via a belt 8 from a drive disc 9 which is seated on a vertical shaft 10.
The shaft 10 starts from a gear 11 which is driven by a motor 12. The gear 11 also drives a shaft 13 which rotates a can plate 16 about the axis 17 via a disc 14 and a belt 15. A can 18 stands on this can plate.

As can be seen from Figure 3, the can plate 16 is
mounted by means of a tenon 19 in a slide 20 which is
displaceable on two fixed sliding rails 21. A
servomotor 22, which engages via a threaded spindle 23

This often leads to a situation where the axial offset is adapted in instances in which this has previously.been absent. It is clear that the axial offset could also be varied in that the depositing plate 2 is displaceable with respect to the can 18.
In the embodiment of Figures 4 and 5, the depositing plate 2 driven via. its belt 6 by an auxiliary motor 25 is mounted in a slide 26 which is displaceable in two rails 27 in a turntable 28 of larger diameter. The depositing plate 2 engages through the turntable 28 through an oval orifice 29. The turntable is itself mounted rotatably in a table 1 of the machine. It is driven by the auxiliary motor 41 via a belt 30. The turntable 28 has fastened to it a servomotor 32 which makes it possible to displace the slide 26 by means of a threaded spindle 33. The wire ball bearings of the depositing plate and of the turntable are indicated by small circles.. The drives of the rotatable plates are not illustrated in Fig. 5 for the sake of clarity.
The sliver 34 delivered by delivery rollers 5 is guided here by two sliver eyes 35 and 36, one of which is fastened below the delivery rollers 5 via an arm 37 in the axis 38 of the turntable 28 and the other 36 of which is fastened via an arm 39 in the axis 3 of the depositing plate 2. During the slow rotation of the turntable 28, the loops formed by the rapidly rotating depositing plate 2 are deposited next to one another into the in this case stationary can 18.
When the axial offset 40 between the axis 38 of the turntable 28 and the axis 3 of the depositing plate 2 is to be adjusted here, by action upon the servomotor 32 via the threaded spindle 33 the slide 26 and, with

it, the depositing plate 2 are displaced inwards or outwards in the oval orifice 29 of the turntable.
It will be appreciated that, as is not illustrated in any more detail, the threaded spindles 23 and 33 may also be adjustable by means of a fork wrench at a wrench span or by hand by means of a hand wheel, if they are easily accessible.
Preferably, however, a sensor device is provided, which comprises a light barrier 41 consisting of a transmitter 42 and of a receiver 43, and also a control device 44. The servomotors 22 and 32 can be acted upon by means of the control device.
If, as illustrated, the helical spring 46 in the can 18 is too weak to raise a can floor 45 to an extent such that the sliver package 47 bears against the underside of the depositing plate 2, there is the risk that the sliver 34 to be deposited is thrown beyond the edge of the can 18. In this case, the sliver running in briefly interrupts the light barrier 41 twice during each revolution of the depositing plate 2, although this is not recorded as a permanent interruption by the control device 44. It accordingly reduces the axial offset or maintains a set reduction.

The control device 44 then activates the servomotor 23 or 32 such that it increases the axial offset 24 or 40 to the intended value. A permanent interruption of the light barrier 41 occurs even when, as intended, the can floor 45 is raised from the outset up to bearing contacts against the depositing plate 2.

Can sticks of spinning preparation machines, such as drawframes and combing machines, in which the sliver is deposited in loops lying next to one another in cans 18 by means of rotating depositing plates 2, have, between the axes of rotation of the depositing plates and cans, an axial offset 24 which can be set according to the properties of the sliver. However, varying this axial offset is mostly difficult and time-consuming.
In order to achieve a simplification here, it is proposed to carry out the adjustment by means of a servomotor 23.
This servomotor can be acted upon by manual control. Preferably, however, a sensor device 41 to 44 is provided, which carries out this adjustment automatically and in this case takes into account the presence of a sliver package, as a result of which sliver is prevented from being thrown out beyond the can edge so as to reduce quality.
