Abstract
Abstract Apparatus having opposable, relatively oscillating surfaces between which the overlapped ends of bundles of fiber strands or slivers are placed for splicing. The splice produced is characterized by the tangling of generally parallel fibers resulting from the action of a component of the oscillation transverse to their direction, and also from the presence of crimp in the fibers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
Apparatus for splicing fiber bundles, including a pair of plate members, means for separating and closing together opposed surfaces of said plate members, and means for oscillating said plate members relatively in the plane of said opposed surfaces including a motor having a shaft with means for oscillating one plate relatively to the other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
Apparatus for splicing fiber bundles, including a pair of plate members, means for separating and closing together opposed surfaces of said plate members, and means for oscillating said plate members relatively in the plane of said opposed surfaces including a motor having a shaft with means for oscillating one plate relatively to the other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The combination of claim 1, with means for urging the plate members together while the means for oscillating are operative.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The combination of claim 1, in which the plate members are generally flat.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
The combination of claim 1, in which the plate members are pivotally attached.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The combination of claim 1, in which the plate members have frictional means on said opposed surfaces thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The combination of claim 1, in which the plate members have abrasive sheets attached to said opposed surfaces thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
The combination of claim 1, in which the shaft drives the said one plate eccentrically.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
The combination of claim 7, in which every point in the driven plate describes a path congruent with that of every other point therein.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
The combination of claim 1, in which a linkage connects the plates.
