Abstract
Abstract In a needle bar drawing device (gill box) for the drawing of card slivers bars carrying needles are led without being connected to each other. In a device which, according to today's terminology, is to be identified as a push bar draw frame pairs of driven toothed discs engaging each other with their toothed peripheries are so arranged that they almost totally cover the whole orbit of the needle bars with their toothing engaging the shafts of the latter.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
Needle bar drawing device (gill box) for drawing card slivers, said device comprising driven gilling area means including needle bar means running along an endless orbit, defining two ends and carrying needle means, which needle bar means are arranged independently of each other and at least at one of said ends, and include crank means guided in channel cam means, said device further comprising slot guide means for said needle bar means, said slot guide means determining said orbit of said needle bar means during their total run and arranged on each side of said gilling area means, wherein said needle bar means are driven by means of several toothed disc means, said toothed disc means being driven, having at least two peripheries overlapping each other, being arranged offset with respect to each other, and the toothings of which engage said orbit of said needle bar means by positively engaging the same.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
Needle bar drawing device (gill box) for drawing card slivers, said device comprising driven gilling area means including needle bar means running along an endless orbit, defining two ends and carrying needle means, which needle bar means are arranged independently of each other and at least at one of said ends, and include crank means guided in channel cam means, said device further comprising slot guide means for said needle bar means, said slot guide means determining said orbit of said needle bar means during their total run and arranged on each side of said gilling area means, wherein said needle bar means are driven by means of several toothed disc means, said toothed disc means being driven, having at least two peripheries overlapping each other, being arranged offset with respect to each other, and the toothings of which engage said orbit of said needle bar means by positively engaging the same.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said needle bar means define shaft means, said toothed disc means each being arranged in pairs engaging said shaft means of said needle bar means synchronously.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein a first one of said pairs of toothed disc means located in the region of the position where said needle bar means vanish from said gilling area means are driven at a greater circumferential speed than that of the other pairs of said toothed disc means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 3, wherein said first pair of toothed disc means is driven at a basic speed corresponding to the speed of said gilling area means, which basic speed is superimposed by acceleration impulses after receiving each one of said needle disc means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 3, wherein said first pair of toothed disc means has a saw-like toothing including trailing shoulders.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 4, wherein said first pair of toothed disc means has a saw-like toothing including trailing shoulders.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 3, wherein said first pair of toothed disc means positioned in the region of said vanishing position of said needle bar means protrude with their periphery beyond a plane of said gillings area means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
42 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said device includes non-toothed driven pulleys to reverse said run of said needle bar means in the region of said position where said needle bar means vanish from said gilling area means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
42 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said device includes non-toothed idler pulleys to reverse said run of said needle bar means in the region of said position where said needle bar means vanish from said gilling area means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein idle auxiliary toothed disc means are arranged at each transitional place between the peripheries of said toothed disc means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
42 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said device includes non-toothed driven pulleys to reverse said run of said needle bar means in the region of said position where said needle bar means vanish from said gilling area means.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
42 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said device includes non-toothed idler pulleys to reverse said run of said needle bar means in the region of said position where said needle bar means vanish from said gilling area means.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
46 words
Needle bar drawing device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said needle bar means define shaft means positioned on both sides of said gilling area means and carry spacer means for providing uniform spaces between said needle bar means in the region of said shaft means.
