The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:


This invention relates to carriage system for carrying unfinished/finished rubber cot arbours in automatic rubber cot
grinding/buffing machine comprising the same.
More particularly this invention relates to a carriage system in which unfinished rubber cot arbour either directly from the unfinished rubber cot arbour unit or from the measuring unit is carried to the grinding head through the centre less holding and guiding device

and the finished rubber cot arbour after grinding is carried to the finished rubber cot arbour storage unit/magazine through finished rubber cot arbour conveyer unit, the unfinished/finished rubber cot
arbour are carried by the carriage simultaneously and smoothly
ithereby making the working of automatic rubber cot arbour grinding/buffing machine quite a smooth and increasing its productivity
Rubber cot arbour mainly comprises a steel spindle or axle provided
with one or two rubber cots used as top rollers in Ring Frame,
Frame, Combers, etc. of cotton/synthetic yarn Speed Frame, Draw
spinning mills, in the textile industries.
The arbours or top rollers used in Draw Frames or Combers are provided with single long cot up to 400 mm in length in the middle of the axle portion, while the arbours or top rollers used in Ring
2

Frames or Speed Frames are provided with a pair of cots, one each at the two ends of the axle. The cots are preferably made of rubber. A very large number of top rollers or rubber cot arbours are used in a Spinning mill/machine, which work continuously at a high speed.
Regular grinding of the rubber cot arbours is required for ensuring quality of yarn by reducing thread breaks and minimizing lap formation. Generally centreless grinding is used for rubber cot arbours of Ring Frames and Speed Frames and with centre grinding' is used for Draw Frames and Comber Cots.
Carriage system for carrying unfinished/finished rubber cot arbours are also known and used in the automatic rubber cot arbour grinding machines sold in the market under the brand name 'BERKOL' ® manufactured by 'HUBER + SUHNER'. But the existing carriage system is having numbers of branching of pneumatic cylinders and liner device which makes the construction of existing carriage complicated. Also the carriage has to travel two times one
for picking the unfinished rubber cot arbour from the arbour holder

and again to deliver the unsuitable rubber cot arbour to the rejection tray and in the mean time grinding head remains waiting for feeding the unfinished rubber cot arbours: for grinding thereby
3
