Abstract
A fiber material feeder includes a spiked lattice which has an upper and a lower end roller each having a longitudinal axis. The spiked lattice has an inclined, endless belt supported on the end rollers and a plurality of spikes carried at the outer belt surface and forming a series of consecutive rows extending along the belt width oriented parallel to the roller axes. The spike rows are oriented at an oblique inclination to the roller axes. Further, a drive is provided for circulating the endless belt about the end rollers for advancing fiber material, entrained by the spikes, upwardly toward the upper end roller. A scale including a weighing bin is provided for catching fiber material leaving the belt at the upper end roller.
