<p>The invention provides a method and means for securing card-clothed "tops" to the flats of revolving flat-type carding machines, which obviates the necessity for specialist machines used for securing clipped "tops" to the flanges of the flats. This is of particular advantage where the spinning mill is geographically remote. The method employs a special type of "top" clip (52, 54; 82, 84; 112, 114) which, besides being preformed to engage with the bottom side of the "top" as is usual, also has an inward hooked formation (60, 116) along its upper longitudinal edge. In addition, various kinds of tensioning elements (62, 64; 90, 100; 86, 88; 118, 120, 128) are provided, each of which is engageable with the hooked formations on the clips, and is resiliently loaded, so that in the assembled condition, it causes the clips to pull the "top" tightly into engagement with the flanges of the flat.</p> |
