CARD-CLOTHING FOR FLATS OF A CARDING MACHINE

摘要

A plurality of wire sections are lined up side by side on a carrier member. Every wire section comprises a row of teeth, a distance piece section, a web located below thereof and a foot section. A through opening is provided in the web section. The two ends of the carrier member are provided with a slot-like opening. A locking member having the form of a block is slid onto the two ends against the wire sections held in a prestressed condition. This block-like structure comprises a rectilinearly extending longitudinal bar and a further longitudinally extending bar deformed into the slot-shaped through opening. This deformed bar acts as locking element. Accordingly, the wire sections package arranged upon the carrier member is held locked in a prestressed condition. Because these wire sections are not held by means of a welding or by means of an adhesive agent on the carrier member, savings regarding costs and materials are achieved.
