A revolving flats arrangement for carding operation, and which is provided with a drive, guide and deflection element. Flats on both ends slide on guides, and are constructed so as to avoid the use of a flats chain. A driving element pushes ahead the flats in the region of a deflecting roller. Of the two deflecting rollers that are provided, one is used as a driving element. The driving element has engaging members 8, shaped as sprocket portions, and the flats can be pressed against the sliding guide by a belt or an elastic element. The flats are directed along a predetermined path by the sliding guide, and they form on the side facing the card cylinder, at one location, a gap which is associated with a vacuuming device. The clothing of the flats is located on the side facing from the card clothing, and is cleaned by an axially movable cleaning device.
