Distribution of wires in card clothing for flats - exhibiting herringbone pattern to inhibit lateral fibre transport

摘要

Wire clothing for carding flats has the wires arranged in tiered rows such that the separation between the needle rows in the carding direction is a constant, small value, whilst the widely-sepd. rows running at an acute angle to the carding direction change direction at regular intervals. This arrangement reduces the speeds of fibre transport across the card, and increases the carding efficiency.
