Circular comb comprising a guide element

A circular comb (R) for a comber, comprising:

• a basic body (18, 20) fastened on a circular comb shaft (15) in a rotationally locked manner;
• a comb clothing (G) supported on an outer circumference of the basic body, the comb clothing comprising clothing tips that define an outer enclosing circle (HK);
• a guide element (7, 7a) following the basic body viewed in a combing direction of the comb clothing, the guide element comprising a first guide surface (f1) that adjoins the basic body (18, 20), is arranged within the enclosing circle (HK) and has a radial clearance (e) from the enclosing circle, the guide element comprising a second guide surface (f2) that adjoins and forms an obtuse angle (α) with the first guide surface (f1);
• the radial clearance (e) being between 4-10 mm;
• the obtuse angle (a) being between 130°-170°;
• a rear end (H) of the second guide surface (f2) having a radial clearance (M) between 8-18 mm from the enclosing circle (HK);
• and
• a length (l2) of the second guide surface (f2) being at least twice as great as a length (l1) of the first guide surface (f1), as viewed in a circumferential direction of the circular comb (R).
