Abstract
A module for a fiber preparation machine is a self-supporting element having a cuboid shape with a length (L), a width (B) and a height (H), as well as at least two lateral walls extending in parallel respective planes and spaced apart by the width (B). A cross beam connects the lateral walls to one another. Each of the lateral walls is encompassed by a frame. A first leg of the frame is arranged along the plane of the respective lateral wall and a second leg of the frame is arranged at a right angle to the lateral wall and facing away from the opposite lateral wall. A fiber preparation machine includes a plurality of the modules interconnected together.
Claims13
A fiber preparation machine, comprising:
- a plurality of modules, each module comprising:
- a cuboid shape having a length (L), a width (B) and a height (H);
- opposite and parallel lateral walls spaced apart by the width (B), the lateral walls having a rectangular shape defining the length (L) and height (H) of the cuboid shape;
- a cross beam connecting the lateral walls to one another, the cross beam defining the width (B) of the cuboid shape;
- each of the lateral walls encompassed by a continuous and unbroken frame around the length (L) and height (H);
- wherein at each of the lateral walls a first leg of the frame is arranged along a plane of the lateral wall and a second leg of the frame is arranged at a right angle to the plane of the lateral wall and faces away from the opposite lateral wall;
- and
- wherein adjacent ones of the plurality of modules are assembled together via connection of the second legs along the length (L) or height (H) of the adjacent ones of the plurality of modules such that the connected second legs are continuous and unbroken along an entirety of the assembled modules.
