Roller mounting assembly for textile drafting system

A roller mounting assembly for use in a drafting system in a textile processing machine, comprising

• an upper roller support and weighting arm which defines a longitudinal direction and is configured to be pivotally mounted to the textile processing machine for pivotal movement about an axis which is transverse to the longitudinal direction,
• a mounting bracket releasably mounted to the arm so as to permit the mounting bracket to be released and moved in the longitudinal direction along the arm between selected mounting positions,
• a pair of upper rollers coaxially mounted to a common axle which extends between the upper rollers, a pair of clearer rollers each coaxially mounted to a separate mounting axle,
• said mounting bracket including a generally U-shaped base body which includes a pair of laterally spaced apart and parallel side walls, with said side walls including downwardly open and laterally aligned slots for receiving the axle of the upper rollers therein, and with said side walls further including generally upwardly open and laterally aligned slotted guideways for respectively receiving the mounting axles of the clearer rollers therein, with the clearer rollers positioned to engage respective ones of the upper rollers,
• whereby after releasing the mounting bracket it is possible to displace the upper rollers and the clearer rollers jointly along the arm without additional adjustment of the upper rollers and clearer rollers relative to each other.
