Abstract
In a web take-off roller assembly for carding machines, a plurality of cooperating rollers are provided and are mounted at each side in first and second lateral members or side plates. One of the rollers, the take-off roller, is mounted in the first lateral members, which is adapted to be fixed to the frame of the carding machine, whereas all the remaining rollers are mounted in the second lateral members, which members are adapted to be pivoted or rotated around an axis which coincides with the axis of the shaft of the take-off roller. By this, the relative position of the remaining rollers may be adjusted with respect to the take-off roller.
