Abstract
A clearer mechanism for a draft roller, a clearer holder supporting a clearer member therein, and a suspensory member suspended from the draft roller and detachably supporting the clearer holder such that the clearer member is held against a working periphery of the draft roller. The mechanism further includes an actuating member or a restraining member projecting from either of the clearer holder and the suspensory member for displacing the actuating member or the restraining member to thereby reciprocally move the clearer holder along the working periphery of the draft roller.
Claims9
A clearer mechanism for a draft roller comprising:
- a clearer member made of a soft sheet material;
- a clearer holder receiving therein said clearer member such that a distal end of the clearer member protrudes out of the clearer holder and is positively held against a peripheral surface of a draft roller of the machine;
- and
- a suspensory member being supported by the draft roller and suspended therefrom such that said suspensory member is swingingly movable along the peripheral surface of the draft roller, said suspensory member detachably supporting said clearer holder such that the latter longitudinally confronts the draft roller.
