A method of securing a plurality o048268999 f replaceable segments to a base wherein a plurality of deformable supporting members are releasably fastened to the base and wherein co-operating means are provided on a rear face of the segments and on the supporting members, the arrangement being such that the means connecting the supporting members to the base are also used to cause the means on the supporting members to engage with the co-operating means on the rear of the segments. While it is envisaged the invention could be used for securing any working surface to a base member, the invention is particularly suited to securing replaceable segments on a rotary work member and also has particular utility in the textile field for connecting staves to a bas roller or the like.
A method of securing a plurality of replaceable segments to a base member wherein a plurality of elastically deformable supporting members separate from the segments are releasably fastened to the base member, and wherein co-operating means are provided on a rear face of the segments and on the supporting members whereby the means on the supporting members may be deformed and brought into clamping engagement with the means on the segments, co-operating means providing the only means of securing the segments to the base member so as to leave the face of the segments free of securing means.
Apparatus comprising at least one base member to which a plurality of elastically deformable supporting members are releasably fastened, and a plurality of replaceable segments removable mounted on the supporting members, said segments being separate from the supporting members, and including deformable means on the supporting members clampingly engaging co-operating means on a rear face of the segments, said co-operating means providing the only means of securing the segments to the base member so as to leave the face of the segments free of securing means.
A textile carding device comprising a base member having a plurality of longitudinally extending elastically deformable supporting members which are releasably fastened internally by tension means to the base member and a plurality of staves or segments releasably mounted on the supporting members to provide card clothing, and wherein co-operating means are provided on the supporting members and on the rear of the staves or segments to clamp the staves or segments to the supporting members, said co-operating means providing the only means of securing the segments to the base member so as to leave the face of the segments free of securing means.
