A guide plate is positioned immediately downstream of the detaching rollers of the combing head in order to deflect the web upwardly towards a deflection plate which, in turn, deflects the web back towards a trailing section of the guide plate. The guide plate and deflection plate are electrically conductive and electrically connected to the machine frame of the combing machine in order to discharge the electrostatic charges in the web. A trailing edge of the guide plate may also be inclined to deliver the web to the delivery rollers. The distance between the nip clearance of the detaching rollers and the point at which the web contacts the inclined section of the guide plate is too short to permit jamming of a web due to the rigidity of the web.
A combing machine comprising
In a combing machine the combination comprising
In a combing machine the combination comprising a pair of detaching rollers disposed in vertical overlying relation to each other to deliver a fiber web therefrom, a guide plate having a first upwardly inclined surface facing said detaching rollers to deflect a web delivered therefrom in an upward direction, a deflection plate having a surface facing said inclined surface of said guide plate to deflect a web passing from said guide plate in a forward direction away from said detaching rollers.
