Abstract
A comber machine with a nipper head (3) has a fixed bearing (2), and at least one pair of detaching rolls (6") which are rotatably mounted in bearings (41). The nipper head (3) and the detaching rolls (6") are moved during a combing cycle towards one another and away from one another by the distance of a stroke path, up to a minimum distance which corresponds to a predetermined separation value. While still maintaining the stroke path, the predetermined separation distance (ecartement value) can be adjusted. To facilitate the setting of the ecartement value, provision is made for bearings (41) of the detaching rolls (6") to be displaced relative to the fixed bearing (2) of the nipper head (3), jointly on a track (45) which enlarges or reduces the separation value.
Claims14
A comber machine comprising:
- a nipper head pivotable about a fixed-position bearing;
- at least two detaching rolls and bearings for rotatable mounting of the rolls;
- the rolls being provided in pairs;
- wherein the nipper head and a pair of the detaching rolls are movable relative to one other during a combing cycle along a stroke path, up to a predetermined separation value;
- the machine further comprises means for adjusting the predetermined separation while still maintaining the stroke path;
- at least the bearings of the detaching rolls which are closest to the nipper are displacable relative to the fixed-position bearing of the nipper head, jointly along a track for increasing or reducing the separation value, and is fixable in at least some of the displacement settings.
