Abstract
A compression bar for use in the main drafting zone of drafting rollers of the textile industry. The invention considerably reduces deposits on a compression bar. The fixed compression bar has a rectangular cross-section, with its narrow faces being rounded off. On the other hand, the compression bar is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis, whereby the compression bar has preferably a circular cross-section.
Claims3
A drafting device for drafting a textile fiber silver, said device comprising:
- a first set of drafting rollers and a second set of drafting rollers disposed directly adjacent and downstream from said first set of drafting rollers in a conveying path of said fiber silver;
- a main drafting zone defined directly between said first and second sets of drafting rollers having a width corresponding essentially to the width of said drafting rollers wherein said fiber silver is conveyed between said sets of drafting rollers and drafted by said directly adjacent sets of drafting rollers in said main drafting zone;
- and
- a compression bar having a substantially circular cross-section operably disposed between said directly adjacent sets of drafting rollers across said width of said main drafting zone, said compression bar disposed above said conveying path of said fiber silver and rotatable about a longitudinal axis through said compression bar to reduce contamination on said compression bar.
