Abstract
A method of producing apparatus for use in fiber processing, and in particular blades for pre-carding flats in a cotton card. The method comprises the steps of providing a body (32) defining a multiplicity of bores (34) extending between rear and front faces thereof, providing a multiplicity of pointed pins (44) of corresponding diameter to the bores, locating the pins (44) in the bores (34) from the rear of the body such that the points extend from the front of the body, and fixing the pins in the body.
Claims41
A method of producing apparatus for use in fiber processing, the method comprising in the following order the steps:
- providing a body defining a multiplicity of bores extending between rear and front faces thereof;
- providing a multiplicity of pointed pins of corresponding diameter and of similar cross section to the bores;
- locating the pins in the bores from the rear of the body such that the points extend from the front of the body;
- and
- adhesively fixing the pins in the body.
An apparatus for producing fibers, said apparatus comprising:
- a body defining a multiplicity of bores extending between rear and front faces thereof;
- a multiplicity of pointed pins of corresponding diameter and of similar cross section to the bores;
- said pins located in the bores from the rear of the body such that the points extend from the front of the body;
- and
- said pins being adhesively fixed in the body.
Apparatus for use in fiber processing, the apparatus comprising:
- a body defining a multiplicity of bores extending between rear and front faces thereof;
- and
- a multiplicity of pointed pins having shafts of corresponding diameter and of similar cross section to the bores and tails of greater diameter than the bores, the pins being adhesively fixed in the bores such that the points extend from the front of the body.
An apparatus for use in fiber processing and for mounting on a card, the apparatus comprising a body defining a plurality of points;
- and a separate support for said body, said body and said support combining to define a channel for engaging a corresponding mounting profile on the card.
A method of producing apparatus for use in fiber processing, the method comprising the steps:
