Combing element for a circular comb of a combing machine

A circular comb for a combing machine, comprising:

• a base body;
• a plurality of combing elements mounted to the base body and situated one behind the other relative to a rotational direction of the circular comb, each of the combing elements further comprising:
• a toothed clothing and a base surface opposite from the toothed clothing;
• a mounting bar having lateral faces and a supporting surface on which the base surface of the clothing elements rest;
• longitudinal ends that protrude beyond the lateral faces of the mounting bar;
• and
• the clothing elements joined to the mounting bar with at least one weld seam applied between the base surface of at least one of the protruding longitudinal ends of the clothing elements and the mounting bar.

• a mounting bar having lateral faces and a supporting surface on which the base surface of the clothing elements rest;
• opposite longitudinal ends such that mutually facing longitudinal ends are configured between adjacent combing elements;
• the clothing elements joined to the mounting bar with at least one weld seam applied between the base surface of at least one of the longitudinal ends of the clothing elements and the mounting bar;
• and
• an overlapping stepped offset profile defined between the mutually facing longitudinal ends of adjacent combing elements, the overlapping stepped profile defining a closed clothing surface between the adjacent combing elements.
