Flat clothing for a revolving flat of a carding machine

Abstract

The invention relates to a flat clothing (14) for a revolving flat (9) of a carding machine (1), having a working width (B) for processing fibers in a fiber running direction (C) transverse to the working width (B). The flat clothing (14) includes a foundation (27) with a length (F) that corresponds to the working width (B), and a width (G) that is viewed in the fiber running direction (C), and a plurality of clothing tips (23) that are formed from U-shaped small wire hooks (28) that penetrate through the foundation (27) and that are adjacently situated in rows (33) with a spacing (H) in the direction of the working width (B), wherein a row offset (L) [sic; (K)] in the direction of the working width (B), as the result of which the clothing tips (23) in successive rows (33) are not situated one behind the other, viewed in the fiber running direction (C). and a row spacing (K) [sic; (L)] between two successive rows (33). are provided. At least two successive zones (34, 35), viewed in the fiber running direction (C), are provided, wherein each zone has at least three rows (33, 36. 37. 38. 39. 40). and the row offset (K1) of the first zone (34) differs from the row offset (K2) of the second zone (35). Further the row spacing (L3) between each row (39)in the second zone (35) and a following further row (40) in the second zone (35),viewed in the fiber running direction (C), is in each case different from the row spacing (L2) between the row (39) in the second zone (35) and the preceding row (38) in the second zone (35).
