A nipper gauge setting apparatus.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a nipper gauge setting apparatus used tn a textile combing machine. Said nipper gauge setting apparatus comprising a nipper shaft (6); a setting bar (11) firmly held at an end of the nipper shaft (6) through at least one fastening means (12); wherein the Said apparatus is provided with atleast one differential screw arrangement. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by a first self aligning member (13) has internal thread for adopting threads of a first screw means (14) of a stud member (15), wherein the first self aligning member is hinged on one side of the setting bar (11) apart from the .axis of fastening means (12); and a second self aligning member (17) has internal thread for adopting threads, of a second self screw means of other side of a stud member, wherein the second self aligning member is screwed into the threads to hinge on a slit bracket (9b), wherein through the nipper gauge setting, for one full revolution of the stud member, the stud member movels a predetermined distance with respect to' the second self aligning member (17), and for the same revc, .Jon of first screw means (14) the first self aligning member (13) moves a predetermined distance relatively.
