Abstract
A guide device for compressing a fibre web exiting from a transverse conveyor arrangement at the outlet of a card. The fibre web leaving the card outlet rolls is conveyed to one side of the card, where it is guided downward by the guide device. The rolls are disposed above the transverse conveyor and each has a step-like constriction at an end associated with the guide device and outwardly of a point at which the fibre web is deflected around a deflection roller of the transverse conveyor. The guide device is partially received in the constriction and a nip or a nip zone is formed between the guide device and the adjacent deflection roller of the transverse conveyor. The guide device is situated to the side of and at least mainly above the axis of rotation of the deflection roller.
