Abstract
A flat for a carding engine comprises an elongate support bar (11) designed to be supported at each end thereof on a bend at the respective side of the carding engine. Carding elements (19) are carried by an elongate carrier (14), the support bar and carrier having interengaging formations (15,16) which restrain these parts against relative lateral movement. Adjusting means (24,25) are provided in at least two spaced locations along the support bar for adjusting the spacing between the support bar and the carrier. Each adjusting means has an associated locking means (23) for releasably locking the support bar and the carrier in an adjusted position in order to achieve a required setting of the carding elements in relation to the main carding cylinder.
