Abstract
A carding engine having a main toothed cylinder, a taker-in, a doffer, and a revolving flats assembly positioned above the outer periphery of the cylinder in the region between the taker-in and the doffer, in which a fixed bend and a flexible bend are adjustably interconnected so as to define a required working path for the moveable flats whereby the spacing between the fixed bend and the adjustable bend can be adjusted to enable any desired predetermined clearance values to be pre-set between the tips of the flats and the outer periphery of the main cylinder, and including a number of setting devices which are arranged at spaced apart setting locations with respect to the working path and which operative to provide a predictable adjustment movement from the pre-set clearance values between the tips of the flats and the outer periphery of the main cylinder set by the adjustment means.
