Abstract
The description relates to a facility for needling of fleece with at least one needle board driven to and fro in stitching direction, which can be additionally driven in pendulum fashion in fleece feed direction (15) by means of an eccentric drive, which is provided with a connecting rod (3) articulated to a rocker arm (4) and a connecting pitman (8) to the needle board effective on this connecting rod assembly. To be able to easily adjust the rocking amplitude of the needle board in fleece feed direction (15) it is suggested that the swivel bearing (5) of the rocker arm (4) is seated on a rotatable crank arm (6) and that, for adjustment of the rocking amplitude of the connecting pitman (8), the neutral rocking position of the rocker arm (4) is adjustable via the crank arm (6) between an end position essentially running in the direction of the connecting pitman (8) and an end position running transverse thereto.
