Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for processing a set mounted on a clothing carrier, in particular Sawtooth all-steel set, with at least one processing tool and one for guiding the machining tool along a given path guiding device.
  • a Carding is used in fiber processing for cleaning and Parallelization of individual fibers used.
  • the drum is an approximately circular cylinder Designated roller, which on its outer surface with a generally from a spiral sawtooth wire formed set is equipped, being the carrier serving circular cylindrical roller rotatable about its cylinder axis is.
  • As a cover are approximately parallel to the cylinder axis of the Tambours trending fiber processing elements called that also on their side facing the drum set one of them, for example, from saw tooth wire sections or scratch wire existing set are equipped.
  • the drum For fiber processing the drum is rotated and takes with it the fibers to be processed, whereby by interaction the drum set with the cover sets one The fibers are parallelized and cleaned.
  • the drum a carding machine-like fiber processing tools that also Usually referred to as drum, come in carding machines used in the manufacture or processing of worsted, synthetic fibers, non-woven fabrics, cotton wool u. Like. Be used.
  • the cylinder axis usually has a width of at least 1.5 meters and the reel of a carding machine can have a length of up to 5 m
  • abrasive elements are used that run parallel to one another to the cylinder axis of the spool guide device are movable back and forth, so the entire Width of the drum using a relatively small one To be able to edit the grinding element.
  • the invention has for its object a device for processing a set mounted on a set carrier specify which, while ensuring satisfactory Functionality is easy to install on site.
  • this task is achieved through further training the known processing devices solved in is essentially characterized in that the guide device at least two between a working position and one Has adjustable guide elements in the transport position, the guide elements in the working position along one extend longer section of the predetermined path than in the Transport position.
  • the dimensions of the processing device are decisive determining guide device in at least two guide elements is disassembled so that the total length of the processing device reduced to at least about half for transportation purposes can be.
  • This will make transportation easier Processing device according to the invention allows for the site.
  • the processing device according to the invention can be used on site then in a simple way into the working position be adjusted in which the guide elements along the entire predetermined path, for example along the total width of the reel of a carding machine in the direction the drum axis extends from 2.5 to 5 meters, so one to allow complete processing of the set.
  • the processing device according to the invention also two completely separate from each other in the transport position Can have guide elements, it has for the Transport and assembly proven to be particularly useful if the guide elements are still in the transport position are connected to each other because it can ensure that the individual guide elements always match the matching guide elements be assigned.
  • the guide elements have at least one a hinge axis running perpendicular to the specified path having, preferably formed in the form of a folding hinge Joint are interconnected because the individual joint elements, such as the individual hinge tabs in particular can be easily attached to the guide elements and by using a one perpendicular to the given path extending axis already having an alignment the individual, for example in the form of guide rails formed guide elements ensured in one level becomes.

It has been used to avoid excessive Elongation of the tension member when adjusting the invention Processing device between the working position and the transport position proved to be particularly advantageous if the tension member is releasably attached to the processing tool.
  • the processing device also one regarding the management device definable and preferably displaceable along the predetermined path Limiting element for limiting the movement of the from the processing element detached fastener Have processing tool along the specified path.
  • the just described guidance of the processing element loosened fastener can be realized particularly easily become, if at least one of the guide elements a extending along the given path and for receiving a guide groove serving a guide region of the machining tool has because this guide groove also for guiding the Fastener can be used.
