Abstract

An improved carding apparatus having a support with a concave part located next to the periphery of a main cylinder having a carding garrison with teeth on its surface to retain the fibers to be carded, said concave part having a curvature corresponding to that of the card lining of the main cylinder, whose improvement includes; (A) adjacent rows of circumferentially curved metal wire base portions, having a predetermined reverse curvature therein, extending through said main cylinder; (B) curved outer parts of said wire base parts having a curvature corresponding to that of the concave part; (C) curved tooth-bearing parts of said wire base parts facing the outer curved parts and having a corresponding curvature thereto; (D) inverted, separate carding teeth, integrally supported in said curved tooth support portions, protruding inwardly; (E) a carding surface defined by said inverted teeth, having a curvature corresponding to that of the carding lining; (F) said inverted teeth being of such configuration in order to avoid loading, (G) said curved base parts of metallic wire being secured to the support, and (H) said curved outer parts, said curved parts bearing the teeth. and said inverted card teeth have a curvature corresponding to that of the concave part by virtue of an opposite conformation, prior to fixing on said support; whereby said support can be placed with said inverted teeth in carding relationship disposed towards the teeth of the main cylinder lining so that carding takes place continuously on substantially the entire card surface defined by said inverted teeth, and thus an increased carding area can be provided which allows the removal of planes, card rollers and the like while offering an improved carding action with less waste.
