  • the card cylinder 1 receives the fibers which are to be treated, for instance cotton fibers, from the pretearing roll 3 and transports such then in the direction of the arrow r into the region of the flats 5.
  • the peripheral velocity of the card cylinder 1 is greater than the speed of movement of the flats 5.
  • the hooks 7 attempt to hold back the loosened fibrous material, whereas the tips 2a of the teeth 2b of the cylinder clothing 2 of the card cylinder 1 loosens the individual fibers out of the fiber bunch or bundle, entrains such and transmits same to the take-off roll 4.
  • the flats 5 of this invention similar to the conventional flats of the prior art, generally possess a base portion or element 8 formed of fabric layers which, have been adhesively bonded to one another, and in which double hooks 7 formed of steel wire are inserted.
  • the steel wire which can possess any desired cross-section, is inserted in the fabric layers of the base 8 in the form of a U, as best seen by referring to FIG.
  • the base of the U-shaped wires being located in the fabric layers of the base 8 and extending parallel to the lengthwise axis of the associated flat 5.
  • Each leg of the U-shaped wires which protrudes out of the fabric layers of the base 8 forms a hook-like element or book 7. Therefore, at each flat 5 there are arranged a number of rows of these hooks which are in alignment and spaced behind one another.
  • each hook 7 consists of an inner section 9 which is located at the side of the base and an outer section 10. Both sections 9 and 10 are flexed or bent with respect to one another and form an elbow or knee II.
  • each hook 7 is inclined at an angle a, the so-called penetration or needle angle, with respect to a straight line passing through the bottom point of such section 9 and perpendicular to the base portion 8 of the corresponding flat 5, and wherein the inclination of such base-side section 9 is in the direction of flow or movement A of the material.
  • the outer section 10 of each book 7 is inclined at an angle B, the so-called combor bending angle, with respect to a straight line extending through its base or bottom point which is disposed at the elbow or knee 11 and perpendicular to the base portion 8 of such flat 5, the inclination of the outer section 10 being opposite to the direction of flow A of the MATERIAL. material.
  • the penetration angle a as well as the comb angle [3, remains the same for all books. Furthermore, all of the elbows or knees ll of all of the books 7 are located at the same elevation above the plane or surface of the base portion 8.
