Abstract
A flat section is positioned above a cylinder of a flat carding machine to accomplish a carding action therebetween. The flat section comprises a pair of endless chains supported for rotation in spaced relationship with each other, and a number of flat bars bridged between the paired chains so that they are arranged parallel to each other with clearances therebetween. One end of each flat bar is connected to a connected portion of one chain at which adjacent chain links are connected together and the other end of each flat bar is similarly connected to a corresponding connected portion of the other chain. Between each adjacent pair of flat bars is positioned a closing member, the opposite ends thereof being connected between the adjacent connected portions of the paired chains so that a longitudinal center axis of each closing member coincides with that of the associated clearance in all positions thereof with respect to the direction of rotation of the chains.
