Abstract
A travelling flats assembly for a carding machine comprises two end rollers; an endless flexible belt trained about the end rollers for a circulating travel, and a plurality of clothed flat bars arranged to be entrained by the endless flexible belt for circulating travel therewith. Each flat bar has a head forming a longitudinal end of the flat bar. There are further provided a stationary slide guide extending between the end rollers along the lower flight of the endless belt and slidably engaging and supporting the flat bars when entrained for travel by the lower flight; and a form-fitting connection for coupling the head of each flat bar to the outwardly-oriented face of the endless belt. The form-fitting connection allows an unobstructed freedom of motion of each flat bar in a direction generally perpendicularly away from and towards the outwardly-oriented belt face, whereby the flat bars are freely removable from and placed in an operative position onto the outwardly-oriented face of the upper flight of the endless belt.
