Abstract
The combing head has a pair of lateral guide elements mounted on the lower nipper part with each having a fiber guide surface disposed in front of the front edge of the lower nipper plate in order to laterally guide the fiber tuft extending from the lower nipper plate. The lateral guide elements are connected with a second pair of lateral guide elements on the lower nipper plate behind the front edge of the lower nipper plate. The second pair of guide elements also have fiber guide surfaces for guiding the lateral side edges of the fiber tuft. The pairs of guide elements each define a space therebetween of decreasing width in a perpendicular direction relative to the plane of the lower nipper plate.
