Abstract
A top comb for a combing machine, comprising a top comb carrier which has a retaining section that is connected to a carrier plate to which a needle strip or a top comb clothing is fastened, the top comb carrier in the area of its retaining section being fixable to a top comb retainer by means of at least one retaining bracket that is associated with the top comb retainer. In order to minimize the wear between the top comb carrier and a retaining bracket that is hinged to a top comb retainer, it is proposed that at least two additional retaining elements are mounted on the retaining section of the top comb and can be encompassed by one retaining bracket in each case, the retaining means, at least in the area that can be encompassed by the respective retaining bracket, being made of a material that is harder than the retaining section.
