  • Patent number: 10301749
    Abstract: A circular comb of a combing machine has a base body oriented parallel to a rotational axis of the circular comb, the base body including an inner support surface and a radially oriented opening. A comb element is disposed on an outer circumference of the base body, and a retaining element having a threaded bore is connected to the comb element. A threaded bolt has a threaded first section that engages into the threaded bore, a middle section that protrudes through the radially oriented opening the in base body, and a second end section supported on the inner support surface of the base body. A diameter of the first end section of the threaded bolt is smaller than a diameter of the middle section. A spring element is provided between the inner support surface of the base body and the second end section of the threaded bolt.

  • Publication number: 20170073847
    Abstract: The invention relates to a circular comb (1) of a combing machine, comprising a base body (5) which is situated in parallel to its rotation axis (D) and which has at least one comb element (K1-K4) resting on its outer circumference (U), and at least one retaining element (10, 40) which is connected to the comb element and which has at least one threaded bore (18) into which in each case a first end section (E1) of a threaded bolt (6) provided with a thread protrudes, the threaded bolt having a middle section (14) which protrudes through a radially oriented opening (12) in the base body (5), and the threaded bolt (6) being provided with a second end section (E2) with which it is supported on an inner support surface (26) of the base body (5) in the area of the particular opening (12), the cross-sectional area of the second end section (E2) extending, at least partially, beyond the cross-sectional area of the particular opening (12).
