  • Patent number: 12421632
    Abstract: An elastic cleaning lip for cleaning a rotating roller of a drafting system of a textile machine includes a wiping edge configured at one longitudinal side of the cleaning lip. A mounting element is at an opposite longitudinal side of the cleaning lip and is configured to mount to a support element. The cleaning lip has a Y-shaped cross section having a stem and two essentially parallel legs, wherein the wiping edge is arranged at an end of the stem and the two legs form the mounting element for a form-locking mounting of the cleaning lip to the support element. The support element includes retainers at opposite longitudinal ends thereof and a mounting strip having lateral faces and top and bottom end faces arranged between the retainers. The lateral faces and the top end face are configured for the form-locking mounting with the cleaning lip.

  • Publication number: 20240003064
    Abstract: An autoleveller draw frame includes a drafting system having a plurality of roller combinations. A drive unit configured with the plurality of roller combinations has a main motor that drives a first roller combination at a constant main rotational speed. A regulating motor regulates a rotational speed of a second roller combination wherein, due to the regulation, the rotational speed of the second roller combination is changeable from a basic rotational speed into an autolevelling speed. The basic rotational speed depends on the main rotational speed and the autolevelling speed is independent of the main rotational speed, wherein the drafting of the fibrous web is adjustable. The regulating motor is drive-independent of the main motor to drive the second roller combination at the autolevelling speed according to an electrical signal that is based on the main rotational speed.
