Abstract: A circular comb for a comber includes a basic body fastened on a shaft in a rotationally locked manner. A comb clothing is supported on an outer circumference of the basic body and includes clothing tips that define an outer enclosing circle. A guide element following the basic body viewed in a combing direction of the comb clothing includes a first guide surface that adjoins the basic body, is arranged within the enclosing circle, and has a radial clearance from the enclosing circle. The guide element includes a second guide surface that adjoins and forms an obtuse angle with the first guide surface. A length of the second guide surface is at least twice as great as a length of the first guide surface, as viewed in a circumferential direction of the circular comb.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circular comb (R) for a comber having a basic body (18, 20), which is fastened on a circular comb shaft (15) in a rotationally locked manner and supports, on the outer circumference thereof, at least one comb clothing (G), the clothing tips of which form an outer enclosing circle (HK), and a guide element (7, 7a) fastened on the circular comb is provided following—as viewed in the combing direction (L) of the comb clothing—the basic body supporting the comb clothing (G), said guide element having at least two mutually adjacent guide surfaces (f1-f3), wherein the first guide surface (f1), which adjoins the basic body (18, 20), is arranged within the enclosing circle (HK) and with substantially consistent radial clearance (e) from the enclosing circle, and the adjoining second guide surface (f2) forms an obtuse angle (?) with the first guide surface (f1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a feed cylinder (12) for a nipper assembly (2) of a comber, said feed cylinder being connected to an electromotive drive (M) via a gear stage (G). In order to obtain a simple and flexible drive for the feed cylinder, which is also protected against contaminants, it is proposed that the electromotive drive (M) and the gear stage (G) are installed inside the feed cylinder (12), which is designed as a hollow body (H).
