Patent number: 6508698Abstract: A device for grinding clothing teeth and wire, or for cleaning cylinders, in a textile machine includes a grinding part having an elastic layer and grinding elements embedded throughout the elastic layer. The elastic layer is formed into a shape for being pressed against the clothing teeth, wire, or cylinder of the textile machine, and is formed of a material such that the elastic layer is worn by the clothing teeth, wire, or cylinder. In this way, the underlying embedded grinding elements are exposed.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2000Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Rieter AGInventor: Jürg Faas

Patent number: 6431969Abstract: A grinding device for the flats of a card comprises elastically bendable elements which enter between the card clothing points, brush across the lateral surface of the points and thus grind them, whereat the material that has been ground off is removed by a suction means. The grinding device may be portable so as to be used on different card machines. A control system may be provided to engage and operate the device in an interrmitten manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2000Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Rieter AGInventors: Christian Sauter, Beat Bühler

Patent number: 5797788Abstract: A card clothing is mounted on a support and rotatable therewith about an axis. A grinding apparatus for the card clothing has an abrasive grinding element, a base juxtaposed with the card clothing, and an elastic biasing element for pressing the grinding element radially of the axis against the card clothing so that when the support and card clothing are rotating the element grinds the card clothing. The grinding element is displaceable radially outward away from the card clothing against a force of the biasing element from a grinding position engaging the card clothing to a rest position out of contact with the card clothing. The apparatus has a mechanism for withdrawing the grinding element against the force of the biasing element into the rest position and for retaining it in the rest position. An abutment is provided furthermore for defining a position of closest approach of the grinding element to the axis and hence, how much it will grind down the card clothing.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 1997Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: Graf & CIE AGInventors: Ralph A. Graf, Stefan Geisser
