DRAWING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: textile industry. SUBSTANCE: drawing apparatus has feeding and drawing pairs with combing section between them. Combing section is defined by comb-shaped planks with needles. Drawing apparatus is equipped with flexible members, each positioned between opposite respective combing plank at the side of its free end and with profiled pattern. Pattern profile is joined to opposite free ends of combing planks, and flexible members are designed so as to press combing planks to pattern. Pattern profile allows combing planks to reciprocate in direction perpendicular to direction of drawing toward drawing pair. Fibrous material in combing section is subjected to simultaneous action of combing planks with needles reciprocating perpendicular to direction of drawing of fibrous material toward drawing pair during simultaneous movement thereof in this direction. EFFECT: improved quality of fibrous product by reduced amount of floating fibers and improved straightening and parallelism. 1 dwg
