Abstract

Device for cleaning Morel cylinders of a wool card, comprising a tool carrier (1) displaceable along the Morel cylinder (2). The tool carrier (1) is mounted on a carriage (3) displaceable on a tube (4), extending parallel to the axis of the Morel cylinder (2), and comprises at one end a cleaner (5) in the form of a semi-rigid self-cleaning covering and/or rigid steel blades and at its other end a counter-weight (6). The tool carrier (1) is mounted pivotally on the carriage (3) by a shaft (7) fixed on the carriage (3), and the cleaner is flexibly urged against the Morel cylinder (2) by the counter-weight (6). The upper surface of the cleaner (5) is turned toward the Morel cylinder (2) and coacts with the spiral winding of the covering of the Morel cylinder (2) such that the rotation of this latter gives rise to an axial displacement of the tool carrier (1) and of the cleaner (5).
