Patent ID: 7360735

Claim:
A device for winding a card clothing ( 4 ) onto a roll ( 6 ) with a roll drive unit ( 7 ) and a braking device ( 5 ) acting on the card clothing ( 4 ) for generating a winding pretension in a region ( 12 ) of the card clothing ( 4 ) between the roll ( 6 ) and the braking device ( 5 ), a force measuring device ( 34 ) being provided which is configured to measure the force acting on a mounting point of the braking device ( 5 ), characterized in that the braking device ( 5 ) is positioned on a slide, the slide together with the braking device ( 5 ) is movably arranged substantially in a direction longitudinal to the winding direction of the card clothing ( 4 ) and against the force measuring device ( 34 ), the force measuring device ( 34 ) is supported on a stop means ( 33 ), and the force measuring device ( 34 ) is positioned between the slide and the stop means ( 33 ) so that the slide rests on the force measuring device ( 34 ) and the stop means ( 33 ) during the winding operation, the force measuring device ( 34 ) being configured to directly measure, at least in a winding operation, the support force of the slide on the stop means.
