    (54) Improvements in or relating to textile carding


    (57) The taker-in roller (16) of a cotton type carding machine is provided with a trash separator in the form of a knife blade (70) pointing towards the periphery of the card-clothing on the roller followed by a card-­clothed top (78) co-operating in point-to-point fashion with the card-clothing on the taker-in roller. A screen (90) extends below the feed plate (12) of the machine, spaced from the knife blade (70) and a second screen (98) extends down from the knife blade so that a region of "dead air" is created to the rear of that part of the taker-in roller which travels between the feed plate (12) and the knife blade (70).
