Question:

In Modern Comber, which will be in the form of one fourth moon shape in size?

Show Hint

  • Comber machine parts: Nippers, half-lap/unicomb (combing cylinder), top comb, detaching rollers, web condenser/trumpet.
  • The web condenser} or trumpet gathers the combed web and forms it into a sliver. Its guiding surfaces are typically curved to achieve this.
  • A "one fourth moon shape" likely refers to the curved profile of a component in the web condensing area.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

A comber machine processes cotton fibers to remove short fibers (noils) and improve parallelization.
  • Plane segment: A general term; parts of the top comb or unicomb might have planar sections.
  • Table Calendar: Likely a misspelling for "calender roller" (cylindrical) or "top comb" (flat bar with needles). Neither is "one fourth moon shape".
  • Improved Nipper: Nippers are jaw-like mechanisms that grip the fiber tuft. Not moon-shaped.
  • Web condenser (or Trumpet): After combing, the fibers form a wide, thin web. This web is gathered and condensed into a sliver by passing through a web condenser or trumpet. These condensing elements often have curved internal surfaces to smoothly guide and converge the fibers. A "one fourth moon shape" (crescent shape) could describe the profile or cross-section of such a guiding or condensing component within the web condensing zone.
The web condenser is responsible for funneling the wide web of combed fibers into a sliver. The guiding surfaces of these condensers are often curved. A part of such a guide, if viewed in cross-section or as a segment, might resemble a "one fourth moon shape." \[ \boxed{\text{Web condenser}} \]
