Zusammenfassung:Doffer wire for the card clothing of rotatable doffers used in carding heads for delivering fibers to the needles of a sliver high pile fabric knitting machine having improved fiber release characteristics. The doffer wires are constituted of a shank portion, which is embedded in cantilevered fashion in the card clothing, distal portions which are raked by the knitting machine needles to remove fibers therefrom, and bent or knee portions which connect the shank portions of the doffer wires to the distal portions thereof. The knee portions are formed with an angle greater than 130 degrees and less than 180 degrees, the preferred angle being on the order of 155 degrees.
