Dispositif principal d'une laineuse pour le duvetage (grattage ou lainage) des étoffes. Le duvetage a d'abord été réalisé en employant des brosses formées de chardons végétaux. On utilise maintenant la laineuse qui comprend un tambour rotatif supportant une série de petits cylindres (de 24 à 36) garnis de chardons métalliques ou pointes métalliques. L'action des chardons sur le tissu confère à sa surface un aspect duveteux et un toucher doux. Les chardons naturels sont encore utilisés pour certaines étoffes. 2, record 9, French, - tambour%20d%26rsquo%3Bune%20machine%20%C3%A0%20lainer
