Abstract: A two-for-one twisting or cabling spindle apparatus (1) with a supply bobbin (4) mounted on a pot base (2) of a stationary protective pot (3) and a spindle (6) arranged below the protective pot (3) to guide a yarn (5) to be processed during a twisting or cabling process. The spindle (6) is rotatably mounted by a lower bearing device (7) in a bearing housing (9) fixed on a spindle rail (8) and an upper bearing device (11) mounted to the stationary protective pot (3). The largest diameter (d) of the rotatably mounted spindle (6) is at least 10% less than the diameter (D) of a touching line (23) of the pot base (2) of the stationary protective pot (3) with the yarn (5).

Abstract: A textile yarn processing machine, in particular a yarn twisting machine, having a plurality of spindle assembly working positions, which is enclosed on both longitudinal sides over its full height with a soundproofing cover comprising several paneling elements which are movable for partially overlapping each other. Between the paneling elements and the working positions of the machine, maintenance units are arranged, which are able to move also in the closed condition of the paneling elements.
