  • Patent number: 7313908
    Abstract: A disintegrator apparatus for textile machines is provided that includes a plurality of teeth at a tooth spacing (LZ) of no greater than about 20 mm and preferably less than about 12 mm. The teeth generally include two sections. A first section is located at a tooth apex and exhibits a positive or at least a vertical forward rake (WB). A second section is at an incline, falling in the direction of movement of the operative equipment. The separation distance between the apex of the tooth and a tangential joining point of the vertical tangent creates a transition zone between the first and second sections and forms a technologically effective tooth height (Ht). The ratio of the technologically effective tooth height to the spacing between teeth no greater than about 1.

  • Patent number: 6978594
    Abstract: A sawtooth wire to be laid in a groove of a shredding-element-carrier of a disintegrating roll of an open-end spinning apparatus is brought into a shape, which essentially represents that shape, which the sawtooth wire is to assume on the shredding-element carrier. The sawtooth wire is preshaped on a dummy body, the circumference of which predominately conforms to that of the shredding-element carrier, or the sawtooth wire is directly preshaped on the shredding-element carrier of the disintegrating roll. The preshaped sawtooth wire is subsequently hardened, preferably inductively with the aid of a high frequency alternating current with a frequency of more than 1000 kHz. In this manner, a disintegrating roll is made, the abrasion resistant shredding element of which, after the preshaping, i.e., after is securement on the shredding-element carrier, is a hardened shredding element.

  • Publication number: 20050029387
    Abstract: In order to drive a spool on a textile machine, a friction roll is provided, having a rotating body, carrying at least one friction ring. This friction ring is designed in the manner of a belt with two, open ends that are clasped together by two connectors. The two connectors, when linked together, form a releasable end fastening apparatus. The two connectors exhibit in this linkage, interlinking hooks. The fastening apparatus for the friction ring ends can serve simultaneously as a ring fastener to the friction roll. Further, the friction ring can be affixed, at a distance away from the two open ends, onto the friction roll with additional fasteners, which are uniformly distributed around the circumference of the friction roll. The two connectors and/or the friction ring exhibit a preselected radius of curvature which adapts to the radius of curvature of the outer circumference of the friction roll.

  • Patent number: 6837035
    Abstract: For the design of an opening cylinder (1) for an open-end spinning device where the opening cylinder (1) has a face (11), it is proposed that the base body (12) of the opening cylinder (1) be located on the end of a shaft (2) away from the bearing (21), whereby an axial distance (9) exists between the base body (12) and the bearing (21). To expose the gap (22) for maintenance purposes, the clothing holder (3) is designed so as to be removable in the axial direction across the bearing (21), whereby the face (11) towards the bearing (21) is formed on the clothing holder (3).
