Abstract: A single-step stable method of producing spun-twisted yarns. A twist point is located on the frictional surface of a take-off funnel of the spinning rotor. A strand material which forms a component of the final spun-twisted yarn product is exposed, between feed rollers and said twist point, to an appropriate combination of transport effects of a pneumatic field of force and a mechanical field of force. For this purpose, the tube, through which the strand material is supplied, is determined in dependence on the pneumatic conditions prevailing in the spinning rotor.

Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for the frictional spinning of yarn on the open-end principle. The apparatus includes a mechanism for supplying separated fibers onto one of frictional surfaces provided on respective rotary carriers inserted one in the other and forming a wedge-like gap therebetween in the mouth of which fibers are twisted due to friction with the two frictional surfaces moving in opposite directions in said wedge-like gap, and a mechanism for withdrawing the yarn from said mouth of said wedge-like gap and adapted to prevent any twist propagation, one frictional surface being concave and the other being convex relative to the yarn building region in the mouth of the wedge-like gap. In accordance with the invention a carrier through its front opening situated opposite its second front opening for delivering yarn withdraw from the mouth of the wedge-like gap.
