  • Textile yarn spinning machine with improved supply strand interruption means
    Patent number: 4581881
    Abstract: Apparatus for use in combination with a traveling unit including sensor and remote actuator means to interrupt supply strand feeding to drafting systems of a textile spinning machine. A collar means is rotatably mounted on an elongate strand guide and one side thereof serves as a strand engaging surface. An abutment member mounted on the strand guide serves as the other of the strand engaging surfaces. Means are provided for moving the strand engaging surfaces longitudinally along the elongate strand guide and into a proximate relation with one another upon the sensing of a broken yarn so as to pinch the supply strand and thereby interrupt feed of the supply strand to the drafting system.

  • Textile yarn spinning machine with supply strand interruption
    Patent number: 4506498
    Abstract: Apparatus for use in combination with a traveling unit including sensor and remote actuator means to interrupt supply strand feeding to drafting systems of a textile spinning machine. Interruption is accomplished through the cooperation of an elongate strand guide and a rotatably mounted collar including a longitudinal projection. Upon rotation of the collar, the supply strand is pinched between the collar projection and the elongate strand guide causing strand breakage.
