Abstract: The invention relates to a drafting device with twin top front rollers surrounded by aprons in which the aprons are guided around deflection members arranged above the area facing away from the clamping surface of the front roller pair. In order to achieve a low-friction, brake-free and low-wear running of the aprons, they are guided with only a slight tension around the deflection members. For this, the tendency of the aprons to assume a circular form in the circumferential direction is utilized. This tendency brings about, with the appropriately selected interval between the top front rollers and between the surfaces of the deflection members, the low contact pressure on the surfaces striven for and the low tractive tension in the aprons striven for.

Abstract: A spinning machine drafting device includes a pressure roller loaded against a lower roller such that a fiber structure is conveyed between the roller pair. The pressure roller has an outer circumferential layer disposed around an inner circumferential layer of different low friction material as compared to the outer layer. The outer layer is thinner than the inner layer and disposed around the inner layer so as to slide relative to the inner layer upon rotation of the pressure roller in operation of the drafting device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a covering for drafting rollers of spinning machines, which consists of an outer and of an inner layer. The outer layer (1) is harder than the inner layer (2) and has a thinner wall than that of the inner layer, and the drafting roller is pressed as a pressure roller against a fluted steel cylinder (5). The outer layer loosely (6) surrounds the inner layer whereby enabling the outer layer to move relative to the inner layer.
