Abstract: A spindle of an airjet spinning machine for guiding back the free yarn end after an interruption in a spinning process is disclosed. The spindle contains an injector duct in the immediate vicinity of the spindle orifice. To guide the free yarn end back after an interruption, compressed air is admitted through the injector duct and generates a suction action at the spindle end. After the yarn end has been guided back level with the entrance of the injector duct the yarn end is blown out of the spindle orifice by the compressed air.

Abstract: A spindle (10) for an airjet spinning machine is proposed, which, for guiding back (B) the yarn end after an interruption in a spinning process, contains: an injector duct (1) which issues in the immediate vicinity of the spindle orifice (8). For guiding back, compressed air is admitted through the injector duct (1) and generates a suction action at the spindle end (11). After the yarn end has been guided back (B) level with the entrance of the injector duct (1) into the yarn guide duct (5), the yarn end is blown out of the spindle orifice (8) by the compressed air.

The device contains in particular a fiber guide element, a fiber conveying channel, and an eddy chamber housing attached to the fiber guide element. The eddy chamber housing contains in its turn a spindle with a yarn guide channel arranged at a distance interval from the fiber guide element. In addition, the eddy chamber housing contains a fluid device with at least one jet nozzle for the production of an eddy current about an inlet aperture mouth of the yarn guide channel. The fiber conveying channel exhibits a tunnel cladding, which is dimensioned in such a way that at the end of the fiber conveying channel a step to the eddy chamber housing is formed.

Abstract: The invention in the sector of textile technology relates to a housing (1) with a roller pair (2) mounted in it, whereby the housing and the roller pair (2) are for preference constituent part of an apron drafting device (3). The roller pair (2) consist of a bottom roller (4) and a top roller (5), which together form a nip or grip line (6). Both rollers are mounted in the housing (1), whereby one roller (5) is mounted rigid or essentially only movable in the housing (1) in the plane (7) formed by the two axles of the rollers (4, 5). The other roller (4), by contrast, is mounted so as to be movable in the housing (1) in such a way that the nip or grip line (6) can thereby be moved. According to the invention, the roller (4) mounted in the housing (1) so as to be movable exhibits an apron (8).

Abstract: The invention concerns a start of spinning or the method of piecing for spinning positions of air spinning frames, which, during a spinning process, produce a thread from a longitudinal fiber structure and which, for this, comprise a fineness influencing unit with parts drivable at the inlet side and part drivable at the outlet side with clamping points, a means for the air twist generation and a means for the thread take-off, whereby, after an interruption of the spinning process, the resumption of the production of the thread comprises the following steps. In particular, the method does provide for,that the start-up of the part of the drafting unit, driven at the outlet side, takes place with a subsequent time coordinated and delayed start-up of the part driven at the inlet side, in such a manner that the end portions of the torn longitudinal fiber structure and of the thread end overlap and pass, in overlapping condition, the clamping point of the part driven at the outlet side.

Abstract: The invention concerns a start of spinning or the method of piecing for spinning positions of air spinning frames, which, during a spinning process, produce a thread (11) from a longitudinal fibre structure (10′) and which, for this, comprise a finess influencing unit (28) with parts (30, 29) drivable at the inlet side and part (32) drivable at the outlet side with clamping points (11), a means for the air twist generation (3) and a means for the thread take-off, whereby, after an interruption of the spinning process, the resumption of the production of the thread comprises the following steps.

Abstract: The application relates to a device for air spinning, i.e. for the manufacture of a spun thread (10) from a staple sliver (1, 24). The device contains in particular a fibre guide element (3, 22), a fibre conveying channel (4), and an eddy chamber housing (15) attached to the fibre guide element (3, 22). The eddy chamber housing (15) contains in its turn a spindle (7) arranged at a distance interval from the fibre guide element (3, 22), with a yarn guide channel (8). In addition, the eddy chamber housing (15) contains a fluid device with at least one jet nozzle (13.1) for the production of an eddy current (11) about the inlet aperture mouth (9) of the yarn guide channel.

Abstract: The measure for influencing the flow in the yarn guide duct is that the flow in the spindle channel is influenced after the fiber guide surface to the spindle cone and by the inlet opening into the spindle channel by means in such a way that the entrance behavior of the fiber ends and the spreading of the rear fiber ends occurs in weak or suppressed counter-flow or in co-flow and that said means are flow-active connections between the outflow channel and the spindle channel, e.g. passages by means of bores or by using fluid-permeable sintered materials.

Abstract: In a fiber-processing machine with a separating edge, in which both fibers as well as air are guided past the edge in a substantially predetermined conveying direction, air layers loaded with dirt particles or waste are deflected by means of the edge from the stream of fibers/air. The removal of dirt is aided at first by means of blast air.

Abstract: Snarls are formed at winding machines and the like when the thread tension is reduced. By reducing the angle .alpha. which the thread forms with the end surface or face of the delivery bobbin or spool the friction between the thread and the bobbin edge can be increased to such an extent that no thread coils or turns can disengage from the surface of the delivery bobbin and become snarled even when the thread tension decreases. The reduction in the angle .alpha. may be achieved by lowering a thread guide eye towards the delivery bobbin, by lifting the delivery bobbin or by deflecting the thread at an extension or protection provided at the bobbin. Upon deflecting the thread at the extension a thread reserve can be provided by applying thread turns at the extension in a direction opposite to the thread turns wound on the bobbin and which thread reserve can be eliminated in a simple manner by withdrawing the same as a whole or in sections.

The bobbin tubes are alternately brought into contact, during pivoting of the pivotal arm, first with the circumference of an accelerating ring and then with the circumference of a friction drive drum. The circumferential speed of the accelerating ring exceeds that of the friction drive drum. The accelerating ring can be driven independent of the friction drive drum.
