Abstract: A transport system includes at least one product carrier which is adapted to be moved along a slide way by means of a linear motor drive unit comprising a primary part and a secondary part. In order to improve the transport system in such a way that basically any number of product carriers can be moved along the slide way independently of one another and can be used in a versatile manner for transporting different types of products or workpieces, the product carrier is provided with a substantially flat base plate for transporting objects, the base plate having associated therewith the primary part, and the slide way having associated therewith the secondary part.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for repairing thread breakage occurring in an open-end spinning machine which includes a spinning rotor, a pair of draw rollers, a thread tension sensor and thread windup spindles. The end of the thread to be reattached to fibers located within the spinning rotor is guided back from the windup spindle in such a way as to bypass the drawoff rollers and avoid being pinched thereby. The thread is passed alongside one of the draw rollers, preferably on a specially configured conical surface which facilitates eventual reinsertion between the two draw rollers.The drive of the windup spindle is restarted by the tension sensor when it detects the reattachment of the end of the thread to the fibers in the spinning rotor as manifested by the increased tension in the thread. The increased tension pulls the thread between the drawoff rollers which transport it to the windup spindle at normal operating speed.
