  • Patent number: 10858765
    Abstract: A work station of a textile machine includes a plurality of fiber-guiding work elements that are divided into at least two groups. A first work station part is defined at the work station on which a first group of the fiber-guiding work elements is arranged. A second work station part is defined at the work station on which a second group of the fiber-guiding work elements is arranged. The second work station part is arranged in a movable manner relative to the first work station part at the work station or is arranged in a removable manner at the work station. A pneumatic thread storage element is also provided for a work station of a textile machine for the temporary receiving of a thread, and includes a multi-part structure with a first thread storage section and a second thread storage section connected to one another at a separation point.

  • Publication number: 20040232269
    Abstract: The invention relates to a friction roller and to a support for the driving of a bobbin on a textile machine, whereby the friction roller drives the bobbin by means of friction on its outer circumference. A support is installed on the friction roller and is provided with a friction coating. The support is made in several parts and consists of curved sections. Each of the sections reaches around the friction roller by more than 180°.

  • Patent number: 5765356
    Abstract: In a spinning machine with a tube magazine (1) several tube mandrils (3) placed on a conveyor are provided for the placement of a tube (4) at a time. At a removal station (2) a take-up device 21 to take up individual tubes (4) from the tube magazine (1) is provided. A nose (13) is provided at the free end of the tube mandril (3). The length (L) of the tube mandril (3) between conveyor and nose (13) is greater than the length (I) of the tube (4). The nose (13) has a smaller outside diameter (d) than the inside diameter (D) of the tube (4). A device to lift the tube (4) is provided at the removal station (2).
