Abstract: The spinning device for open-end spinning comprises a withdrawal nozzle secured to a cover of a rotor housing for a spinning rotor and a nozzle body coacting with the withdrawal nozzle. The withdrawal nozzle and the nozzle body conjointly form a withdrawal passage or channel for the thread or the like produced by the spinning rotor. The cover is provided with a receiving socket which fixes the position of the nozzle body in radial direction, the nozzle body being inserted into the receiving socket. The nozzle body is pressed against the withdrawal nozzle by means of a manually-operable elastic device. The formation of the receiving socket permits insertion and removal of the nozzle body from the front side, that is from the service side of the spinning device. This provides the advantage of ready accessibility of the nozzle body and, in turn, thus affords easy replacement thereof. Replacement can be carried out without the use of tools.

Abstract: This is a process and apparatus for the preparation of fasciated spun yarns, which includes feeding separate single fibers formed by opening and drafting a continuous staple fiber bundle into a rotor (20), collecting and holding the single fibers on a fiber-collecting portion of the rotor (20) and taking out the collected fibers through a center piece (26) by delivery rollers (33) while strongly false-twisting the collected fibers in the same direction as that of true twists given by the rotor (20) into a twisted yarn by a false-twisting apparatus arranged between the rotor (20) and the delivery rollers (33), wherein the separated single fibers are supplied to a travelling plane for the twisted yarn between the fiber-collecting portion of the rotor (20) and the center piece (26) to entangle some of the single fibers with the twisted yarn in the strongly false-twisted state, and the entangled single fibers are entwined around the periphery of the twisted yarn by subsequent release of the false twists of the tw

Abstract: An open-end spinning unit is provided which has a spinning rotor open on one side and a bottom wall and an inner wall. A closing element covers the open side of the rotor and includes a fiber supply duct. To enhance the air conveyance of fibers to the inner wall, at least one suction opening is provided downstream of an outlet opening of the fiber supply duct in the closing element so that an airstream directed from the outlet opening toward the suction opening is generated in the same direction as the direction of rotation of the rotor. This invention is applicable not only to a forced-exhaustion type of unit but also to a self-exhaustion type of unit.

Abstract: An open-end spinning rotor located on a rotor shaft (20) having a collar (3). The open-end spinning rotor (1) is pressed against the collar (3) by means of a clamping disk (4). The collar (3) is designed as a second clamping disk (31) which is attached to the rotor shaft (20) in an opposite arrangement to that of the first clamping disk (4).

Abstract: An improved spinning rotor for an open-end spinning frame is disclosed herein, according to which the rotor is made of steel, and selected portions of its interior peripheral surfaces, including the fiber-collecting groove thereof, which is formed along the maximum-diameter region within the spinning chamber, are heat-treated by a focused laser beam or focused electron beam to harden the same. Due to the nature of laser beams, only those areas which require surface hardening are heat-treated without heating the entire rotor body, so that no strain or distortion is developed in the rotor during the heat treatment process. As a result, the rotor is heat-treated to provide excellent wear-resisting properties and exceptional stability in operation at an extremely high speed for an extended period of service.

Abstract: Spinning rotor for an open-end spinning machine including a rotational body having a hollow interior, the body being formed of steel and having thereon a surface layer formed of at least one of the compounds iron carbide, iron boride, iron silicide and iron nitride at least at locations of the hollow interior thereof at which the spinning rotor comes into contact with spinning fibers being spun into a thread, the steel body with the surface layer thereon being tempered and having increased ductility at high elastic limits, and a method of manufacturing a spinning rotor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for spinning a modified fasciated yarn at a high production rate featuring a combination of open-end spinning and fasciated yarn spinning. A sliver is opened by a combing roller and deposited as a fiber layer on a fiber collecting surface of a drum rotor rotating at a high speed. Thereafter, the fiber layer is drawn off from the fiber collecting surface as a continuous fiber bundle by a central rotor rotating coaxially with the drum rotor at a faster speed. During the drawing-off operation, the fiber bundle is flattened to a ribbon form by making contact to a deflector and is subjected to a vortex within an air twisting nozzle mounted on the central rotor to form a resultant yarn. According to the present invention, high production rate can be obtained because a roller drafting system having aprons can be omitted.

Abstract: Open-end spinning device, including a rotor housing, a spinning rotor being disposed in the rotor housing and having an inner surface, a housing cover having a fiber feeding channel formed therein, a thread delivery orifice being at least partly disposed in the cover and having a hard and wear-resistant material surface at thread deflection locations, and a surface layer of wear-resistant material disposed on the inner surface of the spinning rotor, the surface layer having areas of different wearability distributed therein.
