Abstract: A coiler plate is provided for sliver coil depositing. The coiler plate has a rotational axis, a spatially curved sliver channel having a wall, an inside wall surface, a sliver inlet, and a sliver outlet. The sliver inlet is arranged substantially coaxial with the rotational axis, and the sliver outlet is arranged at a radial distance and an axial distance from the sliver inlet. The device has a field producer that produces at least one of a magnetic field and an electric field. The field is for acting on the sliver such that the sliver is positioned away from at least a portion of the sliver channel inside wall surface.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining a point of regulation in a drafting unit includes a sensor for generating signals as a function of change in a quality-representing magnitude of the fiber material running through the drafting unit; a control device receiving the signals for varying a draft of the fiber material by the drafting unit; and an arrangement for continuously determining, during operation, optimal points of regulation based on the signals.

Abstract: A fiber processing machine includes a sliver drafting unit which has first and second adjoining roll assemblies each defining a nip through which a sliver runs in a sliver advancing direction. The second roll assembly is spaced downstream of the first roll assembly. The nips of the first and second roll assemblies together define a principal drafting field and the drafting direction thereof. At least two pressure bars are disposed in the principal drafting field for contacting and deflecting the sliver from the drafting direction as the sliver advances from the first roll assembly to the second roll assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing sewn seams and a device for carrying out the method. The invention includes two sewing needles of which all moving parts are situated only on one side of the textile. Two or more sewing needles move obliquely and alternately penetrate the entire sewing material. The loop formed by a sewing thread is taken up by the next penetrating needle. The following penetrating needle then transfers the loops of the sewing thread. The sewing needles move three-dimensionally. The method and device are suitable for sewing large, curved material that should not be creased, for example, reinforcement fabric for fiber reinforced materials.

Abstract: An open-end rotor spinning machine includes open-end spinning apparatuses each having a rotor housing, a spinning rotor revolving at high rpm in the rotor housing, and a yarn draw-off device extending into the spinning rotor. A cooling device includes a channel plate closing the rotor housing in an operating state. The channel plate has double walls defining a cooling chamber therebetween surrounding the yarn draw-off device. Connection sleeves connect the cooling chamber to a coolant loop.

Abstract: A mechanism for eliminating impurities from fibrous material, in particular cotton, having at least two card-clothed rolls (22, 23) arranged after a feed mechanism and a screening drum (3) to which said fibrous material is fed by means of an airstream. A housing closely encloses the two card-clothed rolls. Interposed in the housing are separating openings including separating edges. One of said two card-clothing rolls (23) cooperating with the other of the two card-clothed rolls has a take-off and loosener roll for the fibrous material and the centrifugal forces at the circumference of the second card-clothed roll (23) being greater than at the first card-clothed roll (22). A third card-clothed roll is positioned in carding relation with the first card-clothed roll. Another take-off and loosener roll (52) is positioned for removing fibers from the third card-clothed roll (5).

Abstract: A mechanism for the production of wrapped yarn which consists of a bundle of spun fibers wrapped around a binding thread. A hollow spindle 5 is supported between a pair of delivery rolls 1, 2 and a pair of draw-off rolls 3, 4. A rotating binding thread bobbin 7 is arranged coaxially with the hollow spindle 5 and is enclosed by a housing 8. An air flow which can be generated in the housing and/or introduced into the housing causes the pressure within the housing to be built up so as to prevent fibers and the like from entering an exit hole carried in a cover 80 provided on the housing.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring the yarn delivered by an open end spinning turbine which has an electric motor for driving the turbine with a predetermined rpm. The apparatus includes a measured value transmitting arrangement responsive to changes in the current consumption of the electric motor for generating a signal when the change in the current consumption exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The measured value transmitting arrangement is responsive to a reduction in the current consumption of the electric motor and generates a yarn breakage indicating signal when the reduction in the current consumption falls below a predetermined value indicative of yarn breakage.

Abstract: A method and device for cleaning a rotor in an open-end spinning machine. While the rotor is running at a speed less than the normal r.p.m. a first flow of cleaning air is directed to a collecting groove of the rotor and a second flow of cleaning air is simultaneously directed to the periphery of the spinning rotor at an angle different from the first flow of air. In one embodiment, at least one of the flows of air is directed in a pulsating manner. The flows or streams of air are fed through ducts provided in an extension of a cover which extends within the rotor or is supplied to the rotor by means of a movable housing.

Abstract: In the production of yarn in an open-end spinning turbine having an elastically mounted rotor bearing, a break in the yarn or an operating state which influences yarn quality is detected by means of a sensor which produces a signal representative of radial deflections of the bearing and an evaluation circuit which responds to the absence of and/or a change in the signal component produced by the sensor as a result of radial deflections created by the fiber material present on the rotor.
