Abstract: The invention concerns a thread guide tube with a passage for the guidance of a thread exiting the thread forming zone of a spinning machine. The tube possessing a first section which is proximal to the thread forming zone, and a second section which is remote from the thread forming zone. The thread guide tube has a separation so that the thread guide tube is separable and is comprised of at least two parts.

Abstract: A device for the storage of a yarn of limited length spun on a spinning machine, comprising a suction pipe and a yarn storage chamber. The suction pipe is connected to a negative-pressure line and serves to seize the yarn by means of suction air. The yarn storage chamber is located between the negative pressure line and the suction pipe. The yarn can be aspirated into the yarn storage chamber and can be drawn off once more in the direction opposite to the direction of aspiration. The yarn storage chamber is located in a body which is rotatably mounted.In the process for the storing of the yarn, the yarn is seized by the stream of suction air and is sucked through the suction pipe into the yarn storage chamber. The yarn is accumulated against the screen surface of the yarn storage chamber until the stream of suction air in the suction pipe is weakened to a point where additional aspiration of more yarn is prevented.
