  • Patent number: 10752463
    Abstract: A traversing element is provided for a spinning machine that produces a roving. The traversing element includes a guide segment disposed to guide the roving onto a surface of a tube or a roving bobbin, and a support segment. The guide segment is configured at an end of the support segment and an opposite end of the support segment is connectable to a support of the spinning machine. A closed cavity is provided in the traversing element, the closed cavity partially filled with a liquid. Heat that occurs in the guide segment due to friction between the guide segment and the roving when the traversing element is operating is absorbed by the liquid.

  • Patent number: 10563326
    Abstract: A textile machine and associate method are provided for producing a roving, wherein a consolidating means produces a roving having a protective twist from a fiber bundle. A winding device is arranged downstream of the consolidating means in a transport direction of the roving and winds the roving onto a tube driven by a tube drive. An arrangement is disposed to bring the roving leaving the consolidating means during a roving production start procedure into contact with the tube. The arrangement includes a movably mounted suction unit with a suction opening that is configured to suck up the roving during ongoing roving production. Means are provided to bring the roving running between the consolidating means and the suction opening into contact with the tube during ongoing roving production.

  • Patent number: 10533267
    Abstract: A method for operating a textile machine is provided to produce roving from a fiber bundle with a consolidating means, the roving having a protective twist. The produced roving is wound onto a tube with a winding device. During the winding process, the roving is guided a guide element arranged between the consolidating means and the tube, wherein the guide element exerts a decelerating effect on the roving. The decelerating effect is controlled during operation of the textile machine such that the decelerating effect is lower during a start procedure while the roving leaving the consolidating means is brought into contact with a tube or during a tube change while a wound tube is replaced by an empty tube than during a winding process that takes place between the start procedure and the tube change.

  • Patent number: 10472740
    Abstract: A method and associated textile machine are provided to produce a roving having a protective twist from a fiber bundle fed to a consolidating means. The produced roving is wound with a winding device onto a tube arranged at a winding position. After the wound tube has been fully or partially wound with the roving, a tube change is initiated. During the tube change, the wound tube is removed from the winding position and an empty tube is moved into the winding position. During the tube change, the roving is wound onto the wound tube at least until the roving comes into contact with the empty tube as a result of the tube change such that the production of the roving is not interrupted during the tube change. During the tube change, the roving is wound onto the wound tube in a region that lies outside a region last wound prior to the tube change.

  • Publication number: 20190144236
    Abstract: A sleeve for winding a roving thereon includes an elongated sleeve body with opposite upper and lower end faces. A contact region is defined on the sleeve body to contact the roving and includes a paper layer. A capture structure is defined within the contact region and is configured to grip an end of the roving wound onto the sleeve body. The paper layer includes a surface structure of one or more of: a mechanically processed surface roughness section in the contact region; an additive in the contact region that increases surface roughness of the contact region; or a surface structure comprising overlapping individual paper layers forming the contact region.

  • Publication number: 20170096316
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a traversing element (1) for a spinning machine (26), wherein the traversing element (1) comprises a guide segment (2) by means of which a roving (3) may be guided in the region of a surface of a tube (4) or of a roving bobbin (5), and wherein the traversing element (1) comprises a support segment (6) via which it may be connected to a support member (7) of the spinning machine (26). According to the invention it is suggested that the traversing element (1) comprises at least one cavity (8) that is closed with respect to the outside and is partially filled with a liquid (9), wherein heat that occurs in the region of the guide segment (2) due to friction between the guide segment (2) and the roving (3) guided by the guide segment (2) when the traversing element (1) is operating may be absorbed by the liquid (9). In addition, a spinning machine (26) having a corresponding traversing element (2) is proposed.
