Abstract: A dental device having at least one pneumatically operable handpiece, the rotational speed of which can be influenced by a control element designed as a foot-operated switch, and a further handpiece, which can be driven by means of an electric drive, and the compressed air present at the pneumatic handpiece influences the control of the electric drive. A graduated filter is mounted on a pneumatically actuated hollow body and the graduated filter has regions thereon which can be sensed by a light barrier generating an electric signal in dependence on the properties of the regions.

Abstract: A roller for the treatment of fiber masses for the textile industry has a sawtooth wire received in a rectangular cross section helical groove of a steel roll body and indented by a peening or indenting roller to provide, by plastic deformation of the foot portion, the outward forces which clamp the foot portion of the wire against the ribs flanking the groove of the roller body. As a consequence, the roller body as a whole is not deformed.

Abstract: An open-end spinning apparatus with a spinning rotor having an interior wall, a yarn takeoff channel opening and a fiber feed channel opening communicating with the interior of the spinning rotor. A suction opening (5, 50, 51) is connected to a source of reduced pressure and has its open end directed to the interior wall of the spinning rotor. The suction opening is positioned so that a suction air stream flowing therethrough is separated by a screen from the yarn takeoff channel opening and the fiber feed channel opening.

Abstract: A device for guiding yarn as it is wound on a package from a source at a constant speed. The yarn passes over a yarn guide member which is supported on a holder. The holder is resiliently supported transversely to the direction of the yarn travel through the guide member for compensating for changes of the yarn tension during winding of the yarn onto the package.
