  • Patent number: 8966873
    Abstract: A yarn-producing apparatus for an air spinning machine, which is used for producing a yarn from a fiber strand with the assistance of an air flow, has a spinning tip with an inlet opening surrounded by the outer surface of the spinning tip, in the area of which a yarn is able to be produced with the assistance of the air flow. The yarn-producing apparatus has an internal inset with a draw-off conduit adjacent to the inlet opening for the yarn and several air outlets branching off on the side from the draw-off conduit, such that an air flow introduced counter to the direction of spinning (S) in the draw-off conduit can escape in part through the air outlets and in part through the inlet opening. In addition, a spinning unit with a corresponding yarn-producing apparatus is provided.

  • Publication number: 20140283496
    Abstract: The invention relates to a spinning point (1) of a spinning machine, whereas the spinning point (1) includes a spinning unit (5), a drawing-off device (6) for the yarn (2) downstream of the spinning unit (5) in the direction of transport (T) and a yarn accumulator (7) downstream of the drawing-off device (6) for the intermediate accumulation of a section of yarn, whereas the yarn accumulator (7) is allocated a sensor system (8) for monitoring the filling level of the yarn accumulator (7), whereas the spinning point includes a spooling device (9) for the yarn (2) downstream of the yarn accumulator (7), along with a return unit (10), with the assistance of which an end of the yarn (11), which is found within the yarn accumulator (7) after a yarn break, is able to be returned in the area of the spinning point (1).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a yarn-producing apparatus (1) for an air spinning machine, which is used for producing a yarn (2) from a fiber strand (3) with the assistance of an air flow, whereas the yarn-producing apparatus (1) has a spinning tip (4) with an inlet opening (6) surrounded by the outer surface (5) of the spinning tip (4), in the area of which a yarn (2) is able to be produced with the assistance of the air flow. In accordance with the invention, it is suggested that the yarn-producing apparatus (1) have an internal inset (7) with a draw-off conduit (8) adjacent to the inlet opening (6) for the yarn (2) and several air outlets (9) branching off on the side from the draw-off conduit (8), such that an air flow introduced counter to the direction of spinning (S) in the draw-off conduit (8) can escape in part through the air outlets (9) and in part through the inlet opening (6). In addition, a spinning unit with a corresponding yarn-producing apparatus (1) is suggested.

  • Patent number: 5702785
    Abstract: According to the invention, an elastic sealing foil for an inside door panel of a motor vehicle door is formed to provide a receiving device which can be changed from a manufactured position into an installed position. In the manufactured position, the receiving device is composed of two formed-out portions which are arranged above one another, have a cross-section with an approximately U-shaped profile and extend in the opposite directions. These formed-out portions are connected to one another by way of a common wall section. In the installed position, the receiving device projects through an opening of the inside door panel, and downward into the hollow space of the door body, and envelopes an audio or accessory part inserted into the receiving device, providing a water-tight seal with respect to the hollow space of the door body.
