Abstract: A spinning machine is provided. The spinning machine includes a drafting arrangement for drafting a fibre structure. The spinning machine also includes a spinning device for spinning the fibre structure, the spinning device is located downstream from the drafting arrangement. Also, a condensing device is located between the drafting arrangement and the spinning device. The condensing device has a stationary suction element in fluid communication with a condensing element. The condensing device and the suction element are configured to allow for the removal of air from the condensing element. The suction element has a housing and an insert. The insert is displaceable with respect to the housing along a guide. The insert is arrestable with respect to the housing.

Abstract: A marrow nail for the distal region of a radius bone. The marrow nail has a radius of curvature R between 100 and 1000 mm in order that it can be introduced adjacently to the distal articular surfaces of the radius bone, and an inclined transverse bore which crosses the marrow nail at a distance of less than 30 mm ahead of its end in order also to grasp bone fragments of fractures which extend transversely through the distal bearing surface. The end of the marrow nail is formed as a securing head for an aiming device for transverse bores.

Abstract: In a spinning machine with a drafting arrangement (1), a condensing device (3) and a spinning device (5) for a fiber structure (71) each, with several such devices being disposed adjacent to one another in a spinning machine, and with a condensing element (31) with the condensing device (3), with a stationary suction element (37) being assigned to the condensing element (31) for discharging the air entering the suction element (37) through the condensing element (31), the suction element consists of a housing (37.1) and an insert (37.2), with the latter being displaceable with respect to the housing (37.1) along a guide means (44a, 44c, 44b) and being arrestable with respect to the housing (37.1).

Abstract: The conveying system uses a movable trolley containing vertically spaced support surfaces, each of which has parallel tracks for receiving peg trays. The trolley is movable onto a transferring conveyor, for example, at the end of a ring spinning machine. The transfer station has conveyors for conveying rows of peg trays onto and from the trolley.
