Abstract: A support disk for a suspension for a spinning rotor (2) of an open-end spinning device features a base body (8) and a thrust ring (9) with a running surface (10) attached on an outer circumference of the base body (8), whereas the running surface (10) has a crowned outer contour in the axial section. The running surface (10) features at least two partial sections (11), between which at least one groove-shaped recess (12, 14, 16) is formed. A suspension for a spinning rotor (2) of an open-end spinning device contains support disks (3) arranged in pairs forming a wedge slit, whereas the spinning rotor (2) can be mounted with its shaft (1) in the wedge slit, and whereas at least one of the support disks (3) is formed as described above.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing multi-layered confectionery comprising aligning the confectionery on a conveyor system in rows oriented at right angles to the transport direction of movement of the conveyor system; building up the confectionery layer by layer by a first, a second and succeeding applicators for delivering a confectionery mass deposited onto the confectionery the applicators being arranged one behind the other along the transport direction; optically detecting each row of confectionery before the row reaches the second and all succeeding applicators; generating a signal based upon the position of each row relative to the respective applicator; and this signal controlling the spatial position of the applicator and its application time interval in such a way that the delivered mass deposited by the applicator is placed exactly in a predetermined position onto the row of confectionery passing below the applicators.
