Abstract: A sliver can for accommodating a strand-shaped fiber material includes a can base and a peripheral side wall that delimits an accommodating space for the fiber material, the peripheral side wall at least partially transparent. A display element that transmits a signal indicating one or both of a quantity or a property of the fiber material is located in the sliver can and is configured within the sliver can such that the signal is visible through the peripheral side wall from outside the accommodating space. The invention also encompasses a sliver can base configured with the display element and a spinning mill machine in combination with the sliver can.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sliver can (1) for accommodating a strand-shaped fiber material (2), comprising a peripheral, at least partially transparent side wall (3), via which an accommodating space (4) for the fiber material (2) is delimited, comprising a can base (5), which is preferably vertically movable within the accommodating space (4), and comprising at least one display element (6) for displaying the quantity and/or at least one property of the fiber material (2) located in the sliver can (1). According to the invention, the display element (6) is arranged in such a way that it is visible through the side wall (3) from outside the accommodating space (4).

Abstract: A measuring roller for a device for measuring a fiber composite (2), in particular on a draw frame, a carding engine or a comber, is made of a material of low thermal expansion (3) and has a surface coating (4). The measuring roller (1) features a shell surface (5) for clamping a fiber composite (6) along with a rotary axis (7). The shell surface (5) features a structure forming an air buffer, made of grooves (8), boreholes (9), and/or spherical projections (18).

Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring roller for a device for measuring a fiber composite (2), in particular on a draw frame, a carding engine or a comber, made of a material of low thermal expansion (3) and having a surface coating (4), whereas the measuring roller (1) features a shell surface (5) for damping a fiber composite (6) along with a rotary axis (7). In accordance with the invention, the shell surface (5) of the measuring roller (1) features a structure forming an air buffer, made of grooves (8), boreholes (9) and/or spherical projections (18).

Abstract: A disintegrator roll for use in a textile spinning machine, such as an open-end spinning machine, includes a roll body releasably mounted onto a drive shaft. A fittings carrier with associated fittings is releasably mounted on the roll body. A releasable connection apparatus is operably disposed between either the fittings carrier and the roll body or the roll body and the drive shaft. The connection apparatus is actuated by an axial force applied generally parallel to the drive shaft.

Abstract: Between first, the roll body (10) and the fittings carrier (11) and second, the drive shaft (2) is provided a releasable, particularly a clip or latch type connection apparatus (3). This connection apparatus (3) possesses on one of these two disintegrator roll components (10, 11) a studlike element (30) and on the other of these two disintegrator components (11, 10) a stud acceptor (31) oriented parallel to the disintegrator roll axis. The said stud acceptor possesses a narrowed passage on its end which is proximal to the fittings carrier (11). By means of this narrowed passage, the stud acceptor (31) and/or the studlike element (30) acts elastically in the transverse direction.

Abstract: A paraffin coating device of a textile machine which has a fixed paraffin body to coat a yarn running with paraffin is provided with a compact unit supporting the essential parts of the paraffin treatment apparatus and which can be easily removed from the paraffin treatment apparatus for maintenance purposes in order to facilitate handling and to improve even application of paraffin on the yarn.
