Abstract: A pneumatically energized loading mechanism for a drafting device is proposed for loading the upper rolls of the device. This mechanism possesses pneumatic cylinders which subject the upper rolls to a force, which acts from a holder plate (4) for the securement of the cylinder (2). The support is effected by a stop plate (200), which acts in unison with holder plate (4). The cylinder (2) possesses a guide surface (201) positioning the cylinder on the support (4). The cylinder (2) exhibits a piston with a circular cross-section and is comprised of plastic. The cylinder (2) is affixed to the holder (4) by a securement means (20). By the support of the cylinder (2) on the holder (4), the securement means (20) need accept no force engendered by the piston. The cylinder (2) simultaneously forms a passage for a current bus which serves as the power cutoff of the drafting device when fiber windup difficulties arise.

Abstract: In regard an apparatus for the manufacture or finishing treatment of a fiber band (31), such as, for instance, a drawing frame or a carding process, the fiber band (31) is conducted between two feeler rolls (6, 6'). The feeler rolls (6, 6') are adjustable in a radial direction to achieve a set distance of separation for the measurement of the fiber band thickness. At least one of the feeler rolls (6, 6') is driven by a shaft. The shaft is composed of a drive shaft (15) and a feeler roll axle (16). The feeler roll axle (16) is connected to the drive shaft (15) by means of a shaft misalignment tolerant coupling (1).

Abstract: A guide apparatus (1) for the fiber band of a textile machine which processes fibers, is situated between a pair of delivery rolls and a pair of calender rolls. The guide apparatus (1) exhibits a nozzle assembly (2, 3) with respective guide passage axes (6, 15) which form a guide path, and which nozzle sections (2, 3) are pivotally connected at their facing contacting surfaces (9, 11). The guide passage axes (6, 15) of the nozzle sections (2, 3) are angularly offset to one another, whereby at least one nozzle section (2) is pivotable from a start-up position into an operating position about a designed pivoting axis at right angles to the guide passage axes (6, 15). In the connective position, the contacting surfaces of the nozzle sections (2, 3) lie form fit and sealingly tight against one another, and in the operational position the nozzle sections (2, 3) form at least an aperture (S), preferably in the area of the contact surfaces (9, 11).

Abstract: The invention concerns a cleaning lip for a rotating roll of a textile machine in a rolling mill (1) for processing fibrous materials wherein the cleaning lip (9) is comprised of a combined carrying device and a lip, the length (1) of the lip (11, 23) being limited by a wiping edge (AK, AK.sub.1), and the lip is composed of plastic. On the lip (11, 23) and in proximity to the carrying device, a groove (12, 24) is placed which runs parallel to said wiping edge (AK, AK.sub.1) of the lip. Alternatively, the cleaning lip can be installed for the clearing of wrapping, in that, upon the roll (14) reversing its direction from an original direction, then the wiping edge (AK, AK.sub.1) of the lip (11, 23) swings itself out of its original roll surface contact position. Upon a subsequent change of roll rotation back to the original direction, the wiping edge (AK, AK.sub.1) also swings itself back to its original wiping contact position.

Abstract: A spinning machine for the doubling or stretching of fiber bands with a rolling section having lower rolls which are secured in journal blocks, and wherein the upper rolls may be also secured on said journal blocks with pressure means for the loading of said upper rolls, it is proposed that the pivoting axis of the pressure arm for the placement of the pressure means to the upper rolls be arranged in such a way that, when observed in the running direction of the fiber band, said axis lies behind the rolling section. Advantageously, what is achieved thereby, is that the spinning machine can be maintained in a considerably simpler and quicker manner. Following the upward pivoting of the pressure arm, the entire area of the rolling section becomes freely accessible. The pivoting geometry of the pressure arm can be so varied, that the upper rolls can be easily restored into the guides on the journal blocks of the lower rolls.

Abstract: A fleece funnel is provided for use in textile drafting equipment to receive a fiber fleece conveyed by a pair of delivery rollers. The fleece funnel includes a long side disposed adjacent to the delivery rollers. A funnel area is defined in the long side for receiving the fiber fleece. The funnel area defines a planar guiding surface in a planar substantially concave impact surface. A funnel opening is defined in the impact surface and a funnel channel is in communication with the funnel opening. A ramp surface is defined on the long side outside of the funnel area. The ramp surface meets the impact surface and defines a common contour line with the impact surface so that air forced out of the fiber fleece balloon formed as the fiber fleece is conveyed into the funnel opening is drawn away from the funnel area towards the ramp surface unimpeded by planar components of the fleece funnel.
