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.

A sliver can for accommodating a strand-shaped fiber material, comprising:
- a peripheral side wall that delimits an accommodating space for the fiber material, the peripheral side wall at least partially transparent;
- a can base;
- a display element that transmits a signal indicating one or both of a quantity or a property of the fiber material located in the sliver can;
- and
- the display element configured within the sliver can such that the signal is visible through the peripheral side wall from outside the accommodating space.
A can base configured to guide a strand-shaped fiber material in an accommodating space delimited by a peripheral side wall of a sliver can, the can base comprising an upper surface, a lower surface, and a peripheral wall, the can base further comprising a display element mounted to the lower surface or to the peripheral wall of the can base, the display element transmitting a signal visible from outside of the sliver can through the peripheral side wall of the sliver can when the can base is within the sliver can indicating one or both of a quantity or a propel of the fiber material located in the sliver can.
