Abstract
A drafting system for a spinning machine, which drafting system has a drafting system unit, and to such a drafting system unit, having at least one weighting arm, which can be pivoted between an operating position and an open position by a repositioning device. In order to provide a drafting system and a drafting system unit for a drafting system for a spinning machine, the drafting system unit having a particularly simple design and permitting user-friendly operation, it is provided that the at least one weighting arm is connected to a retaining rod for conjoint rotation, which retaining rod is mounted on a retaining rod holder for rotation about the longitudinal axis of the retaining rod by the repositioning device.
Claims9
A drafting system unit for a spinning machine, comprising at least two weighting arms, which are pivotable between an operating position and an open position by a repositioning device,
- characterized in that:
- the at least two weighting arms are each connected to a single common retaining rod for conjoint rotation of the at least two weighting arms together with the single common retaining rod, which single common retaining rod is mounted on a retaining rod holder for common rotation together with the at least two weighting arms about the longitudinal axis of the retaining rod by the repositioning device, characterized in that the repositioning device has a knee lever assembly, which is operatively connected to the retaining rod and which is repositionable between a closing position associated with the operating position and an opening position associated with the open position, characterized in that the knee lever assembly has a first knee lever and a second knee lever,
- the first knee lever being pivotable about a first joint axis, which is stationary relative to the retaining rod,
- the first knee lever and the second knee lever being articulated to each other by a knee lever joint axis, and
- the second knee lever having a knee lever portion spaced apart from the knee lever joint axis, which knee lever portion is connected to the retaining rod so as to transmit a rotational motion.
