Abstract
A device is provided on a spinning preparation machine for receiving a sliver from a discharge device of the spinning preparation machine and transporting the sliver to a downstream machine, the spinning preparation machine having a depositing region. The device has a support for receiving the sliver deposited from the discharge device in the depositing region, and a moving device for moving the deposited sliver relative to the discharge device in the depositing region for forming a free standing sliver bundle, and for moving the free standing sliver bundle out of the depositing region for transport to a downstream machine.

A device on a spinning preparation machine for receiving a sliver from a discharge device of the spinning preparation machine and transporting the sliver to a downstream machine, the spinning preparation machine having a depositing region, the device comprising:
- a support for receiving the sliver deposited from the discharge device in the depositing region;
- and
- means for moving the deposited sliver relative to the discharge device in the depositing region for forming a free standing sliver bundle, and for moving the free standing sliver bundle out of the depositing region for transport to a downstream machine.
A method of depositing and transporting a sliver bundle, the method comprising:
- discharging a sliver from a discharge device of a spinning preparation machine;
- depositing the discharged sliver on a movable support in a discharge region of the spinning preparation machine;
- moving the support back and forth inside the depositing region relative to the discharge device to create a free standing deposited sliver bundle on the support;
- and
- moving the support with the free-standing sliver bundle to a downstream machine.
