Device for individualizing fibers, and spinning device comprising such a device

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (1) for individualizing fibers of a supplied fiber sliver end and to a spinning device (2) comprising such a device (1). The device (1) comprises a first hollow body section, to which pressure can be applied and which comprises an inlet channel segment (3) for receiving and guiding a supplied fiber sliver end together with a fluid in the direction of an unraveling channel segment (6) arranged downstream thereof, and the unraveling channel segment (6), which communicates with the inlet channel segment (3) and is arranged downstream thereof, for unraveling the fiber sliver end supplied together with the fluid into individual fibers. The unraveling channel segment (6) forms an annular channel (10) which communicates with the inlet channel segment (3). The annular channel (10) has a channel inlet (11) with a first passage width and a channel outlet (12) at a distance therefrom with a second passage width, wherein in a section extending from the first passage width to a central passage width of a channel center arranged between the channel inlet (11) and the channel outlet (12), the passage width of the annular channel (10) tapers constantly or in sections such that the central passage width is smaller than the first passage width.
