Claims13
A bearing-supported spinning ring construction including a spinning traveler or a spinning loop, and comprising a ring rail rotatably supporting said spinning ring by means of a slider bearing, said slider bearing being equipped at its bearing surfaces with a plurality of flat grooves for the exclusively automatic production of an aerodynamic or hydrodynamic pressure taking up axial and radial forces resulting from relative motion between said spinning ring and said ring rail.
A spinning ring support construction comprising a slider bearing holding said spinning ring base in a rotatable position, said slider bearing including a bearing member having a U-shaped cross-section with the legs thereof forming first and second bearing disks, a spacer separating said bearing disks, and a sheet metal ring holding said two bearing disks and spacer together, said first and second bearing disks including a plurality of spiral grooves in the bearing surfaces thereof for the automatic production of a friction reducing dynamic medium pressure taking up axial and radial forces resulting from relative motion between said spinning ring and said ring rail.
