Abstract
Two juxtaposed drums are arranged to rotate in the same sense and are closely spaced apart to define between them a throat and two gaps tapering towards the throat on opposite sides thereof. The drums are operable to engage flying fibers entering one of the gaps and to twist the fibers together so as to form a twisted yarn. Draw-off rolls are provided for withdrawing the twisted yarn from the throat in the longitudinal directon thereof. A suction duct extends into the other gap and has an inlet slot which extends along the throat.
Claims1
An apparatus for spinning textile fibers, which comprises
- a. two juxtaposed drums having axes extending parallel to each other and arranged to rotate in the same sense,
- 1. the drums being closely spaced apart to define therebetween a throat extending parallel to said axes and two like gaps tapering towards said throat at opposite sides thereof, and
- 2. the drums being operable to engage flying fibers entering one of the gaps at one side of the throat and to twist the fibers together in the throat to form a twisted fiber product,
- b. draw-off means arranged to withdraw the twisted fiber product from the throat in the direction of the throat, and
- c. a suction duct extending into the other gap at the opposite side of the throat and having an inlet slot extending along and facing the throat.
