Driven spinning ring device for yarn machines

A spinning ring device for a yarn machine comprising a traveler for guiding yarn in a winding operation about a winding axis, an annular support ring for the traveler for guiding it in a circular path around the winding axis under the influence of the yarn, a stationary bearing support accommodating bearings for supporting the ring on the winding axis, an annular ring holder rotatably mounted in said bearing support to enable the ring to rotate in the same direction as the traveler to decrease the relative movement between the ring and the traveler, an internal annular surface in the upper end of the ring holder, an integrally formed flange on the ring telescoping into said internal annular surface at the upper end of the ring holder, a recess formed in the ring holder adjacent the lower outer region of the ring flange, said traveler extending from the outer periphery of the ring across the upper end thereof and then downwardly terminating in a lower hook end which enters the recess, a pair of drive transmitting surfaces on the ring holder, one below the stationary bearing support and the other above the stationary bearing support, a driving belt in engagement with one of said surfaces for driving the ring holder, and a driven belt in engagement with the other of said surfaces for transmitting drive from the ring holder to another ring holder.
