Open-end spinning machine

An open-end spinning machine having a plurality of yarn processing units along the lengthwise direction thereof, said machine comprising:

• means for positively feeding spun yarns from spinning units, said feeding means being disposed so as to correspond to said yarn processing units, respectively;
• means for traversing said fed spun yarns in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of said spun yarns, said traversing means being disposed so as to correspond to said yarn processing units, respectively;
• winding drums for frictionally rotating bobbins having conical surfaces for winding said traversed yarns to form conical cheeses, said winding drums being disposed so as to correspond to said compensating means disposed adjacent each spun yarn path between said feeding means and said winding drums, respectively, for varying the path lengths of said yarns to compensate for yarn path length variations caused by the traverse motion of said spun yarns and by the conical angle of said conical cheeses during winding on said bobbins;
• means for adjusting each of said compensating means in accordance with said conical angle of said conical cheeses, said adjusting means engaging all of said compensating means and extending along the lengthwise direction of said machine;
• and,
• means for actuating said adjusting means, said actuating means being disposed at an end of said machine, whereby all of said compensating means of said machine are simultaneously adjusted in accordance with said conical angle of said conical cheeses by means of a one-step process of said actuating means via said adjusting means.
