Abstract
A process and apparatus for lubricating a ring traveler of ring spinning or ring twisting frame is disclosed in which lubricant is supplied to the ring traveller (18) and to the contact surface between the spinning or twisting ring (12, 16) and the ring traveller (18) from a lubricant store (24), which is disposed on the inside of the spinning or twisting ring (12) and which is provided on its upper side with lubricant outlet openings. The air current which rises during the spinning or twisting serves to convey the lubricant. Such lubrication makes it possible to operate the ring traveller (18) at a greater rotational speed, without increasing its wear. The productivity of the machine is thus increased by this a greater rotational speed.
Claims8
An apparatus for lubricating a ring traveller on a spinning or twisting ring of a ring spinning or ring twisting frame, comprising:
- a store containing a lubricant and at least one lubricant outlet opening connected to said store;
- said at least one lubricant outlet opening being spaced apart from the contact surface between the ring traveller and the spinning or twisting ring in the direction of flow of the air current which occurs during spinning or twisting;
- said spinning or twisting ring upon which said ring traveller is arranged being shaped to provide an underpressure zone facing said lubricant store a distance away therefrom;
- and
- said at least one lubricant outlet being arranged in said underpressure zone.
