Method for open-end spinning, in an apparatus having a stationary fiber-collecting groove formed therein with two ends and a bottom, which comprises continuously carrying and transporting fibers into the stationary fiber-collecting groove with an air-stream, continuously venting the bottom of the groove, withdrawing the fibers from one end of the groove, and continuously uniting the fibers to form a thread.
Open-end spinning device, comprising a body having a stationary elongated fiber-collecting groove formed therein from which fibers are withdrawn to form a thread in a given fiber travel direction, defining ends of said groove and a bottom of said groove having at least one vented perforation formed therein, a fiber-guide canal upstream of said groove in said given fiber travel direction for discharging fibers in front of said fiber-collecting groove, a fiber opener device connected to and downstream of said fiber-guide canal, and a thread-withdrawing device downstream of one of said ends of said fiber-collecting groove.
