Abstract
A feeding and opening device for open-end spinning machines is disclosed with a feeding table cooperating with a feeding roller and containing a fiberbeard support that is opposite the opening roller. The feeding table with fiberbeard support is held so that it can be swivelled from its operating position into a cleaning position. The swivelling can be carried out manually or by means of an adjusting element of an automatic servicing device. By means of the swivelling-away of the feeding table, the support surface of the fiberbeard support is exposed so that it can be cleaned in order to remove sticky components, such as honey dew or similar components.
Claims19
Apparatus for feeding sliver to an opening roller of an open-end spinning machine, comprising:
- a feeding roller and a sliver loading means disposed adjacent one another to form a sliver clamping gap therebetween, said feeding roller and sliver loading means being operable to form a fiberbeard of sliver which is fed to the circumference of the opening roller,
- fiberbeard support means disposed opposite the circumference of the opening roller for supporting the fiberbeard as it is fed from the sliver clamping gap to the opening roller,
- and movable guide support means connected with the fiberbeard support means and being operable to move the fiberbeard support means between an operating position adjacent to the circumference of the opening roller to a cleaning position away from the operating position where the fiberbeard support means is accessible to a cleaning element for cleaning without requiring movement of the opening roller.
