Abstract
A sliver coiler includes a rotary head assembly, a sliver trumpet eccentrically mounted in the rotary head assembly and a sliver guide element situated generally centrally above the rotary head assembly at a distance therefrom, whereby the sliver has an unsupported running portion from the sliver guide element to the sliver trumpet. The angle formed between the plane of rotation of the rotary head assembly and a line connecting the sliver guide element with the sliver trumpet is 30.degree. at the most.
Claims12
In a sliver coiler including a unidirectionally rotating rotary head assembly having a radius and a generally horizontal plane of rotation;
- a sliver trumpet eccentrically mounted in the rotary head assembly and a sliver supporting means including a fixedly held, immovable sliver guide element situated centrally above said rotary head assembly at a distance therefrom;
- the sliver having an unsupported running portion extending through a free space linearly from said sliver guide element to said sliver trumpet;
- the improvement wherein the angle formed between said plane of rotation and a line connecting said sliver guide element with said sliver trumpet is 30.degree. at the most, permitting high running speeds of the sliver.
