Abstract
A residual roving clearing apparatus for clearing a residual roving remaining on a roving bobbin. The residual roving clearing apparatus comprises a bobbin holding device for rotatably holding a roving bobbin, a cutting device for cutting layers of coils of residual roving remaining on the roving bobbin held by the bobbin holding device, and a rotary brush device for clearing the residual roving from the roving bobbin. The residual roving clearing apparatus is capable of efficiently clearing the residual roving from the roving bobbin by cutting layers of coils of the residual roving along a cutting line parallel to the axis of the roving bobbin held by the bobbin holding device, and stripping off the cut layers of coils of the residual roving from the roving bobbin by the rotary brush of the rotary brush device.

A residual roving clearing apparatus for clearing a roving remaining on a roving bobbin, comprising:
- a bobbin holding device for rotatably holding a roving bobbin;
- a cutting device for cutting layers of coils of roving remaining on a roving bobbin by setting a blade with its cutting edge in near contact with the circumference of the roving bobbin and moving the blade in parallel to the axis of the roving bobbin;
- and
- a rotary brush device including a rotary brush which is rotated and held in contact with the surface of the layers of coils of rovings on the roving bobbin to clear the layers of coils of roving cut by the cutting device from the roving bobbin.
