Abstract
A spinning machine is disclosed which includes a sliver feeding device for introducing sliver into a spinning unit from a sliver container. To accommodate picking out the starting portion of a new sliver from a container and for connecting it with an end portion of the old sliver entering the spinning unit, apparatus is provided for picking up the new sliver and supporting the same in such a manner that the old sliver and the new sliver overlap one another in the area of the sliver supporting device adjacent the inlet area of the feeding device of the spinning unit.
Claims28
A spinning machine having a plurality of adjacently arranged spinning units, each containing a sliver feeding means for the withdrawal of a sliver from a container and for the introduction of the sliver into the respective spinning unit, and having means for picking up the starting portion of a new sliver of a readies container and for connecting it with the end portion of the old sliver entering into the spinning unit, wherein each spinning unit, in the inlet area, is equipped with sliver supporting means for supporting the entering sliver, and wherein the means for picking up the starting portion of the new sliver is applied to the sliver supporting means in such a manner that the old sliver and the new sliver overlap one another and are clamped at their overlapped portion between the sliver supporting means at the spinning unit and a clamping means of the means for picking up the starter portion of the sliver.
A spinning machine comprising a plurality of adjacently arranged spinning units, each spinning unit including sliver feeding means for withdrawing sliver from a container and feeding the sliver into the respective spinning unit, each spinning unit being provided with sliver supporting surface means for supporting the sliver being fed thereto, and a mobile servicing apparatus which is movably selectively disposable adjacent respective ones of the spinning units to perform servicing operations, said mobile servicing apparatus including sliver splicing means for splicing a starting portion of new sliver from a container with an end portion of old sliver being fed to a respective spinning units wherein said sliver splicing means includes sliver clamp means for clamping overlapping portions of the new and old sliver between said sliver clamp means and the sliver supporting surface means at a respective spinning unit.
