Abstract
An open-end spinning device with a fiber feeding channel which extends from a housing with a rotating opening roller to a spinning element. The fiber feeding channel comprises two channel sections which can be moved towards each other and can be brought into alignment with each other. The first channel section is located in an insert of the housing and is capable of axial movement in the housing. The insert is urged by an elastic element in the direction of the second channel section and is covered by a screen on its end towards the interior of the housing, at least on the downstream side (with reference to the rotational direction of the opening roller). A seal is located between the insert and the housing.
Claims13
An open-end spinning device having a spinning element disposed within a spinning housing and a rotatable fiber opening roller disposed within an opening roller housing, connected by a fiber feeding channel, said fiber feeding channel comprising:
- a) a first feeding channel section disposed within said opening roller housing for receiving opened fiber from said opening roller;
- b) a cover for closing said spinning housing;
- c) a second feeding channel section disposed within said cover for receiving fiber from said first feeding channel section when said cover is closed;
- d) said first feeding channel section being defined by an insert;
- e) means for supporting said insert for movement along its longitudinal axis;
- f) mating interfacing surfaces surrounding adjacent ends of said first and second feeding channel sections for abutting contact with each other when said cover is closed;
- and
- g) resilient means for urging said insert supported for movement into abutting contact with the other section when said cover is closed.
An open-end spinning device having a spinning element disposed within a spinning housing and a rotatable fiber opening roller disposed within an opening roller housing, connected by a fiber feeding channel, said fiber feeding channel comprising:
- a) an axially movable insert disposed within said opening roller housing having a first channel section disposed therein to receive fiber from said opening roller;
- b) a cover for closing said spinning housing have a second channel section disposed therein for receiving fiber from said first channel section and for directing said fiber to said spinning element when said cover is closed with said first and second channel sections in abutting contact;
- c) mating interface surfaces on said first and second channel sections where said channel sections abut;
- and
- d) resilient means for urging said first channel section towards said second channel section along its longitudinal axis.
