Textile yarn processing machine having soundproofing paneling elements

In a textile yarn processing machine, particularly a yarn twisting machine, having a longitudinally extending frame, a plurality of spindle assembly working positions in side-by-side relationship along the length of said machine, at least one movable maintenance unit suspended from said machine frame and movable in the longitudinal direction of said machine along the outside of said spindle assembly positions;

• the combination therewith of:
• a plurality of soundproofing paneling elements forming a part of a soundproofing cover shielding said machine and each having dimensions for extending generally the height of said machine and a sufficient portion of the length of said machine so as to collectively cover all of said spindle assembly positions;
• and
• means for movably suspending said paneling elements from said machine frame for movement in the longitudinal direction of said machine outside of said movable maintenance unit to permit movement of said maintenance unit within said paneling elements and for movement along said suspending means into consecutive partially overlapping positions to cover all of said spindle assembly positions and into other positions for allowing selective uncovering of particular spindle assembly positions whereby said maintenance unit can perform maintenance functions when all of said spindle assembly positions are covered and so that selected spindle assembly positions can be serviced when uncovered.
