Pot spinning assembly with movable pot

A pot spinning assembly, comprising a spinning pot having a lower edge region, an inner wall and a longitudinal central axis, a yarn guide having an outlet opening extending into said spinning pot, means for displacing said spinning pot along said longitudinal central axis between an upper end position and a lower end position for causing a relative motion between said spinning pot and said yarn guide during a spinning process, and means for depositing a yarn in layers and forming a spinning cake on said inner wall of said spinning pot,

• said outlet opening of said yarn guide being located in the vicinity of said lower edge region of said spinning pot when said spinning pot is in said upper end position,
• a yarn holder for receiving yarn from said spinning pot, and a substantially horizontal transport apparatus for moving said yarn holder into a rewinding position at said spinning pot in a substantially horizontal direction, means for rewinding the spinning cake onto said yarn holder in the rewinding position with said spinning pot, and means for moving said yarn holder away from the rewinding position at said spinning pot in a substantially horizontal direction when said spinning pot is in said upper end position.
