Insulating air-conditioning and soundproofing apparatus for textile machines

An apparatus for a textile machine placed in a room of a mill and having a horizontally elongated frame supporting longitudinal rows of yarn-working devices, said apparatus comprising:

• a horizontally elongated, tubular insulation cover fixed to the frame and enclosing in its interior the rows of yarn-working devices, said tubular insulation cover being provided with hatches for inspecting the yarn-working devices and at least an inner part of said tubular insulation cover being provided with soundproofing and thermally insulating material;
• means for conditioning atmospheric air, said conditioning means being situated at one end of the textile machine and also being in communication with one longitudinal end of the tubular insulation cover, said conditioning means further taking air from the room in which the textile machine is placed and, after having filtered the air and having brought said air to predetermined values of selected temperature and relative humidity, feeding conditioned air into the tubular insulation cover;
• and
• manifold means, situated at an opposite longitudinal end of the one end occupied by said conditioning means, for discharging said conditioned air from the tubular insulation cover to an exterior outside of the room in which the textile machine is placed.
