SPINDLE-DRIVING AND SUPPORT MECHANISM

摘要

An improved spindle-driving and support mechanism particularly intended for driving a false twist spindle for false-twisting textile machinery comprising a pair of closely adjacent coplanar wheels, of which one at least is driven, a spindle having its axis parallel with the rotational axes of the wheels and means maintaining the spindle in rolling contact with each of said wheels by subjecting the spindle to a magnetic attractive force in a plane which is parallel with the wheel axis and inclined at an acute angle to a median plane between the wheels and containing the spindle axis.
