Apparatus for splicing textile threads

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for splicing textile threads by means of compressed air in a mixing chamber, with a device for pretreating the ends of the threads which comprises nozzles controllably feedable with compressed air and arranged at the sides of the body in which the mixing chamber is defined. The jets of air caused to leave the nozzles interfere with the cut ends of the threads laterally leaving the mixing chamber and cause them to be subjected to flapping and to a free whipping for opening and separating the fibres and putting the latter parallel to each other. A whirling motion may be imparted to the jets of air to remove the original twist from the fibres.
