SPINNING BOX DISPOSED ON SPINNING STATION OF OPEN-END SPINNING MACHINE

摘要

So that stray fibers do not become attached to the rotor during a yam piecing process in the spinning box of a rotor spinning machine, the rotor may be cleaned by an air flow generated by drawing air into the rotor by the prevailing spinning vacuum or by blowing compressed air into the rotor through a closable opening in the rotor chamber. To avoid the danger that soiling of the closure of the opening will permit aspiration of secondary air and impair control of the air supply, the closure is formed as a slide member with a leading edge configured for cleaning the opening during closing movement.
