METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE RELAXATION OF ROVINGS ON ROVING FRAMES

摘要

A roving frame in which tension is reduced in the unwound length of roving (50,52) remaining between the drafting mechanism (10) and the package (32) after the frame has been brought to a halt. This can be done by additional feed from the drafting mechanism after stopping of the other elments of the frame. The degree of feed may be different depending upon whether the stoppage is due to a break at one of a group of flyers, or to a doffing operation.
