Opening roller for open end spinning machines.

摘要

An opening roller for an open end spinning machine which may be formed in one or two parts, the opening roller having a central body or hub (1) preferably provided with a central cylindrical aperture (10) therein for mounting on a drive shaft of an open end spinning machine, there being an outer ring (2) having a cylindrical external surface (7), the ring (2) supporting suitable combing elements in the form of spaced pins (14) or card wire and wherein the ring (2) is spaced from and connected to the central body (1) by means of septal walls (3) which may either extend radially or be inclined to respective radial planes passing through them, and wherein the spaces between the septal walls may be filled with a suitable plastics medium (11) which may surround the pin tails (18) if these project from the rear face (19) of the ring (2). The roller may be machined from a one-piece extrusion (Figure 2) or after suitable machining may be assembled from two parts which may themselves be extruded.
