Control mechanism for a fiber feed device on an open end spinning mechanism

摘要

A control mechanism for use on an open-end spinning machine provided with a sensor which senses tension in yarn being produced and a switching mechanism for interrupting a fiber feed device responsive to the sensor sensing a drop in yarn tension. The switching mechanism includes a switch-on member 3 and a main switch member 4 that is switched on upon actuation of the switch-on member for putting the sensor 10 and fiber feed device out of service. A switch-off member 5 is provided for switching off the main switch member 4 for putting the sensor and the fiber feed device 60 back into service.
