<p>This spinning machine weighs about 3 lbs and is of about the size of a standard shoe box. The reel on which the spun yarn is to be stored is contained within a large horizontal tube. The yarn is fed through a hole in the wall of the tube from a groove on the outer surface. The reel is rotated by running on the inner surface of the tube which is driven by, for instance, a sewing machine motor. By control of dimensions or by braking a relative speed is imposed between the reel and the tube and is the speed for reeling yarn. The yarn is fed to the groove from two small tubes, one stationary and the other rotating with the large tube. Both are coaxial with the large tube. Locks or sliver to be spun are presented to a surface with saw-tooth corrugations alternating with slots, or other saw-tooth corrugations, and is fed to the stationary small tube. The machine can be used in small living or working spaces for hobby work or as cottage industry. Compared with the spinning machine of a textile mill, it is cheap and small. Compared with a traditional spinning wheel it is small and light, is easier to use and produces better yarn, and can be cheaper.</p> |
