TEXTILE SPINNING MACHINES

摘要

An open-end textile spinning machine comprising a spinning rotor formed with an interior fiber collecting surface to which discrete textile fibers are fed by a fiber feed means. The fibers in the fiber collecting surface are twisted into an end of a yarn which is withdrawn and taken up on a wind-up device. The forwardly facing open-end of the rotor is closed by a closure member which cooperates with a fiber inlet duct for feeding discrete fibers from the fiber feed means to the fiber collecting surface. The fiber feed means includes an opening roller which is mounted at the side of the rotor for opening fibers taken from a supply and feeding them to the fiber inlet duct which forms part of a straight passage connected between the periphery of the opening roller and the vicinity of the fiber collecting surface, the length of the passage lying in a plane which intersects the axis of the opening roller at right angles.
