Definitions

• the invention relates to a textile machine which has a closing section which covers and can open operating elements.
• Such textile machines are known. They are used to process fiber material.
• Such textile machines comprise an operating section with operating elements, for example intended to process the fiber material.
• Openable arches as the closing section are provided to cover the operating section to the outside, for example to minimize the risk of injury.
• Such closing sections are freely rotatably supported at one end and can be swung open accordingly. This is usually done in such a way that the closing section is either swung open beyond an upper dead center position, so that the closing section does not automatically push into the closing direction due to its weight.
• This has the disadvantage that the closing section has to be pivoted back over this top dead center position, which is energy-intensive.
• this closing section is prevented from closing by an element such as a gas pressure spring.
• This has the disadvantage that the closing section could twist, since it is usually made of light and inexpensive sheet material.
• the object of the invention is to counter the aforementioned disadvantages.
• a textile machine which has an operating section.
• the operating section is designed to receive or hold operating elements of the textile machine which are used, for example, for processing fiber material.
• the textile machine further comprises a fastening section and a closing section. In a closed position, the closing section covers the operating elements with respect to the other textile machine and is attached at one end to the fastening section so as to be freely pivotable about an axis of rotation away from the closed position into an open position and back.
• the textile machine also includes gas pressure springs. The gas pressure springs are articulated at one end to a stationary part of the textile machine and at the other end to the closing section.
• the gas pressure springs are, seen in a plane of rotation transverse to the axis of rotation of the closing section, symmetrical with respect to the closing section and further arranged such that they limit pivoting of the closing section in such a way that a center of gravity of the closing section, viewed in the opening direction of the closing section , at least outside the opening position of the closing section in front of the axis of rotation of the closing section. It can be provided that the center of gravity of the closing section also lies in its opening position itself in front of the axis of rotation of the closing section. That is, the top dead center position is not reached, so that the closing section is not able to generate any further torque in the opening direction. This reduces the force to close the closing section, which can be supported by the gas pressure spring.
• the center of gravity in the opening position of the closing section lies in the gravitational direction on a line with the axis of rotation of the closing section, so that in this position the top dead center position is reached but not exceeded. That is, here too, the closing section cannot generate any torque in the opening direction.
• the symmetrical arrangement of the gas pressure springs has the advantage that a closing section formed from a sheet metal part can be opened and closed almost without torsion, from one side to which the gas pressure springs have different distances. This side usually points in a direction that runs parallel to the axis of rotation of the closing section.
• the textile machine is preferably designed as a draw frame (regulated, uncontrolled, integrated, with one or more drafting devices), comber or tape winder, all of which are known to have at least one drafting device.
• There are numerous closing sections for example for covering elements of a drafting system drive, such as deflection rollers and drive belts looped around them, or of drafting system rollers of an associated drafting system.
• the closing section is preferably designed as a drafting hood, so that the aforementioned operating elements accordingly comprise drafting rollers. This hood is very large, relatively heavy and prone to twisting. This improves the handling of such a textile machine.
• the fastening section preferably has at least one sheet metal element. This leads to a relatively low overall weight.
• at least one of the gas pressure springs in the open position of the closing section can be aligned with its line of action, viewed from one end to the other end, at a right or acute angle to the direction of gravity. The effect of this is that a large Greater force is required than is caused by the center of gravity of the closing section itself.
• at least one gas pressure spring is articulated with its other end in such a way that the associated articulation point on the closing section, as seen in the opening direction of the closing section, is behind the axis of rotation of the closing section.
• the closing section generates a closing torque, but this is partially converted into a torque on this gas pressure spring in the closing direction and thus against the action of the gas pressure spring. This reduces the actual force against the action of this gas pressure spring. This means that smaller and consequently cheaper gas pressure springs can be used.
• the force effect of the closing section due to the position of its center of gravity in its plane of rotation in the closing direction of the closing section, corresponds to the line of action of the at least one gas pressure spring. A better support effect of the closing movement of the closing section can thereby be achieved.
• the articulation point of the other end of at least one gas pressure spring in the opening and / or closing position of the closing section can be arranged in front of the axis of rotation of the closing section. If the floor on which the textile machine is installed is horizontal, ie perpendicular to the gravitational effect, the articulation point of the other end of the gas pressure spring is at a greater distance from the floor than the axis of rotation or the articulation point of the closing section on the fastening section. This also causes the aforementioned generation of a torque in the gas pressure spring, combined with the advantages already stated.
• At least one gas pressure spring can be arranged in each of the aforementioned textile machines, in the closed position of the closing section or to have a pressing effect in the opening position of the closing section.
• the gas pressure spring assists in opening the closing section, in the second case in closing.

• the gate 2 is constructed in a known manner and will not be described further.
• the line 100 has, inter alia, a can depositing device 110 on the output side.
• the can depositing device 110 comprises a can rail 111 for the full cans and a preferably driven can track 112 which moves empty cans into the actual can changer.
• the can changer has, for example, a can slide 113.
• a can cover plate (not designated) in which the turntable of the can depositing device 110 is accommodated in a freely rotatable manner.
• the can cover plate is attached to the other line 100 and is supported at the right end by means of a support (also not shown) on a floor (not shown), preferably adjustable in height.
• An operating platform 102 is located to the side of the line 100.
• An operating terminal 101 is located here at one end of the operating platform 102.
• a drafting hood 120 can be seen, which covers a stretching section 103 in a known manner.
• FIG. 2 shows the route 100 within the framework of the drafting hood 120 and a frame 130.
• the drafting hood 120 is attached to the frame 130 as a base, which essentially has two sheet metal parts 131 with intermediate elements arranged between them, not shown here.
• the drafting system hood 120 has a handle 121 on the front long side and a lighting section 122 on an upper side, which serves, for example, to display operating states.

• FIG. 4 shows the route 100 in a view analogous to FIG. 2 in a state in which the drafting hood 120 is open, that is to say in the (maximum) opening position. Since the gas pressure springs 10 are fully extended in the open position of the drafting hood 120, the drafting hood 120 cannot be swung open any further. Furthermore, the almost horizontal alignment of the gas pressure springs 10 (ie perpendicular to the direction of gravity) means that the drafting system hood 120 with its center of gravity can still be on the left side of the bearing elements 4, but the force of the gas pressure springs 10, 10 is sufficient to prevent the drafting hood 120 from closing.
• the drafting hood 120 preferably has sheet metal parts 124 which are articulated on the respective sheet metal part 131.
• the drafting system hood 120 can thus be considerably wider than the distance between the mutually facing outer sides of the sheet metal parts 131, 131 from one another.

• the gas pressure spring 10 Since the gas pressure spring 10, as stated above, hardly rotates in the area of the associated articulation point 132, it can be provided that a projection 13 formed at the lower end 11 of the gas pressure spring 10 is inserted frictionally into the articulation point 132 of the sheet metal part 131 formed by means of a through opening. Since the drafting hood 120 rotates much more strongly with respect to the gas pressure springs 10 when pivoted at the articulation point 123 (formed by means of a through opening), a bearing element 6 is provided between a projection 14 provided at the other end 12 of the gas pressure spring 10 and the articulation point 123 .
