  • a closure member 28 is hingedly attached to the housing 22 by brackets 29 and hinge pin and contains a fiber feedduct 30 and, on the axis of the spinning rotor, a yarn delivery tube 31, through which spun yarn 56 is withdrawn form the rotor by apair of delivery rollers 32 and 33.
  • Suction is applied to the interior of the housing 22 through an opening 35 from an external source (not shown).
  • the drawing shows the housings 5 and 22 in their normal working positions, that is to say, at their uppermost positions, and they are held in these positions by supplying air to a pneumatic cylinder 39 positioned beneath the housing 22.
  • a simple pneumatic circuit for the operation of this cylinder is shown in FIG. 3.
  • a main pressurized air line 40 which serves all the spinningunits of the machine, is tapped by an air line 41 and a valve 42 is employed for controlling the supply of air to the cylinder 39.
  • pressurized air enters through inlet port 43 and passes out through an outlet port 44 into air line 45 to move cylinder 39 to its uppermost position.
  • a sliver or roving 57 from a supply, not shown, is fed between the nip provided by the fluted feed roller 6 and the co-operating feed pedal 13 to be delivered to the opening roller 16 for opening and combing thereby.
  • the fibers are taken round on the periphery of the opening roller 16 until discharged into fiber delivery duct 47 formed in the housing 5.
  • the fibers are transported in an airstream derived from suction developed in opening 35 and pass in discrete form down fiber feed duct 35 and pass in discrete form down fiber feed duct 30 to be deposited as a ring of fibers on fiber collecting surface 48 of the spinning rotor 23, from which they are withdrawn as the spun yarn 56 through yarn delivery tube 31 by the delivery rollers 32 and 33, and the yarn is then wound on a package in a conventional manner.
  • the valve 42 is moved to the position B as shown in broken line, thus allowing air to be exhausted from the cylinder 39 through air line 45 and out through exhaust port 46 in the valve body.
  • the housings 5 and 22 are thus lowered together on pillars 3 and 4 until the upper housing 5 comes up against stops 49 fixedly mounted on the pillars 3 and 4 and there comes to rest.
  • the chain wheel 11 is taken out of engagement with'driven chain 10 and the clutch 12 is disengaged, thereby disengaging the drive to the feed roller 6.
  • the drive to the opening -out of contact with belt 20. Braking of the opening roller 16 is effected by pulley 21 coming into contact with brake shoes 50.
  • the lower housing 22 continues to move downwardly and the drive to the rotor 23 is disengaged by its driving pulley 27 being taken out of contact with the driving belt 26.
  • Braking of the rotor 23 is effected by brake shoes 51 which are fixedly mounted on the machine frame and with which the pulley 27 engages upon the lowering of the housing 22.
  • brake shoes 51 which are fixedly mounted on the machine frame and with which the pulley 27 engages upon the lowering of the housing 22.
