Abstract

The textile fiber sliver is deposited in cans in the form of cycloid-type loops. During deposition, the sliver is delivered via a rotating funnel gear wheel into a rotating can. In addition, the mutual distance between the axes of rotation of the gear wheel and can is varied by laterally displacing the can. Also, the rotational speed of the can is varied during operation so that when the distance between the axes of rotation of the wheel and can is at a minimum, the can rotates at a maximum speed. Likewise, when the distance between the axes of rotation is at a maximum, the can rotates at a minimum rotational speed.
