Abstract

An open end yarn spinning apparatus is disclosed which comprises a plurality of side by side spinning positions, and which is characterized by the ready accessibility of the internal components of each spinning position without interference with an adjacent position. The apparatus includes a central frame extending longitudinally along the length of the apparatus, and each spinning position includes a frame subassembly composed of two longitudinally spaced apart and transversely directed plate-like side members, and a plurality of longitudinally extending braces which interconnect the two side members. The bearing assembly for the rotor, and the feed and opening rolls are mounted to the frame subassembly, and the rotor housing is releaseably mounted to the frame subassembly so that removal thereof exposes the internal components.
