Abstract
A fiber sliver is drafted to a yarn count in a drafting mechanism and is fed to a false twist unit with a sliver width B1 of 10 to 19 mm. In accordance with the method, by means of the width B1, the fiber sliver leaving the delivery roller pair is divided into a yarn core rotated by the false twist member with a spinning triangle of the width B2 and into edge fibers delivered thereto. The edge fibers are taken up by the rotating yarn core in the suction passage of the false twist unit. The taking-up of the edge fibers occurs in that the front ends of the delivered edge fibers are caught by the rotating yarn core in the region of the narrowest portion of the suction passage and are wound about the yarn core with the same rotational direction as the fiber core but with a substantially larger inclination until the rear end of the edge fibers is wound into the yarn core in the spinning triangle. To maintain the width of the fiber sliver, as delivered by the apron pair and determined by the funnel, until catching of the sliver by the nip line of the delivery roller pair, one of the two aprons is extended into the converging space of the delivery roller pair and both aprons are guided so…
