Abstract
A textile machine has a spinning frame whose working elements, such as spindles, for respective whorls tangentially driven by a common belt. In order to allow energy efficient start-up of the individual whorls while the remaining whorls continue to be driven by the belt and without effecting the remaining whorls, the individual working element or spindles and their whorls are provided with a pivot pressing roller carrier whose pressing roller can hold the belt with normal pressing pressure at operating speed, can relieve the pressing pressure for braking of the individual whorl, and can press the belt with increased force against the individual whorl by manual operation of a lever individual to each mechanism for start-up.
