Abstract
A method of forming a thread joint in an open-end spinning machine having a sliver drawing-in device for drawing in a sliver and feeding it to a fiber loosening device from which it is guided by a fiber guiding device to a fiber accumulator at which the fibers are accumulated, disentangled, imparted with a rotary motion, and thereafter engaged with an open end of a thread, and a take-up device for drawing the thread out of the fiber accumulator includes for the purpose of joining a joint, bringing a thread end which is fed back into the fiber accumulator into contact with a quantity of fibers to be joined which have been previously fed into the fiber accumulator, continuously withdrawing the thread out of the fiber accumulator and continuously feeding fibers into the accumulator, continuously measuring the quality of the joints and automatically controlling, in accordance with the quality, the quantity of fibers being joined.
