Abstract

A fiber opening, fiber feeding and yarn withdrawing unit for a spinning station of an open end rotor spinning machine, in which a projection of the fiber feed conduit extends into the rotor behind the fiber slide wall at a close spacing thereto and to an extent greater than the diametrical extent of the open end of the rotor. The components of the unit are mounted on a unit housing that pivots about an axis transverse to the axis of rotation of the rotor and spaced from the plane of the collection groove of the rotor to the side opposite the rotor open end and also spaced from a plane generally perpendicular to and at the rotor open end of the portion of the fiber slide wall adjacent the fiber feed conduit end, for pivoting of the projection into and out of the rotor without interference therewith. The fiber feed conduit opening in the projection wall is enlarged from the interior of the conduit in the direction of rotation of the rotor and the spacing between the projection and the fiber slide wall of the rotor increases along the enlarged conduit opening.
