Abstract

A device and process for piecing yarn on an open-end spinning device where a yarn is fed back either from the winding bobbin on which it had been wound previously, during the spinning process, or from a special piecing bobbin via a common back-feeding path to the spinning device. The piecing yarn, drawn off from the piecing bobbin, as well as the yarn drawn off from the winding bobbin is first subjected to the effect of a controllable draw-off action at the beginning of this common back-feeding path upon completion of the piecing process. The yarn, which continues to be delivered by the spinning device, is subjected to the effect of normal spinning draw-off only upon reaching the full draw-off speed and is transferred to an empty tube located in the winding device, whereby the excess yarn segment with the piecing joint is severed and removed when replacing the winding bobbin. A feeding device with a pair of auxiliary rollers is provided to feed the piecing yarn to a back-feeding device, whereby a roller of the pair of auxiliary rollers can be assigned to the bobbin lifted off from the winding roller as a drive roller and can be driven by means of a controllable drive.
