Abstract

The present invention provides a manipulator on a sliver can transport carriage which can travel along the spinning positions of a spinning machine to enable the manipulator to take up a leading end of sliver at a defined position on a sliver container and guide the sliver end to a sliver supply location of a spinning position. The manipulator comprises a suction jet on its free end for receiving and holding the leading end of the sliver, an actuation member for engaging and opening the sliver supply location, and a compressed air supply line for blowing the sliver end into the open sliver supply location
