Abstract

A reserve-surface cleaning apparatus is used in combination with a ring-spinning machine having a longitudinally extending row of spindles each adapted to hold a roving sleeve and each formed below the respective sleeve with a respective reserve winding area and a longitudinally extending frame extending along a back side of the row and a service area extending along a front side of the row. The cleaning system has a guide rail extending on the frame longitudinally along the back side of the row of spindles, a cleaner carriage displaceable longitudinally along the rail past the spindles, and a drive for displacing the cleaner carriage longitudinally along the rail past the spindles. A set of tools on the cleaner carriage strips roving from the reserve surfaces as the cleaner carriage passes same. A vacuum carriage displaceable longitudinally along the frame has an attachment with an end projecting from the front side back toward the stations level with the reserve surfaces for aspirating roving stripped therefrom by the tools and a drive engaged between the vacuum carriage and the frame displaces the vacuum carriage longitudinally along the frame and thereby sequentially positions …
