Abstract

The invention relates to a cooling assembly for a fiber spinning machine, which forms a cooling zone for the fibers and has openings, through which a cooling fluid flows to the fibers. The cooling assembly is formed by a plurality of overlying annular elements. Arranged between the elements are spacers so as to permit air to flow between the elements into the cooling assembly.
