A substantially funnel-shaped constricting fiber chute or shaft possesses at its lower portion blade springs forming a diaphragm or the like. These blade springs extend at an acute angle with respect to the lengthwise axis of the fiber chute. At their free ends these blade springs delimit an exit or outlet opening, by means of which the fiber chute opens into a container, such as a bag or sack or the like which is exchangeably secured at such fiber chute. A driveable plunger arranged coaxially with respect to the fiber chute possesses a plunger head which tapers in the outlet direction. The plunger head possesses a toothed or serrated band. Upon penetration of the plunger into the fiber chute or shaft the plunger head compacts fibers which have collected in the fiber chute and expresses such, while further compacting the same, into the sack. The equipment is particularly suitable for use at a fiber separator at which the fibers separated from a transport air current or stream drop into the fiber chute.

Apparatus for the compaction of fibers

A mounting apparatus for a textile machine, especially a card, comprising support means maintaining a spacing between the textile machine and a foundation and a pneumatic cleaning device having blow- and suction openings arranged at least beneath the textile machine, and air channels blow communicating with pressure-and suction connections. The air channels which are constructed with respect to their flow properties or characteristics independent of the support means, are arranged in hollow spaces of the support means.

Mounting apparatus for a textile machine, especially a card

A filter box for textile machines, especially spinning machines, comprising a filter subdividing a box into a raw air chamber and a clean air chamber, and a respective inlet opening and outlet opening communicating or connected with the raw air chamber. A ventilator is connected at its suction side with the clean air chamber. The filter possesses a cylindrical form and the inlet opening is formed by an inlet connection extending approximately tangentially with respect to the filter, in order to produce a spin flow in the raw air chamber.
