One end of the housing for a spinning turbine is closed by a cover adjacent to the spinning cup mouth, which cover is connected with sliver-supply and yarn drawoff apparatus. The other housing end portion encircles a sleeve having bearings for the spinning cup shaft. Such shaft may be connected to drive means such as a belt or a commutatorless direct current motor, which drive means can be quickly disconnected. The sleeve-encircling housing portion includes quickly-releasable means for releasing the bearing sleeve for removal either alone or with attached drive means, and for replacement by a substitute bearing unit. The housing may have a longitudinal slit through a portion of its wall and cooperating lugs on each side of the slit for receiving nut and bolt means to clamp the split housing around the bearing sleeve. Alternatively, a set screw extends through the housing wall and bears on the sleeve to prevent sleeve movement. The sleeve may have a flange adjacent to the open housing end engageable by a pair of swingable leaf spring clips pivoted on the housing to draw the flange toward the housing. A split ring bushing may be interposed between the sleeve and the housing, and may include a collar for mounting the electronic control box for a motor.

Housing construction for open end spinning machines

Free flight magnetizable selector elements are transferable from a selector element store disc to a selector element support disc for selecting particular ones of a series of textile processing implements in response to a program. The discs are disposed with an arcuate portion of one disc closely adjacent to an arcuate portion of the other disc, and the selector elements are transferred from store disc sockets to support disc sockets and vice versa by a transfer magnet. The discs include magnets with opposite polarity to maintain transferred selector elements in the sockets of the selected disc until the transfer magnet effects another transfer. The sockets of the store means and support means have the same pitch as the textile implements; however, the sockets of the entire support means may be distributed among a set of identical superjacent discs each having a socket pitch an integer multiple of the textile processing implement pitch. The store means has a corresponding set of superjacent discs. The cooperating store means and support means disc pairs may be disposed in a common plane or in intersecting planes.
