The device for separating individual fibers of a fiber sliver comprises sliver feed rollers, sliver opening means comprising a press roller and a separating roller adapted to carry a stack of thin disks provided with combing elements which consist of teeth or wire points for separating the fibers and with drafting elements for parallelizing the fibers, and a duct for the delivery of freed fibers. The separator can be employed for spinning slivers containing either long or short fibers or a mixture of both.

Fiber separator for feeding a freed-fiber spinning unit

A twisting element placed at the outlet of a high-speed rotor of a freed-fiber spinning device is constituted by a portion of turn of helical wire which is jammed against the internal surface of an elbowed tube. The portion of helical turn is located within the elbowed section of the tube and the tube is fixed on the thread delivery orifice of the spinning device.
