An apparatus for manipulating the drafting roller carrier of a textile machine includes a handle for selectively maintaining the drafting roller carrier in an operative position in which the upper drafting rollers on the carrier are in nip engagement with the lower drafting rollers. The apparatus additionally includes an assembly for interconnecting the handle and the carrier for selected coordinated movement of the carrier and the handle upon manipulation of the handle between a handle operating position and a raised position. An operating stop device and a raised position stop device each include a concave surface and the handle includes a nesting member compatibly configured with the concave surfces to nest therein to prevent movement of the carrier from its respective operating or raised position. The nesting member is movably received in the slot of a slot device pivotally connected to the frame for constraining the nesting member to move along a predetermined travel path during manipulation of the handle between its operating and raised positions.
