A bottom tenser utilized for a drafting means of a spinning frame, especially for fasciated yarn spinning, in which a fiber bundle is attenuated at a high speed exceeding 100 m/min. The bottom tenser as well as a bottom roller corresponding to the tenser is provided with a free end through which an apron is easily removable from and mountable on the tenser and the roller. The tenser may be constituted by a body and at least a guide wall movable relative to the body. The guide wall prevents lateral movement of the apron in its operative position and, in turn, is displaced or removed from the body in its non-operative position so as not to obstruct an apron exchanging operation.

Easily displaceable bottom tenser

A textile fiber drafting apparatus is disclosed, according to which the drafting bottom rollers in each line along the spinning units of a spinning frame are arranged in such a way that each two adjacently juxtaposed bottom rollers make a single block for each two spinning units, so that each bottom roller has an open, free end through which an apron may be replaced with a new one or fibers entangled on the roller may be removed with extreme ease. Between each such two spinning units is provided an arrangement for driving the bottom rollers thus disposed, including driving and driven mechanisms.

Drafting apparatus in a spinning frame

A false-twist nozzle with an improved structure is provided herein. The false-twist nozzle according to the invention comprises a housing having a large-diameter yarn passage portion and an insert member having a small-diameter yarn passage portion and a fluid conduit hole. When the insert member is within the housing, a complete yarn passage hole is formed through the nozzle. Because the insert member is separable from the housing, drilling of the very small diameter fluid conduit hole can be made easily and accurately prior to insertion within the housing. Furthermore, the fluid conduit opening is disposed both annularly and angularly in the downstream direction with respect to the yarn passage hole, thereby increasing the twisting action induced by the flow of jetted fluid while preventing damage to the yarn.
