Abstract
Feeding apparatus is provided for an open-end spinning assembly which includes a feeding table and feed roller facing one another to form a nip which offers sliver to an opening roll disposed downstream thereof. Upstream of the feed roll and feeding table ther is provided a sliver funnel which has an outlet opening facing the feed table and feed roller. In order to accommodate correct laying of the sliver in the sliver funnel so that it is properly disposed with respect to the feeding apparatus, the sliver funnel is disposed and configured so that the outlet opening thereof is visually exposable without opening the housing for the feed roll and feed table. According to preferred embodiments, the sliver funnel is mounted for movement between an in-use position and a servicing position, with the outlet opening being visible when in the servicing position so as to accommodate laying in of the sliver.
