Abstract
A sliver piecing device includes a pair of holding members for piling and holding ends of slivers to be pieced, and a plurality of needles extending through the holding members and being inserted into the slivers to force the fibers into the other sliver and to intertwine the fibers with each other. In a further embodiment of the piecing device, pressurized air may be used, along with the needles, to force the fibers of one sliver into the other and to intertwine the fibers with each other.
