Abstract
In a ring-spinning or -twisting machine a longitudinal row of upright and normally rotating spindles mounted on a common support beam each have a lower reserve surface below a sleeve normally carried on the spindle. An apparatus for clearing roving wound on the surface has a guide rail extending longitudinally along a back side of the beam adjacent the spindles, a carriage displaceable along the rail past the spindles, and a drive including a longitudinally extending drive element secured to the carriage for displacing same longitudinally along the rail past the spindles. A roving-cutting element is fixed on the carriage engageable immediately adjacent the spindles between the respective lower reserve surfaces and sleeves and a roving-clearing element is fixed on the carriage below the cutting element and engageable immediately adjacent the lower reserve surfaces of the spindles.
