Abstract
A fiber processing textile machine includes a mechanism for advancing a sliver bundle, formed of a plurality of slivers, in a travel path in a direction of sliver feed; and a sliver guiding body positioned in the travel path and having an axis of rotation and a plurality of sliver guiding surfaces disposed about the axis of rotation. The sliver guiding surfaces are of different arcuate shape as viewed perpendicularly to the direction of sliver feed. Further, a holding mechanism is provided for positioning the sliver guiding body and supporting it for rotation for orienting a selected one of the sliver guiding surfaces toward the sliver bundle, whereby the sliver bundle is contacted and guided by the selected surface.
