Abstract (en)

[origin: US4625506A] An "open-end" method of spinning using a device comprising a supply device, a disintegrating means, a rotor, an outlet end member, a supply device and a winding device, characterized in that means are provided for giving the "fibre deposition zone" (11) a speed equal to that of the "fibre formation zone" and in that the zones are actuated so that the fibres (10) coming from the disintegrator cannot be deposited on the thread (14) being formed.
