(54)	Continuous spinning system for connecting a plurality of carding machines with a drawing frame

(57) A continuous spinning system for connecting a plurality of carding machines (1) with a drawing frame (2) by means of two can-transporting roller conveyors (61, 62) arranged along a row of the carding machines (1) to the drawing frame (2) and a can-feed conveyor (31) arranged upstream of the drawing frame (2) and connected with each of the can transporting roller conveyors (61, 62) in such a manner that a one directional circulating path is formed between the carding machines (1) and the drawing frame (2). A full can (11 b) delivered from the respective carding machine (1) is transferred onto the roller coveyor (61) and further to a roller conveyor (62) and finally to a supply position for the drawing frame (2) via the can-feed conveyor (31). An empty can (11 a) discharged from the drawing frame (2) is transferred onto the roller conveyor (61) and returned to the respective carding machine (1). A front end of a sliver in the full can newly deposited on the supply position is picked up from the can (11b) and fed to a drafting zone of the drawing frame (2) when one of supply cans (11 c) in the supply position is exhausted.
