Top roller carrying and weighting arm for a drafting arrangement

Abstract

The present invention relates to a top roller carrying and weighting arm for a drafting arrangement of a spinning machine, comprising a U-shaped carrier (1) which is open at the bottom, in which at least one slide (2, 20, 30) is arranged, which comprises a weighting element (5) and a holder (3) for receiving a top roller and an adjusting and fixing device (4), by means of which the slide (2, 20, 30) can be displaced relative to the carrier (1) in the longitudinal direction and can be fixed on the upper side (9) of the carrier (1), wherein, for the non-rotatable fixing of the slide (2, 20, 30) with respect to its vertical axis, in the fixed state, inside the Ushaped carrier (1), the slide (2, 20, 30) rests with at least one of its side faces (8, 9, 21) on at least one inner side face (7) of the carrier (1).
