Technical Field

The invention relates to a method for introducing false twists into a yarn, wherein a yarn running plane is formed by the running direction of the yarn, which is largely straight in plan view, through a drawing device to a spinning device and the yarn leaves the drawing device at an output nip formed by an upper and/or lower roller, wherein the yarn is run between the output nip and the spinning position by a roller rotating about a rotational axis inclined to the yarn running plane, wherein the yarn simultaneously rotates about its longitudinal axis and a first false twist is added to the yarn. The invention also relates to a spinning machine and a device for carrying out said method.

Background

Known false twisting mechanisms for adding false twist to a yarn are based on the use of a rotating false twisting element to deflect the yarn from an initially drafted position. A twist is applied to the yarn, which creates a false twist in the yarn. False twisting is limited in time and space in the yarn. The false twist is produced between two fixed clamping points, for example between the pair of output rollers of the drafting device and the rotating rollers of the false twist mechanism, above the false twist introduction point. The actual twist present between the two clamping points is increased or decreased in the direction of rotation of the false twist (Z twist or S twist). The spinning process becomes more stable by false twisting because yarn breakage can be reduced.

Such a false twisting mechanism is known from US 2718111A. The friction disc is in contact with the yarn between the output roller of the drafting device and the ring spinning mechanism. The axis of rotation of the friction disc is arranged obliquely to the yarn path. This produces a force which acts tangentially on the thread and rotates it about its longitudinal axis. Thereby, false twisting is generated between the output roller and the yarn guide. The yarn essentially continues to travel in the yarn travel plane. The force of the friction disc rotating only causes a small deflection of the thread, which, when deactivated, moves the thread back into its running plane when the friction disc is not rotating. The friction disc does not continuously deflect the yarn out of its yarn running plane. The false twist added is also small.

A similar false twisting mechanism for ring spinning machines is also known from DE 161971C. Also disclosed are different friction disks which come into contact with the yarn and which impart a false twist between the two clamping points. However, the spinning stability is not significantly improved when using different types of friction discs.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the invention is to provide a method and a device which allow the spinning quality of a spinning machine to be significantly improved without the yarn quality being impaired.

The object is achieved by a method for introducing a false twist into a yarn and a spinning machine and a device for introducing a false twist into a yarn according to the independent claims.

The method according to the invention is used to introduce false twisting into the yarn and thus to improve the spinning quality. According to the invention, the yarn runs through a rotating drum, in particular through a rotating cylinder, cone or paraboloid, hereinafter collectively referred to as drum, which serves as a twisting element. By means of the obliquely arranged rollers, the yarn is simultaneously rotated about its longitudinal axis. In this way, false twisting can be added to the yarn in accordance with the design of the device, in particular with regard to the arrangement of the rollers relative to the yarn. The method is suitable for introducing false twists into the yarn, which improve the strength of the yarn during spinning and thus also prevent yarn breakage.

Corresponding devices can also be used to stabilize the yarn if false twisting occurs in the yarn during operation by the rotating rollers. The false twist to be incorporated into the yarn is produced by the oblique running of the yarn by the rollers, in which forces occur in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the yarn and a false twist is produced in the yarn.

Without a deflection of the yarn, the yarn runs from the drafting device to the spinning device via a yarn running plane which is formed by the course of the yarn, which runs largely directly in plan view, through the drafting device to the spinning device. The yarn leaves the drafting device at an output clamping position formed by an upper roller and/or a lower roller, wherein the yarn runs between the output clamping position and the spinning position through a rotating shaft which is inclined to the yarn running plane. The yarn is simultaneously rotated about its longitudinal axis and a first false twist is added to the yarn. According to the invention, the yarn is moved laterally out of the yarn running plane by means of a roller table and is thereby brought into contact with the upper or lower roller after the delivery nip in such a way that the upper or lower roller imparts a second false twist to the yarn. The yarn and the roller and the yarn and the upper or lower roller are thus crossed with each other, so that the yarn abuts against the outer side of the roller or the outer side of the upper or lower roller during the deflection. False twisting is added to the yarn not only on the rollers but also on the upper or lower rollers. By means of the two positions of the false twist addition to the yarn, the spinning quality can be significantly improved without the quality of the produced yarn being impaired by the addition of a too high continuous twist.

Preferably the first false twist is opposite or opposite to the second false twist. Thus, depending on the yarn offset, the upper or lower roller which adds the second false twist to the yarn can not only promote the false twist of the roller but also reduce the false twist of the roller when the yarn reverses direction to the false twist.

In order to be able to absorb the axial forces acting on the roller with particularly low friction, it is advantageous if the roller is supported with particularly passive, magnetic axial bearings. The magnetic axial bearing is less serviceable and is particularly suitable for axial forces occurring with different strengths. The driving or braking forces acting radially on the rollers can thus be applied very specifically to the rollers, without said axial forces having a severe influence on the drive of the rollers. In principle, active magnetic axial bearings can also be considered, although the technical outlay is usually too great.

The drum can be set in a rotating motion by the yarn path itself. However, in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the rollers are driven by motors. The rotational speed of the rollers can thereby be either dependent on the feed speed of the yarn or else be increased or reduced in order to influence the stability of the yarn or to be able to introduce false twisting into the yarn if necessary.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a sensor is used to detect the rotational speed of the roller and to generate an electrical signal as a result. Such a rotational speed of the drums can be used, for example, as a feature indicating that the textile machine is working defectively or that the yarn is defective.

If, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the yarn is raised or lowered in addition to a lateral offset relative to its travel without rollers, the handling of the spinning place by the operator or also by the robot can be simplified. Furthermore, a collision of the robot with the yarn can be avoided in particular if the yarn is pressed into the spinning machine by means of rollers, i.e. lowered.

The yarn is preferably guided laterally on the side edges of the drum. Therefore, it can be reliably avoided that the yarn slips off the drum during spinning or causes a malfunction in the spinning process.

It is particularly advantageous if the side edges of the yarn passing through the rollers achieve a third false twist and optionally a fourth false twist. That is, if the yarn is guided around the drum in such a way that it not only comes into contact with the circumference of the drum and obtains its false twist through the circumference of the drum, but also comes into contact with one or both side edges of the drum, a further twist is added to the yarn through the side edges, respectively. This additional twist can be either in the direction of the true twist or the false twist of the yarn.

The spinning machine according to the invention has a drafting device, a spinning mechanism and a false twist mechanism for introducing a false twist into the yarn. The yarn running plane is formed by the course of the yarn, which runs largely directly in plan view through the drafting device to the spinning device. The drafting device has an output clamping position with an upper roller and/or a lower roller, at which the yarn leaves the drafting device. Between the output nip and the spinning device, a roller is arranged, which has a rotational axis oriented obliquely to the yarn running plane, wherein the running yarn rotates about its longitudinal axis while passing through the roller and a first false twist is obtained there. The drum is in particular a cylinder, cone or paraboloid and has an outer side against which the running thread abuts. According to the invention, the rollers are arranged in such a way that the yarn is deflected laterally by the rollers out of the yarn running plane and the yarn is brought into contact with the upper or lower roller after the delivery nip in such a way that it imparts a second false twist to the yarn. The device is particularly intended for carrying out the method described above.

By pulling the thread obliquely out of the delivery nip, the rollers of the delivery nip, either the upper or the lower roller in the arrangement of rollers, are partially wound by the thread. The winding is not performed perpendicular to the rotation axis of the upper or lower roller, so that a tangential force is applied to the yarn. This tangential force causes the yarn to rotate transversely to its longitudinal axis and produces its own twist acting on the yarn. This twist can in turn be in the same direction or in the opposite direction with respect to the first false twist of the roller, depending on the arrangement of the roller with respect to the yarn or the upper or lower roller. Thereby either enlarging or reducing the false twist. This enables individual adjustment of the spinning stability and the quality of the yarn.

The axis of rotation of the rotating drum is preferably arranged at an angle, in particular between 30 ° and 60 °, to the yarn path, when viewed in the yarn path plane, and is inserted into the linear yarn path in such a way that the yarn rotates simultaneously about its longitudinal axis. Thereby applying a force not only to the yarn but also to the drum. By means of this force, the yarn is set in rotation about its longitudinal axis and false twists are produced in the yarn. This contributes to the spinning stability of the yarn.

The axis of rotation of the rotating drum is advantageously arranged at an angle of between 30 ° and 60 ° to the yarn path, when viewed in the yarn path plane. This results in a reliable false twist of the yarn and in a better support of the yarn by the rollers and the introduction of the false twist into the yarn.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the rollers are driven by motors. The motor puts the drum in a rotary motion corresponding to the supply speed of the yarn. Deviations from this yarn supply speed may be advantageous and the force acting on the yarn can be varied accordingly. Thus, a force can be applied to the yarn, which introduces a false twist into the yarn.

If, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a plurality of rotating rollers are arranged along the yarn path, the axes of rotation of the rotating rollers are arranged at different angles to the yarn path, it is possible to introduce false twists with great care and with great strength.

The rollers are preferably arranged on the spinning machine in such a way that the yarn is increased or decreased in addition to the lateral deflection compared to the running of the yarn in the yarn running plane without rollers. The yarn thus runs above or below the normal yarn path as it would without the false twisting mechanism according to the invention. The handling of the spinning position is simplified, in particular when the yarn is stitched, if the yarn path is lifted. If, on the other hand, the yarn path is reduced, i.e. closer to the spinning machine than the normal yarn path, the robot travelling along the spinning machine (patruillieren) passes by the spinning position without the risk of colliding with the yarn.

If in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention the roller has at least one, preferably two, side edges, the yarn can be guided laterally well and very reliably. Thus, if the yarn is guided so that it is in contact with the side edges, additional twist can be added to the yarn. Furthermore, it can be reliably avoided that the yarn slips off the drum and the spinning process must be interrupted or defects in the yarn occur.

In order to ensure reliable guidance of the thread and introduction of false twist into the thread, it is advantageous if the rollers have a length of at least 20mm and a diameter of at least 10 mm.

It is particularly advantageous if at least one thread guiding element is assigned to the roller for preventing the thread from slipping off the roller. In particular in the idle state of the spinning position or when the spinning tension is too low or missing, it can be ensured that the yarn does not fall off the drum. However, the thread guiding element should not come into contact with the yarn during the spinning process in order not to disturb the spinning process. In addition, the thread guide element can also be used advantageously for supporting the thread during the initial spinning when the thread is placed on the drum but no spinning tension is yet established.

The device is arranged on the textile machine at the side of the non-offset yarn path. The device has a support or a device mount with which the device can be fixed on the spinning machine and the roller can advantageously be changed in its inclination relative to the support or to a fixing in the spinning machine or to the yarn path.

The modules are advantageously mounted on the machine frame by means of the shaft of a rotating drum. The module can thus be arranged very easily on the textile machine. It is also possible to add the device according to the invention to existing spinning machines.

Further advantages of the present invention are described in the following examples.

Detailed Description

In the following description of alternative embodiments, the same reference numerals are used for the same and/or at least similar features in terms of their design and/or mode of action compared with the other embodiments. The design and/or the mode of action of the features correspond to those of the features already described above, as long as these features are not explained in detail again. The rollers mentioned can have different outer sides, in particular cylinders, cones or parabolas, even if only cylinders are mentioned in a single case.

Fig. 1 shows a side view of a spinning position 1 of a ring spinning machine. The fiber strand 2 is passed through a drawing frame 3 and drawn there. The fiber strand leaves the drawing frame 3 at a roller pair consisting of an upper roller 4 and a lower roller 5. The upper and lower rollers 4, 5 form an output clamping position 6, in which the fiber assembly 2 is clamped. In the case of so-called compression spinning, a suction tube can also be present instead of the upper roller 4 or the lower roller 5, said suction tube being wound by a mesh belt and generating a negative pressure. The upper or lower roller 4, 5 presses against the small screen belt and clamps the fiber assembly 2 in the corresponding output clamping position 6. From the delivery nip 6, a yarn 7 provided with a twist is formed from the fiber strand 2. The yarn 7 is wound around a roller 7 arranged obliquely to the yarn running path, then passes through a yarn guide 9 and via a guide wheel 10 onto a bobbin 11, onto which bobbin 11 the yarn 7 is wound. Between the thread guide 9 and the guide wheel 10, the thread 7 forms a thread balloon 12. The package 11 rotates about a spindle axis 14 at the speed of the spindle supporting it, while the guide wheel 10 drags the wound yarn 7 along the spinning ring 13 at a slightly lower speed.

Between the delivery nip 6 and the yarn guide 9, the yarn 7 runs by means of a roller 8 which is supported so as to be rotatable about a rotational axis 15, the roller 8 guiding the yarn 7 away from a normal path 16, which is indicated by a dashed line, and lifting it away from this yarn path 16, the roller 8 being arranged in this side view so as to be pivoted relative to the normal yarn path 16 by an angle β of between 30 ° and 60 °, the yarn 7 thereby coming into contact with the roller 8 not at right angles to the rotational axis 15 of the roller 8, so that a tangential force acts on the yarn 7, which causes a twist in the yarn 7, which causes a false twist between the delivery nip 6 and the yarn guide 9.

Fig. 2 shows a front view of a spinning position of a ring spinning machine according to the prior art. In this illustration, a roller 8 can be seen, which is arranged on the spinning place 1 in a manner known from the prior art. The roller is located in the area of the yarn running plane 20. The yarn running plane 20 is defined by the path of the fiber strand 2 through the drafting device 3 and, in the further course of this strand, by the spindle axis 14. As can be seen from this illustration, the yarn 7 remains on its path from the drafting device 3 up to the yarn guide 9 in this yarn running plane 20. Minor deviations from this, which are caused by the thread 7 abutting against the roller 8 or by the rotation of the thread guide 9, are not taken into account here. The yarn running plane 20 thus corresponds substantially to the plane of the drawing of fig. 1.

As is clear from this illustration in fig. 2, the rollers 8 are arranged at an angle α oblique to the yarn running plane 20, the yarn 7 runs obliquely through the rollers 8, as a result of which a tangential force is generated on the yarn 7, which imparts a false twist to the yarn 7.

Fig. 3 shows a representation similar to fig. 2, wherein the inventive arrangement of the roller 8 can be seen here. In the conventional arrangement according to fig. 2, the roller 8 keeps the thread 7 substantially within the thread running plane 20, whereas according to fig. 3 according to the invention the thread is moved out of the thread running plane 20. The yarn thus acquires not only a tangential force when it contacts the drum 8, but also in the area of the upper roll 4. These tangential forces in the area of the upper roller 4 are generated by: the thread 7 is drawn off obliquely from the outlet clamping point 6 and in this case likewise contacts the upper roller 4 on its circumference and acquires a further tangential force here. Thus, not only the twist induced by the roller 8 but also the twist induced by the upper roller 4 is added to the yarn 7. Depending on the arrangement of the rollers 8 and to which side the thread 7 is drawn out of the output clamping station 6, a Z twist or S twist is produced in the thread 7, which promotes the true twist of the thread 7 or is opposite to this true twist. Thus, a higher false twist can be produced or a lower false twist of the drum can be produced.

In the illustration according to fig. 3, the roller 8 is arranged to the right of the yarn running plane 20 and, in accordance therewith, deflects the yarn 7 to the right, whereas in the illustration according to fig. 4, the roller 8 is arranged to the left of the yarn guiding plane 20 and, in accordance therewith, deflects the yarn 7 to the left. Furthermore, the drum according to fig. 4 is also arranged at an angle to the yarn running plane 20 or twisted in comparison with the embodiment according to fig. 3. The twist introduction of the roller 8 according to fig. 3 is thus opposite to the twist introduction into the thread 7 according to fig. 4. The same applies to the twist introduction on the upper roller 4 after the output of the clamping position 6. After the thread 7 has been drawn off in the other direction, the tangential force of the upper roller 4 also acts in the opposite direction to the embodiment of fig. 3, so that here too an opposite twist is introduced into the thread 7.

While in the preceding exemplary embodiments the roller 8 lifts the thread 7 out of the normal thread path 16, in the exemplary embodiments of fig. 5 and 6 the roller 8 presses the thread 7 into the spinning position 1. The yarn 7 thus runs under the normal yarn running trajectory 16. This can be advantageous, for example, if the robot is cruising along the yarn machine and rollers arranged above the normal yarn path 16 obstruct the path of the robot. In the embodiment of fig. 5 and 6, the first twist is again produced by a roller 8, which causes a tangential force on the yarn 7. The second twist acting on the thread 7 is in this case caused by the lower roller 5, which is likewise obliquely contacted by the thread 7 and thus causes a tangential force acting on the thread 7. The reason for this is that the rollers 8, just as in fig. 3 and 4, move the thread 7 laterally out of the thread running plane 20 and thus bring about the result that the thread 7 is drawn obliquely out of the delivery nip 6 and through the circumferential surface of the lower roller 5. Just as in fig. 3 and 4, the inclination of the rollers 8 is reversed in fig. 5 and 6. Thereby, the direction of the added false twist can be influenced. Furthermore, as in fig. 3 and 4, it is possible for the thread 7 to run not only to the left but also to the right of the thread running plane 20.

The forces acting on the yarn 7 and the roller 8 are shown in figure 7. The roller 8 rotates in this embodiment due to the yarn 7 being drawn through it. The yarn 7 is deflected from the roller 8. The yarn tension F is divided into components F in the axial direction_AAnd a component F in the radial direction_R. By radial force component F_RTo drive the roller 8. Due to axial component F_AThe yarn 7 moves along the lateral surface of the roller 8. Component F of said axial direction_ACan be divided into components F oriented in the direction of the yarn path_LAnd a component F perpendicular to the yarn axis_T-WIRK. Component F perpendicular to the path of travel of the yarn_T-WIRKThis corresponds to the force which acts on the outer diameter of the thread 7 and with which a torsional moment for false twisting is added.

The false twist input depends on the diameter of the roller 8, the coefficient of friction of the outer side of the roller 8, the deflection of the yarn 7 and its winding angle around the roller 8, the oblique position of the roller 8 relative to the undeflected yarn 7, the number of rollers 8 used, the ease of handling of the roller 8 or the positive or negative drive torque generated on the roller 8 if the rollers are driven by a motor not shown. The rotational speed of the roller 8 can in this case be detected by a sensor and can thus generate an electrical signal for controlling the motor.

The optimum inclination of the roller 8 for the false twist input is in the range of 30 ° to 60 ° relative to the line of the yarn path 16 of the non-deflected yarn 7 (see fig. 1, 2).

The surface of the roller 8 can consist of ceramic, a steel body with a rough hard coating or else of a material such as rubber or a synthetic material, such as an elastomer, such as nitrile rubber (NBR, cover of the upper roller).

The roller 8 should be lightweight to handle. Suitable bearing means for the roller 8 are small, oil-lubricated rolling bearings, sliding bearings with shafts of less than 4mm or aerostatic air bearings. However, for optimizing the false twist input, it is also possible to use rollers 8 with a defined positive or negative (brake) drive torque.

The false twisting device with the roller 8 is preferably arranged on the structure of the spinning machine by means of a device support 21.

In order to introduce false twisting into the yarn, the yarn 7 is often pulled in the prior art over a separating strip inclined to the path of travel of the yarn. Friction occurs due to the coefficient of friction and the inclined position of the division bar and due to the winding of the yarn 7 around the division bar. The yarn friction to be overcome acts only to a small extent on the yarn 7 as a torsional moment induced in relation to the false twist. The maximum possible introduction of the false twist is limited by the maximum possible yarn tension.

The degree of increase in yarn tension as a result of the physical association described by the Euler-einthelnschen equation can be reduced if the inclined parting strips are replaced by the easily rotatable drum 8. Yarn 7 is drawn onto roller 8. The roller 8 is rotated thereby. The yarn 7 thus slides and/or rolls in the axial direction on the rotating drum 8. Since the friction of the actuating light bearing is much less than that which occurs when the thread 7 is pulled onto the fixed spacers, a much higher torsional moment can be applied to the thread 7 with a reduced thread tension by the rotating inclined rollers 8.

Fig. 7 also shows that a thread guiding element 23 is assigned to the roller 8. The thread guiding element 23 is, for example, a pin, which is arranged laterally to the thread 7 during the spinning process. During spinning at a defined spinning tension, the yarn 7 does not contact the thread guiding element 23. Only when the spinning tension becomes too low to hold the yarn 7 on the inclined roller 8, the yarn 7 slides off the roller 8 in the direction of one or more of the yarn guiding elements 23 and hangs there. This is therefore prevented by the thread guiding element 23, namely: the thread 7 slides off the roller 8 and the spinning process must again be started in a cumbersome manner by placing the thread 7 on the roller 8. The thread guide element 23 facilitates the handling, in particular also when the thread 7 is being spun, when the thread 7 has to be placed on the drum 8 for the first time. The yarn 7 can be placed very easily onto the yarn guiding element 23 and the roller 8 and the spinning process can then be started.

The forces acting on the thread 7 occurring in the region of the lower roller 5 are shown in fig. 8a and 8 b. This behaviour is of course similar to when the yarn 7 is not oriented differently, and is therefore in contact with the upper roller 4. The yarn 7 is pressed onto the lower roller 5 so that the normal force F_NActing on the yarn 7. As can be seen from fig. 8b, the yarn 7 is drawn off obliquely to the axis of the lower roll 5. The yarn 7 is drawn off obliquely from the delivery nip 6. Here, the yarn tension F_LIs divided into an axial force and a radial force F_AAnd F_RAnd a torque F acting tangentially on the yarn 7_T-Wirk. This produces a twist of the thread 7 about its longitudinal axis, which produces a twist in the thread 7.

In fig. 9a to 9e different shapes of the roller 8 are shown, the roller 9 has a length L and a diameter D. the length L should be at least 20mm, and the diameter D should be at least 10mm, where it is important that the yarn can be reliably guided onto the roller 8 when it deviates from the yarn running plane 20.

The roller 8 in fig. 9 has two tapered side edges 22. When guiding the thread 7 accordingly, it is possible for the thread 7 to come into contact with the roller 8 in three different positions. In the case shown here, the yarn 7 acquires a right twist on the left edge 22, while it acquires a left twist on the central part of the roller 8, which is cylindrical in shape, just like on the right edge 22. This enables additional, third and fourth twists to be introduced into the thread 7.

In the embodiment of the roller 8 according to fig. 9b, only one side edge 22 is arranged on the left side of the roller 8. This side edge 22 can act as a protection so that the yarn 7 does not slip off the drum 8 when it turns on said drum.

In fig. 9c, just one side edge 22 is arranged, similar to in fig. 9 b. This side edge 22 is rounded here, so that a smooth transfer of the thread 7 onto the cylindrical portion of the drum 8 is possible.

The embodiment of the roller 8 according to fig. 9d is arranged such that it is concavely arched. The grooves thus produced serve to guide the thread 7 particularly advantageously.

In fig. 9e, the roller 8 is provided with two side edges 22, which are designed in a cylindrical, partially arched configuration towards the center. In particular, when the thread 7 runs in the cylindrical part of the roller 8, which is generally in the middle, this can cause the thread 7 to maintain the same twist.

Of course other shapes of the roller 8 are also suitable for causing a better result of introducing the twist into the yarn 7.

The false twisting mechanism can be used in the area of the spinning process where the yarn has too low a strength and where the strength is increased by the false twist and the spinning process can thus be stabilized. In this case, the rollers 8 must be oriented in such a way that the false twist is in the same direction as the actual twist. Thus, the false twist and the actual twist add up above the false twist mechanism.

In ring spinning, yarn breaks occur mainly in the spinning triangle (spindreieck) at the outlet of the drawing device or shortly after the spinning triangle. Therefore, the false twisting mechanism is arranged below the drafting device when the ring spinning is carried out. The strength of the yarn 7 located above the false twisting mechanism is increased by the additional degree of false twisting in the region at the outlet of the drafting device and thus reduces yarn breaks during spinning.

Fig. 10 shows a roller 8 with a passive axial magnetic bearing 25. The roller is fixed to a rotating shaft 15. The rotary shaft 15 itself is arranged in a rotatable manner in the radial direction in two radial bearings 26. The magnetic bearing means 25 acts as an axial bearing. For this purpose, the rotary shaft 15 is provided with grooves 27 at its end assigned to the magnetic bearing 25. The groove 27 can be filled with plastic. Between the grooves 26 there are spacers 28. Magnets 29 spaced from each other by spacer 30 are opposed to the slots 27. The magnet 29 is fixed in the device holder 21. The magnets 29 provide axial stiffness of the rotating shaft 15 in interaction with the spacer 28. It is advantageous for such a support means to be largely independent of the axial forces acting on the drum 8 by the yarn. The drive of the drum 8 by the thread or by a motor, not shown here, associated with the rotational shaft 15 is therefore not influenced by axial forces which can generate different resistances when driving the drum 8. As a result, the roller 8 can be driven very uniformly and specifically.

The invention is not limited to the embodiments shown and described. Modifications within the scope of the claims are equally possible as are combinations of the features described, even if these features are shown and described in different embodiments.
