A top apron cradle for an apron drafting system of a textile machine with an apron guide unit for circumferentially guiding a top apron looped around a top roller of the apron drafting system. The apron guide unit has an apron guide section for guiding the top apron, the apron guide section having an entrance section and a deflection section. The apron guide unit has a receptacle, which is assigned to the entrance section, for a replaceable tensioning element which can be brought into pressure contact with an inner side of the top apron, and the tensioning element. For guiding the top apron via the tensioning element and the deflection section, the receptacle and the tensioning element replaceably accommodated in the receptacle are formed at a distance from the area of the apron guide section enclosed by the tensioning element and the deflection section.

The invention relates to a device for positioning at least one roller in a drawing device and/or in a spinning unit, and/or for tensioning at least one belt, in particular a running belt, in a drawing device and/or in a spinning unit, wherein the device comprises: the at least one roller which is rotatably mounted, the at least one belt, in particular a running belt, at least one tension rod, and at least one guide device for contacting the belt at at least one contact point for guiding the belt during operation of the at least one roller.

In order to improve and simplify the process of changing the belt, the at least one guide device is arranged and designed in such a way as to make the lower roller reversibly accessible for removing the belt and/or threading the belt, in particular without changing the relative positions of the roller, tension rod and/or belt to one another.
