A disintegrator roll for use in a textile spinning machine, such as an
open-end spinning machine, includes a roll body releasably mounted onto a
drive shaft. A fittings carrier with associated fittings is releasably
mounted on the roll body. A releasable connection apparatus is operably
disposed between either the fittings carrier and the roll body or the roll
body and the drive shaft. The connection apparatus is actuated by an axial
force applied generally parallel to the drive shaft.
