EMPTY BOBBIN SUPPLY DEVICES FOR A BOBBIN CHANGER FOR SPINDLE TYPE SPINNING MACHINES

摘要

An endless conveyor is arranged along each spindle bank and bears gripping hooks spaced regularly at intervals corresponding to those between the spindles. Each of the hooks can cooperate with a take-up head provided at the upper end of each bobbin. A loading station is arranged to present the take-up head of an empty bobbin to each gripping hook passing it. The empty bobbins are stacked horizontally in a reserve with the take-up heads randomly directed. A distributing device brings the empty bobbins successively from the reserve to a tilting station where the bobbins are represented horizontally. The tilting station has at its two ends, two steps arranged to retain temporarily one empty bobbin by its take-up head, so that all the bobbins leave with their take-up heads upwards. A conveyor belt carries the vertical bobbins towards the loading station of the endless conveyor.
