A device for feeding a conical tube to a bobbin support arm and positioning it thereon, consisting of a rotatable extendable arm having an articulated wrist provided with three fingers which grip the picked-up tube, the axes of rotation of the arm and wrist being both parallel to the axis of the bobbin drive cylinder.

The invention concerns a spinning machine having a spindle with which to rotate a yarn package, a winding apparatus to wind the yarn on the package, and drafting rolls to feed the yarn to the winding apparatus. According to the disclosed method, the winding down of the yarn on the package is achieved by reversing the rotation of the spindle relative to the spinning direction. according to the disclosed device, a spacer ring is employed which is fixed to the spindle, and which has an upper and a lower hollow, a protruding edge, and substantially sharp edges which aid in cutting the yarn.

Method to wind down a yarn package and device to perform the method

Device (10) to doff yarn packages on ring spinning machines (12) which is able to doff the yarn packages (15) automatically and to replace them with empty tubes (16), and which comprises a movable gripper (17), a station (20) to engage tubes and means (31) to remove yarn packages, the gripper (17) comprising an element (25) to engage yarn packages and an element (26) to engage tubes and being able to rotate about a horizontal shaft (24) so as to bring one or the other engagement element (25-26) to cooperate with the spindle shaft (23) momentarily, the gripper (17) being able to move vertically and normally staying in a position (17B) where it does not interfere with the zone of the spindle (13).

A process for replacing spent roving packages with new roving packages, with automatic splicing and reattachment of the rovings, on machines to spin carded wool is disclosed. The new roving package is removed from a conveyor and brought to a waiting position, where the end of the new roving is manually placed in a gripper. When the old roving package is almost exhausted, the spindle of the spinning machine is stopped and the roving is sheared. The end of the roving still attached to the spinning machine is retained with an aspirator. The new roving package is then brought to the working position, causing the automatic discharge of the spent roving package, and the gripper brings the new roving to the aspiration site causing the intermingling of the fibers of the two rovings. The spindles are restarted and the spliced segments of the roving receives a false twist and subsequent real twists. The process may be carried out with a device which can remove the new package from the conveyor and bring it to the waiting position and the working position, which also has a gripper to bring the new roving the aspirator site.
