Abstract
A yarn winding apparatus is disclosed which includes means for facilitating the doffing of relatively large, heavy packages. The apparatus includes a U-shaped package holder having a pair of parallel arms, and a pair of mounting discs are mounted adjacent the free ends of the arms for mounting a bobbin tube therebetween. A package guide member is also mounted to the arms of the holder, with the guide member including a pair of tracks which are adapted to be positioned so as to underlie the ends of the bobbin tube and extend slightly downwardly toward the front of the machine. Control means are also provided for axially separating the mounting discs, to release the ends of the bobbin tube, and so that a full package may be released from the package holder. The package is then adapted to fall onto the tracks of the guide member, and roll forwardly along the tracks to a readily accessible position adjacent the front of the machine.
