Abstract
In the transport apparatus for roving bobbins in a plant including a group of spinning machines according to our invention each spinning machine has a closed circulating belt on which suspended carriages equipped either with full or empty roving bobbins are movable. A transport belt is provided which runs through a loading station which replaces empty roving bobbins with full roving bobbins. Each of the circulating belts is connected with the transport belt by one connecting belt for removing one of the suspended carriages with empty roving bobbins and another connecting belt for feeding in another suspended carriage with full roving bobbins. A switch controllable depending on the filling state of the approaching roving bobbin carriage is positioned at each branch of the connecting belts with the transport belt or one of the circulating belts. The roving bobbins are mounted on the transport and circulating belts so as to be movable independently of each other. Drive motion devices are provided which keep the suspended carriages in constant circulation on the transport belt and the circulating belts.
