Abstract
An arrangement for supplying bobbins to at least one tender which is situated at one of two loading stations that are disposed at opposite sides of an elongated textile machine from one another comprises a feeding chute which extends from a transfer location at a downward inclination to a distribution location, at which a diverting device is arranged and is operated to selectively divert the bobbins arriving at the distribution location into one or the other of two paths which lead from the distribution location to respective loading stations, depending on the presence of the tender to be loaded with the bobbins at the respective loading station. One of the two paths is advantageously formed by a continuation of the chute, while the other path commences at an opening of the bottom wall of the chute at the distribution location, which is closed by a movable wall in one of its positions, while the movable wall uncovers the opening in its other position and simultaneously blocks the entry of the bobbins into the continuation of the chute. The bobbins are supplied to the transfer location from a bulk container for the bobbins by an elevator in such orientation that the longitudinal axes of the bobbins extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine.
