Abstract
An automatic yarn winding apparatus includes plural aligned winding stations and a delivery conveyor extending along the winding stations for supplying thereto yarn packages comprising yarn tube support members carrying fully wound yarn tubes. The delivery conveyor is driven alternately in opposite directions. Package entrance conveyors supply yarn packages to the delivery conveyor at least two spaced locations therealong. Switchable mechanisms are provided for selectively forming and removing at least one package barrier along the delivery conveyor between the entrance locations for preventing package movement therebeyond. By provision of additional package entrance conveyors and package barrier mechanisms, the delivery conveyor can be effectively divided into multiple transport sections for respectively supplying differing groups of the winding stations with differing respective groups of yarn packages.
