Abstract
A system for transferring bobbins between textile machines includes a temporary storage device positionable at a location between two textile machines for temporarily storing bobbins being transported between the machine. A transport rail assembly has either one rail extending between the machines for transport of bobbins either directly between machines or between the rail and the intermediate storage device, or a pair of rails each extending from one of the machines to the storage device. The storage device stores bobbins in a plurality of rows and is mobile for selective movement to other locations. It may have slidable pallet members for supporting bobbins or outwardly projecting support members inclined in the range of horizontal to vertically upward for supporting bobbins inserted thereon. The storage device further includes at least one component shaped compatible with the rail for facilitating transfer of bobbins and the component can be selectively movable vertically with respect to the rail for transfer of bobbins supported on the device in rows. The rail assembly may include at least one branch rail selectively movable with respect to the storage device, which may include a plurality of pairs of rails for suspension of bobbins thereon.
