Abstract
A transporter has transfer elements for moving an empty cloth beam into a position between a loom and a transporter or into a winding station of the loom. In addition, the transporter carries a curved wedge for engaging against the positioned empty cloth beam so as to hold a length of cloth between the full cloth beam on the transporter and the wedge. A cutting device serves to cut the cloth between the two beams. In one embodiment, the wedge moves about the cloth beam to form and insert a loop of cloth in a pressing zone formed by the cloth beam and the incoming cloth. In a second embodiment, the cloth beam carries resilient elements to form a pressing zone and is rotated relative to a stationary wedge in order to insert a loop of cloth between the resilient elements and the surface of the empty cloth beam.
