Abstract
An apparatus for delivering cops mounted upright on caddies to the winding heads of an automatic bobbin winding machine assures a sufficient supply of cops to all winding heads along the entire winding machine, even in the case of relatively short cop times, by locating infeed positions for the caddies at spacings along a distributing conveyor common to all winding heads such that a first plurality n.sub.1 of operating winding heads are located to a front side of a first infeed position, a second plurality n.sub.2 of operating winding heads are located to the opposite rear side of the last infeed position, and a third plurality k of operating winding heads are located between such infeed positions, with n.sub.1 .gtoreq.4, n.sub.2 .gtoreq.4 and k.ltoreq.n.sub.1 +n.sub.2 +3. The distributing conveyor belt is driven alternatingly in opposite directions to distribute the cop-mounted caddies.
