Abstract
An improved carrier for textile bobbins of the type having a disk-like base plate and a bobbin mounting pin upstanding therefrom of an outside diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the tube of the bobbin to be supported and transported, wherein the pin is equipped with a frictional non-slip surface. As a result, if pointwise contact with the inside diameter of the tube occurs, e.g., by relative tilting of the tube, friction is brought to bear to counteract shifting of the tube on the pin. The invention is based on the recognition that in every situation in which relative motion between the bobbin and the carrier occurs, the bobbin becomes tilted on the carrier. The non-slip surface of the pin advantageously comprises an elastic surface, e.g., rubber or silicone. According to another aspect of the present invention, the pin diameter can be adapted to various inside diameters.
