Abstract
A method and device are provided for conveying tubes (2) on a textile machine in which cylindrical (21) or conical (22) tubes are conveyed, one at a time, by means of a conveyer (6) provided along a line of operating units from a tube container (5) to an attending device (4). The tube (2), while being conveyed, leans on the circumference only on the moving parts of the conveyer (6) in at least two straight sections parallel with the direction of motion of the conveyer (6). The conveyer for carrying out this method comprises two endless belts (61) arranged next to each other along the machine length in such a manner that their mutual distance is along the machine length constant and inferior to the average diameter of the tube to be conveyed (21, 22).
