Abstract
A manipulating device for can changing between a can changing carriage and a row of payout cans in a spinning machine is described for the case where rectangular cans are used. To automate the transfer of the cans without substantially increasing the expense for space in the region of the carriage compared with the case of manual transfer, and without having to engage an empty can, which is to be pulled out of a row of cans, from behind or beneath the can, a substantially one-piece can carrier is provided, which is supported displaceably, crosswise to the carriage travel direction, in a rail guide on the carriage and which on each of its longitudinal ends has a preferably pivotably supported gripper, each for coupling to one short side of the cans.
