Abstract
An automatic winder that enables the number of yarn-supplying-bobbin feeding devices to be increased easily. In an automatic winder comprising an ejection passage formed therein for ejecting a bobbin conveying medium (a tray T) with a bobbin placed thereon and a feeding passage formed therein for supplying the bobbin conveying medium, the automatic winder having a plurality of installation spaces S in each of which a single winding unit U can be installed, wherein a yarn-supplying-bobbin feeding device that is compatible with the winding unit U in terms with mounting dimensions is installed in an arbitrary installation space S while the winding unit U is installed in each of the other installation spaces S so that the bobbin conveying medium ejected from the winding unit U can be received by the yarn-supplying-bobbin feeding device via the ejection passage while the bobbin conveying medium can be supplied from the yarn-supplying-bobbin feeding device to the winding unit U via the feeding passage . The number of yarn-supplying-bobbin feeding devices can be increased easily, so that for example, the number of yarn types handled by a single automatic winder can be changed easily.
