Bobbin lifter/turner for stranding cages

摘要

Fork frame with lugs grips the flanges of the bobbin in the vertical position and is then changed to the second position of a vertical lifter frame at right angles to the frame used to lift it. This second frame has roll-off pieces in crescent shape which face each other in parallel and have points at their ends to serve as the pivot for the bobbin as it passes from vertical to horizontal position prior to loading into the cage headstock.
