Bobbin transporting system for roving and spinning machines with apparatus to exchange bobbins of differing pitches

摘要

A bobbin transporting system are overhead transporting rail for the flyer frames and an overhead transporting rail for spinning machines are disposed independent of each other. The bobbin transporting carrier running on the transporting rail for the flyer frames suspends the bobbin hangers at a pitch equal to that of bobbin wheels of the flyer frame arrayed in one of two rows in which the bobbin wheels are disposed in a zigzag pattern. The bobbin transporting carrier running on the transporting rail for the spinning frames suspends bobbin hangers at a pitch equal to that of reserve roving bobbins disposed at both sides of a spinning machine. A bobbin exchanging apparatus is disposed at a location where both the transporting rails extend in parallel and close to each other. In the bobbin exchanging apparatus, bobbins suspended at different pitches from the respective bobbin transporting carriers travelling on the transporting rails in opposite directions, respectively, are exchanged.
