<p>A bobbin transportation arrangement (10), in combination with one or more yarn processing machines (11), comprises a track (17) on which a plurality of bobbin carriers (18) run to transport empty tubes (27) from a store (19) to the machine (11) and wound packages (13) from the machine (11) to another store (12). The track (17) is elevated in regions remote from the machine (11), but has inclined sections (21) adjacent each end (25, 53) of the machine (11) connecting with a lower track (17) extending adjacent a side (15) of the machine (11), whereby bobbin receiving pegs (20) on a bobbin carrier (18) are at the same height as the wound packages (13) on the machine (11). A control device (24) on the machine (11) determines that packages (13) have been wound on a side (15) of the machine (11) and indicates successive despatch of the required number of bobbin carriers (18) to that machine side (15), where a transfer device (29) locates the bobbin carriers (18) successively adjacent the yarn processing positions (14), transfers wound packages (13) from the package winding cradles (31) to the bobbin carriers (18) and replaces them with empty tubes (27). <IMAGE></p> |
