<p>The apparatus comprises two laterally spaced upstanding frame members (24) located at the rear of the unrolling machine (2), an endless chain (9) mounted for circulation on each upstanding frame member, a plurality of pairs of holding hooks (10a, 10b) mounted in spaced apart relationship on each endless chain, stock supply means (29) for supporting rolls (3A,3B,3C,3D) of fabrics material which are to be picked up on at a time by holding hooks on ascending rear runs of the chains and means (25) for receiving empty cores (3 min ) one at a time from the unrolling machine and guiding the empty cores to holding hooks on descending front runs of the chains. The latter holding hooks carry the empty cores to the bottom of the apparatus where, preferably, they are collected on inclined collecting members (4b) which extend to the rear of the apparatus. Hence, the rolls (3A,3B,3C,3D) can be fed automatically to the machine (2) and empty cores can be automatically transferred from the machine (2) to an easily accessible collecting point.</p> |
