Spinning machine with roving-bobbin feeder

摘要

A stationary service unit at one end of an elongate spinning machine coacts with a supply carriage delivering bobbins wound with rovings from a flyer at a preparatory stage and loads these bobbins onto depending grippers which are movable, manually or automatically, on an overhead guide rack. The rack may form an endless loop about the machine bed or may be divided into two parallel sections flanking same; in the latter instance the service unit may be swingable about a vertical axis toward one or the other section.
