Method of transferring yarn packages

摘要

A method of transferring oppositely but randomly oriented yarn packages from a spinning machine to a subsequent operation comprising moving the spinning machine conveyor on which the yarn packages are so disposed to deposit one of the packages onto a package turning means and stopping the conveyor; sensing the orientation of the package while on the package turning means; turning the package turning means in one direction or the other responsive to signals from the sensing means so that all sequential packages will be removed from the turning means facing in the same direction; moving the package off from the package turning means and sensing whether or not the package has been so removed; and again moving the spinning machine conveyor responsive to the sensing of the first package having been removed from the turning means.
