Bobbin slides for respooling machines

摘要

A bobbin slide for automatically guiding a bobbin on a thread respooling machine includes an elongated generally U-shaped housing which is pivoted about a horizontal axis at one end thereof. The other end of the housing is provided with a sloped portion disposed proximate a take-up finger which is adapted to receive the bobbin. A spring bias means is coupled to the housing at one end for urging the housing sloped portion towards the take-up finger. The weight of the bobbin on the housing causes the housing to move away from the take-up finger permitting the finger to enter the opening in the bobbin and thereby position it for use.
