Bobbins of yarn wound up on a winding device of a winding-up machine slide under gravity along a channel that maintains the orientation of the bobbins, both axially and in regard to the sense in which the yarn is wound, as determined by the winding device. Each bobbin dwells at a positioning device at the lower end of the channel through which a thrust member rises to carry the bobbin through an opening in the base of a container in which the bobbins are later carried away for further processing. The opening is normally closed by two flaps that lie edge to edge across the opening but are separated against spring action by the rising bobbin. The thrust member and plates carrying the flaps are so shaped that the flaps can immediately return to their closing positions beneath the bobbin when this has nearly wholly entered the container. The container may be inclined or have inclined base walls to enable the bobbins to pile up therein while always remaining in their initial orientation.
