A thread winding machine or similar winding apparatus with a bobbin revolver carrying at least two chucks rotatable or pivotable between a winding position and an inoperative position, the machine including ejector means automatically dislodging a finished bobbin package from its chuck upon reaching said inoperative position, e.g. by means of a push member engaging the inboard end of a bobbin tube on which the package is wound, and take-up means maintained in close proximity below the finished package at the inoperative position to act as a package receiving cradle mounted slidably on the machine for movement axially outwardly of the chuck and to support the dislodged package in a rest position forward of the chucks, i.e. in front of the outboard end of the chucks, and free of interference from a new package being wound on the chuck in the operative winding position.
