Abstract: This invention is directed to a manipulator for automatically supplying centrifuge machines for rotating bobbins of yarn in which the manipulator includes a carriage equipped with stop wings and tightening arms which grip the bobbins conducted to the carriage by a conveyor and wherein the carriage moves the bobbins to the baskets of the centrifuge machines and thereafter returns to its initial position while flaps mounted on the carriage cover the centrifuge machine as the bobbins are rotated therein and thereafter the flaps urge the bobbins from the centrifuge machines to a receiver plate.

Abstract: A device for loading and unloading a rotating basket in a centrifuge for spin drying bobbins of yarn wherein a hub is provided centrally of the basket and which guides an annular bearing plate which is vertically shiftable with respect to the basket so as to be selectively engageable with and supportive of a bobbin of yarn which is lowered into the basket, subjected to centrifugal action, and thereafter raised to a discharge position above the basket.
