  • Patent number: 5292081
    Abstract: A textile yarn spinning apparatus is disclosed for continuously producing a plurality of synthetic filament yarns, and wherein a plurality of winding machines are arranged in rows along a service aisle. A doffer travels along the service aisle from winding machine to winding machine, and the doffer receives at each serviced winding machine the full packages from the winding spindle and delivers the packages to a transport carriage. The transport carriage delivers the full packages to a temporary package storage area composed of high-rise creels arranged in rows, and they are later delivered from the storage area to a further processing station where they are manually inspected and packaged for shipment. The temporary package storage area permits continuous operation of the apparatus over a twenty four hour period, with the manual inspection and packaging being conducted during a normal eight hour work shift.
