Abstract: The machine for ordering textile tubes for entry into the distributor of a continuous spinning machine includes mechanisms that perform that ordering so that, independently, the textile tubes can be delivered to one side or the other of the spinning machine and devices for ordering tubes of different dimensions automatically. The ordering machine has a hopper, containing textile tubes, two parallel vertical conveyor belts provided with textile tube holders for the tubes which move the tubes from one end at the hopper to another end remote from it, a bottom discharge device for feeding the ordered tubes to the spinning machine and lateral guides for guiding the tubes to the bottom discharge devices. The textile tube holders are advantageously rubber sections vulcanized onto the conveyor belt of various transverse cross-sections or metallic angular sections fastened to the conveyor belts.

Abstract: A self-sounding tag alarm apparatus having a tag type main body attached to a commodity and automatically operable to sound an alarm when an attempt is made to steal the commodity. The apparatus includes a coupling such as a wire, pin or the like for detachably attaching the main apparatus body to the commodity, an alarm generator mounted in the main apparatus body, a detector for detecting a signal of a particular frequency produced externally of the main apparatus body and removal of the coupling, a reset signal intake device for taking into the main apparatus body a reset signal applied externally of the main apparatus body, and an alarm control device for rendering the alarm generator operative based on a detection signal received from the detector, and rendering the alarm generator inoperative based on the reset signal received from the reset signal intake device.
