Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for removing conical yarn bobbins, particularly in relation to withdrawing them from a conveyor belt which receives and moves said conical bobbins after they have been doffed and discharged from the units of a bobbin producing textile machine, and depositing them in an ordered arrangement on a peg trolley.

Abstract: This invention is an apparatus for withdrawing yarn bobbins, from withdrawal preparation tracks which carry the bobbins and for transferring the withdrawn bobbins into a wheel-mounted container. When the bobbins are transferred to the container they lie in a predetermined ordered arrangement which is related to the bobbin shape and size. The apparatus comprises vertically and angularly displaceable roller tracks which are on a mobile slide or support for preparing the bobbins for handling. These are automatically centered because of a substantially V-shaped arrangement of the supporting roller tracks. The apparatus also comprises a gripping device for simultaneously withdrawing and transferring several bobbins prepared on a roller track. This device is in the form of a multi-engagement gripper which is provided with various pairs of jaws for external gripping. It is also provided with a pendant rod-shaped arm which translates along two axes.

Abstract: A plate mountable on the base of a bin-type container and advantageously profiled with transverse projections to provide the first layer of bobbins with stability against rolling, and also ensure that the subsequent filling takes place in accordance with precise storage configurations in order to obtain a considerable storage density.The profiling of the removable plate is universal, i.e. is suitable for any diameter of cylindrical or conical bobbin.
