Abstract: An automatic winding machine, includes a plurality of winding stations each having a bobbin unwinding location, a plurality of bobbin magazines each disposed at a respective winding station for receiving a plurality of bobbins on bobbin tubes in order with respect to their tips, the bobbins each having a thread end prepared for unwinding at a given location thereon, and a thread suction device disposed above each respective bobbin magazine having a suction opening formed therein facing the upper end of a bobbin tube of a bobbin disposed in the bobbin magazine to be transferred to the unwinding location.

Abstract: An automatic coil winding machine with a multiplicity of winding stations at which supply coil magazines with respective rotary feeders are provided, and with a loading device for loading the magazines with supply coils which are moved by transporting means to the magazines, each of the supply coil magazines having a filling location for automatic feeding, and an unloading location, and means for always storing at least one supply coil in the respective rotary feeder between the filling location and the unloading location, includes a device proximate to the filling location and actuatable for performing a function leading to prevention of overfilling a respective rotary feeder with the supply coils.

Abstract: Method of discontinuing operation of a winding device for textile coils after a thread break wherein the winding device has a winding cylinder whereon a coil to be wound rolls around, frictionally driven by the winding cylinder and an adjustable cut-off device responsive to a predetermined coil winding fullness, which includes in response to a thread break signal, rendering the cut-off device ineffective as well as inducing subsequent lifting of the coil away from the winding cylinder, and device for carrying out the foregoing method.

Abstract: Apparatus for holding ready and positioning of yarn packages in textile machines which includes spool holders radially disposed in stellar form and revolvable about horizontally mounted shafts, and respective arm means to which the spool holders are articulatingly secured and together with which form an unwinding device.
