Method and device for supplying empty conical coil cores to the individual winding stations of a textile machine

Method of feeding unwound conical coil cores to individual winding stations of a textile machine having a coil-exchanging device servicing a plurality of the winding stations for replacing fully wound coils with unwound conical coil cores which comprises initially telescoping unwound coil cores into sticks of cores, supplying the sticks of cores to a core magazine wherefrom the coil exchanging device successively replenishes its own supply of cores, and separating a respective individual unwound conical coil core from the supply of cores of the coil exchanging device and exchanging it for a fully wound coil at a respective winding station, and which includes maintaining relative movement between the winding stations and the core magazine, on the one hand, and the operationally ready coil exchanging device, on the other hand, at all times other than the time of coil exchange of the telescoped unwound coil cores and times at which take-up of the supplied sticks of cores by the core magazine occurs.
