Abstract
A cop supplying apparatus in an automatic winder includes a full cop delivery conveyor belt and an empty cop delivery conveyor belt arranged along each of a plurality of winding units of the winder. A cop fitted on an individual cop deliverying carrier is travelled on the conveyor belt and a passage for receiving the carrier from the conveyor belt is formed in each winding unit. The cops are located at predetermined position of the passage and after a predetermined number of carriers have been stored on the passage, subsequent cops are blocked by the last carrier stored in the passage. The device for delivering the cop to the yarn feed position from the conveyor belt is constructed by a rotary disc and guide plates which are forming the passage for the carrier on the disc.
