Abstract
A system for transporting various kinds of cops to an automatic winder which includes a number of winding units. The winding units are divided into a plurality of winding sections, whereby a kind of cops from a spinning frame are supplied to and unwound on one of the sections. A cop supplying passage and an empty bobbin returning passage are provided between the sections and the spinning frame so as to form a closed loop.

A system for transporting different kinds of cops after fine spinning to a winder which includes a number of winding units therein and is divided into a plurality of winding sections in which different kinds of yarns are rewound, characterized in that said winder and a plurality of fine spinning frames for producing various kinds of yarns thereon are interconnected by supply means for supporting and transporting cops in an upright position along a main supplying passage and return means for supporting and transporting bobbins in an upright position along a returning passage, the supply means and the return means being common to the various kinds of yarns, said supply means and the individual sections of said winder are interconnected by branch supply means for supporting and transporting cops in an upright position along branch supplying passages, the branch supply means and the return means being interconnected by cop delivery means for supporting and transporting cops from the branch supply means to a winding unit where an unwinding operation occurs thereby forming bobbins and for supporting and transporting said bobbins to the return means, wherein cop discriminating sensors are disposed along the main supply passage adjacent to the branch supply passage and wherein cop selectors which are actuated by the cop discriminating sensors and which control whether a cop travels along the main supply passage or along a particular branch supply passage are disposed along the main supply passage adjacent the particular branch supply passage.
A system for transporting various kinds of cops to a winder having a series of winding units corresponding to the various kinds of cops and for transporting the bobbins resulting from operation of the winder to a series of spinning frames having particular spinning frames corresponding to the various kinds of cops, the system comprising:
- main cop supply means for conveying all of the various kinds of cops from the series of spinning frames to the winder;
- main bobbin supply means for conveying all of the bobbins resulting from operation of the winder to the series of spinning frames, the main cop supply means and the main bobbin supply means forming a closed loop between the winder and the series of spinning frames;
- particular cop supply means for conveying a particular kind of cop from the main cop supply means to a winding unit corresponding to the kind of cop conveyed;
- winder supply and discharge means for conveying a cop to a winding unit and a bobbin resulting from operation of said winding unit to the main bobbin supply means;
- cop discriminating sensor means for discriminating between the various kinds of cops traveling on the main cop supply means;
- and
- cop selector means actuated by a cop discriminating sensor means for guiding a particular kind of cop from the main cop supply means to the particular cop supply means corresponding to said particular kind of cop.
