Spinning bobbin transporting device

A bobbin transporting device for a spinning and winding system in which a winder and a fine spinning frame are provided in substantially adjacent relationship to each other, comprising:

• a carrier transporting path extending along at least a portion of the periphery of said fine spinning frame,
• a carrier accepting transporting path for said winder for accepting a carrier with a spinning bobbin thereon, said carrier accepting transporting path being connected to one end of said carrier transporting path,
• a carrier returning transporting path for returning a carrier with an empty bobbin thereon which is discharged from said winder, said carrier returning transporting path being connected to the other end of said carrier transporting path,
• said carrier transporting path and said carrier accepting transporting path being separated by a vertical distance H.sub.1 and by a horizontal distance 1.sub.1,
• said carrier transporting path and said carrier returning transporting path being separated by a vertical distance H.sub.2 and by a horizontal distance 1.sub.2,
• a first substantially linear connecting path inclined between said carrier transporting path and said carrier accepting transporting path at an angle .theta..sub.1, where:
• tan .theta..sub.1 =H.sub.1 /l.sub.1
• a second substantially linear connecting path inclined between said carrier transporting path and said carrier returning transporting path at an angle .theta..sub.2 where:
• tan .theta..sub.2 =H.sub.2 /l.sub.2
• whereby said carriers travel a vertical distance not greater than H.sub.1 between said carrier transporting path and said carrier accepting transporting path, and
• whereby said carriers travel a vertical distance not greater than H.sub.2 between said carrier returning transporting path and said carrier transporting path.
