Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for transporting rove bobbins between a flyer frame and a spinning frame wherein transporting operation of rove bobbins can be assured for a long period of time. The system comprises a plurality of driving devices provided at fixed positions along a transport rail. A carrier for hanging rove bobbins thereon is smoothly moved along the transport rail by way of a mechanical engaging structure which establishes motion transmission between the carrier and a successive one of the driving devices.
