An assembly for the orderly and sequentially timed transport of bobbins includes a bobbin producing machine, at least one conveyor belt with a given load capacity and bobbin carrying capacity downstream of the bobbin producing machine in bobbin travel direction, a switching device for the conveyor belt, a controllable individual bobbin retaining device downstream of the conveyor belt including a bobbin retaining element, a bobbin transporter downstream of the bobbin retaining device with a load capacity and bobbin carrying capacity being smaller than the given capacities, the bobbin transporter including receiving elements for individual bobbins, and a device for operating the bobbin transporter in step with the conveyor belt, such as in the form of a timing device of the bobbin transporter and/or a sensor controlling the switching device of the conveyor belt.
Assembly for the orderly and sequentially timed transport of bobbins, comprising a bobbin producing machine, first and second conveyor belts with a given load capacity and a given bobbin carrying capacity downstream of said bobbin producing machine in a bobbin travel direction, a switching device for switching said conveyor belts on and off, a controllable individual bobbin retaining device downstream of said conveyor belts including a bobbin retaining element, said bobbin retaining device being movable between a bobbin receiving position in the vicinity of at least one of said first and second conveyor belts and a bobbin delivery position, a bobbin transporter downstream of said bobbin retaining device with a load capacity and bobbin carrying capacity being smaller than said given load and bobbin carrying capacities, said bobbin transporter including receiving means for individual bobbins, means for operating said bobbin transporter in step with said conveyor belts, said operating means including a bobbin presence sensor causing said bobbin transporter to advance if a bobbin is present and causing said retaining element to open if a bobbin is not present at a given location on said bobbin transporter, said bobbin retaining device being in the form of a loading chute into which said conveyor belts deliver bobbins in sequence one after the other, and said bobbin transporter including a bobbin centralizing sleeve below said bobbin retaining device, said bobbin delivery position being disposed above said bobbin centralizing sleeve.
Assembly for the orderly and sequentially timed transport of bobbins, comprising a bobbin producing machine, first and second conveyor belts with a given bobbin load capacity, each of said belts including means spaced apart by a given distance for receiving individual bobbins from said bobbin producing machine, first and second switching devices for sequentially switching said first and second conveyor belts respectively by said given distance, a bobbin transporter with a bobbin load capacity smaller than said given bobbin load capacity, said bobbin transporter having means for receiving individual bobbins, first and second individual bobbin retaining devices disposed between said conveyor belts and said bobbin transporter, said bobbin retaining devices being in the form of loading chutes into which said conveyor belts deliver bobbins in sequence one after the other, a common operating device for moving said first bobbin retaining device between a bobbin receiving position in the vicinity of said first conveyor belt and a bobbin delivery position and for moving said second bobbin retaining device between another bobbin receiving position in the vicinity of said second conveyor belt and said bobbin delivery position, said bobbin retaining devices having bobbin presence sensors controlling said operating device and said conveyor belts, a bobbin centralizing sleeve disposed between said bobbin delivery position and said bobbin transporter, said centralizing sleeve including wall elements, and another operating device controlling said wall elements, said bobbin transporter having timing devices for moving said bobbin transporter in steps and for operating said other operating device and said bobbin retaining devices.
