Described is a suspension conveyor system for conveying bobbins (1) to predetermined bobbin positions (RSP) in a spinning mill machine, particularly a ring spinning machine, the suspension conveyor system comprising a conveying path passing along the predetermined bobbin positions (RSP) for the travel therealong of at least one driven conveyor train (4) carrying a plurality of bobbins (1). A transfer mechanism (14, 14') mounted for travelling along the spinning mill machine is provided for the transfer of individual bobbins (1) from the conveying path to the predetermined bobbin positions. In order to achieve a rapid and accurate transfer of bobbins (1) to the ring spinning machine the invention proposes to provide a bobbin carriage (14, 14') adapted to travel parallel to the conveying path (3) in unison with the conveyor train (4) and carrying a separating and guide mechanism (16, 30, 32) for the transfer of an individual bobbin (1) from the conveyor train (4) to a predetermined bobbin position (RSP).
A suspension conveyor system for conveying suspended bobbins to predetermined bobbin positions in a spinning mill machine, comprising a conveying path passing along said predetermined bobbin positions, at least one driven conveyor train carrying a plurality of bobbins for conveyance along said conveying path, and a bobbin transfer means for transferring individual bobbins from said conveyor train to said predetermined bobbin positions, said bobbin transfer means comprising a bobbin carriage adapted to travel along parallel to said conveying path and in unison with said conveyor train, said bobbin carriage carrying a separating and guide mechanism for transferring an individual bobbin from said conveyor train to one of said predetermined bobbin positions.
