Apparatus for supplying spool tubes to a movable spool package changing device of the type which is selectively applied to individual spool package producing positions of a machine, comprising:
- at least one stationary intermediate magazine disposed along and intermediate end points of a path for a movable spool changing device, said intermediate magazine serving to store spool tubes for direct transfer to the movable spool changing device when said changing device is in a position adjacent to and in communication with said at least one intermediate magazine,
- a tube transport device for carrying a supply of tubes and serving as a main magazine for supplying tubes to the machine, said tube transport device being continuously movable past the intermediate magazine,
- and an intermediate magazine tube refilling device for removing tubes from the tube transport device to refill the intermediate magazine with said tubes.
Apparatus for supplying spool tubes to a movable spool package changing device of the type which is selectively applied to individual spool package producing positions of a machine, comprising:
- an intermediate magazine disposed along a path for a movable spool changing device, said intermediate magazine serving to store spool tubes for transfer to the movable spool changing device.
- a tube transport device for carrying a supply of tubes, said tube transport device being continuously movable past the intermediate magazine,
- and an intermediate magazine tube refilling device for removing tubes from the tube transport device to refill the intermediate magazine with said tubes,
- wherein the tube transport device is constructed as an endless conveyor trough which has a width that is adapted to the diameter of the tubes and a drivable belt which is guided upright serving as a bottom of the conveyor trough.
Apparatus for supplying spool tubes to a movable spool package changing device of the type which is selectively applied to individual spool package producing positions of a machine, comprising:
- an intermediate magazine disposed along a path for a movable spool changing device, said intermediate magazine serving to store spool tubes for transfer to the movable spool changing device,
- a tube transport device for carrying a supply of tubes, said tube transport device being continuously movable past the intermediate magazine,
- and an intermediate magazine tube refilling device for removing tubes from the tube transport device to refill the intermediate magazine with said tubes,
- wherein braking devices for braking the tubes carried along by the tube transport device are provided in the travelling direction upstream of the intermediate magazine.
Apparatus for supplying spool tubes to a movable spool package changing device of the type which is selectively applied to individual spool package producing positions of a machine, comprising:
- an intermediate magazine disposed along a path for a movable spool changing device, said intermediate magazine serving to store spool tubes for transfer to the movable spool changing device,
- a tube transport device for carrying a supply of tubes, said tube transport device being continuously movable past the intermediate magazine,
- and an intermediate magazine tube refilling device for removing tubes from the tube transport device to refill the intermediate magazine with said tubes,
- wherein tube separating devices are provided for separating tubes on the tube transport device for transfer to the intermediate magazine.
Apparatus for supplying spool tubes to a movable spool package changing device of the type which is selectively applied to individual spool package producing positions of a machine, comprising:
- an intermediate magazine disposed along a path for a movable spool changing device, said intermediate magazine serving to store spool tubes for transfer to the movable spool changing device,
- a tube transport device for carrying a supply of tubes, said tube transport device being continuously movable past the intermediate magazine,
- and an intermediate magazine tube refilling device for removing tubes from the tube transport device to refill the intermediate magazine with said tubes,
- wherein tube transfer devices for transferring tubes moved by on the tube transport device are assigned for transferring tubes to the intermediate magazine and are equipped with a control which is connected with devices for recognizing a tube situated on the tube transport device and devices for recognizing a requirement of the intermediate magazine to be refilled.
