Multi-station textile machine, especially double twisting machine or cabling machine, with sequentially arranged spool containers

A multi-station textile machine comprised of:

• a machine frame having spool containers sequentially connected thereto for receiving feed spools;
• an endless conveying device having spool holders for continuously or intermittently conveying the feed spools on said spool holders, said endless conveying device having a guide rail that extends about a periphery of said machine frame in close contact with said machine frame, wherein a horizontal plane defined by a lowermost point of the feed spools transported by said spool holders is substantially at a same level as a plane defined by an upper side of said spool containers;
• said spool holders conveyed by said conveying device spaced from one another 3 to 8 times a distance between neighboring ones of said spool containers;
• each said spool holder having an abutment at a rearward end thereof in a conveying direction of said conveying device;
• and
• said abutment is a plate that is pivotable about a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to said conveying direction.
