A pallet for transporting a textile cop or tube in a textile machine transport system accommodates tubes of differing inside diameters by providing at least three independently radially positionable support elements spaced circumferentially about a tube-support spindle and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the spindle and at least one resilient element acting radially outwardly on the support elements. The support elements are formed as fins that extend through slots in the spindle and are acted upon by torsion bars springs which spring-load adjacent fins in alternation. When textile yarn tubes are mounted on the spindles, the retaining force of the spindle increases steadily and attains its maximum once the tube is fully mounted.
A pallet for transporting a textile yarn tube relative to a textile machine, comprising a disk-like base plate, a spindle extending centrally from the base plate for supporting the tube, at least three support elements spaced circumferentially about the spindle and extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal extent of the spindle, the support elements being independently positionable radially relative to the spindle, and a plurality of torsion bar springs corresponding in number to the plurality of support elements, the torsion bar springs being disposed between and substantially parallel to the supporting elements, each spring having arms at its opposite ends extending in opposite directions to engage the adjacent pair of support elements for providing resiliency in a direction radially with respect to the longitudinal extent of the spindle for urging the support elements radially outwardly from the spindle.
