Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transferring yarn packages doffed from a textile machine provided with a conveyer belt disposed along the longitudinal direction thereof, to a container. The yarn packages are carried to one end of the conveyer and then dropped into the container positioned at a receiving position below and next to the end of the conveyer. The dropping distance from the end portion of the carrying surface of the conveyer to the surface for receiving yarn packages in the container is always maintained at a substantially predetermined distance which is larger than the width L of one package, but smaller than the width of two packages.
