Abstract

The doffing apparatus services a textile machine having a row of bobbin-receiving spindles extending in its length direction, and includes an elongate bobbin grasper member which projects generally parallel to the row of spindles and is movable relative thereto between elevated and lowered positions for the purpose of transporting bobbins to and from the spindles. The stop motion device is actuable by impedence of the aforesaid movement of the bobbin-grasper member, as reflected by relative movement that then transpires between components which support such member.
