Abstract
An apparatus for automatically changing cans of a spinning machine, such as a drawing frame or a carding machine. The apparatus comprises: a movable support frame which can be reciprocated along the can transporting direction; and a plurality of can transporting arms which are substantially equidistantly arranged on the support frame and which can alternately be located at operating positions where the arms transport the cans and stand-by positions where the arms do not interfere with the cans, whereby, when the movable support frame is moved forward, the can transporting arms are maintained at the operating positions so as to transport the cans, and then, after the can transporting arms are returned to their stand-by positions from their operating positions, the support frame is moved backward. The apparatus is characterized in that it further comprises an arm height adjusting member by which individual heights of the can transporting arms in the operating positions where the arms are abutted with the cans are adjustable while the can transporting arms in the stand-by positions are almost at the same level as each other.
