Abstract

An apparatus for arranging cross-wound packages, wound on a spinning machine, upon an auxiliary transport belt which is aligned with a main transport belt extending longitudinally of the spinning machine and serving for carrying away the cross-wound packages. One end of the auxiliary transport belt adjoins one neighboring confronting end of the main transport belt. A detector is actuated by the cross-wound packages moved by the transport belt and initiates starting of the auxiliary transport belt upon the arrival of a cross-wound package. Also, there is provided a stopping device for the auxiliary transport belt, whereby the latter is stopped after it has moved through a distance at least approximately equal to the bobbin length. The currently known continuous sliding of the transport belt under the full cross-wound packages is thus avoided. There is also avoided that the thread layers of the cross-wound packages entangle with one another or come to lie at the end faces of the cross-wound packages which would severely impede unwinding thereof or even make such unwinding impossible.
