Abstract

The yarn handling machine employs a bobbin gripper which engages a bobbin positioned at a collection position and moves the bobbin to a transfer location whereat the bobbin is transferred into a cradle mechanism. Both the bobbin gripper and cradle mechanism are moved together to position the bobbin at a winding position. During the latter phase of movement, the bobbin gripper pivots on a carrier arm to accommodate the joint motion of the gripper and cradle mechanism.
