Abstract

A method and apparatus for automatically removing and collecting in an orderly fashion fully-spun cops from a plurality of textile ring spinning machines wherein each ring spinning machine has a longitudinal conveyor for transporting doffed cops to one machine end and a movable cart is provided for transverse travel between the corresponding machine ends for collection of doffed cops from the machine conveyors. The cart carries a plurality of cop magazines and an associated means for automatically depositing cops into a magazine in a cop receiving position. Means are provided for automatically receiving and delivering doffed cops from the machine conveyors to the cop depositing means and means are further provided for automatically positioning the magazines one-by-one in proper cop receiving position with respect to the cop depositing means.
