Abstract
A method of conveying textile material in recipients from a machine delivering textile material to a machine receiving textile material by means of a self-propelled conveying carriage (F) whose movements are controlled by a central control unit (Z). A disadvantage of the known systems is that despite the use of a self-propelled carriage for the between-machines transfer of the cans, fully automatic operation without manual intervention is impossible--i.e., some manual intervention is required at short intervals of time. According to the invention, therefore, the carriage (F) is controlled for the return of recipients (7) from the textile material receiving machine (S1, S2) to the textile material delivering machine (K1-K3) by the central control unit (Z) on the basis of control signals delivered thereto and that a checking station (L) is provided on the path of the carriage (F) from the textile material receiving machine (S1, S2) to the textile material delivering machine (K1, K3) to monitor the content and/or condition of the recipients on the carriage and is connected to the control unit (Z).
