Abstract

A winding apparatus is disclosed which includes a rotatable revolver having a pair of spindles mounted thereon, with the spindles being adapted to coaxially mount one or more bobbin tubes. Upon rotation of the revolver, the spindles are moved between a winding position and a doffing position, and a traversing mechanism is provided for traversing an advancing yarn and so as to form a cross wound package on the tubes at the winding position. Means are also provided for automatically transferring the advancing yarn from the rotating full package which has been moved to the doffing position, to a rotating empty bobbin tube on a spindle which has been moved to the winding position, and which comprises a yarn lifting device for removing the advancing yarn from the traversing means and conveying the advancing yarn laterally to a yarn catching plane, and a yarn transferring mechanism which laterally deflects the yarn from the yarn catching plane to a bead plane which is within the normal traverse stroke.
