Abstract

A process of stacking bobbin formers in superimposed layers in a former magazine and separating the bobbin formers of, at least, the lowest layer and removing them from the former magazine. The bobbin formers of the lowest layer are maintained in contact on their underside with a support which moves in direction of the discharge point. A device for the storage of bobbin formers in a former magazine comprising a conveyor is disposed below the stored bobbin formers to separate said bobbin formers. The running direction of the conveyor is essentially tangential to the surface of the stored bobbin formers. The device includes a device for the removal of separated bobbin formers is supported on a support which is moved in the direction of the discharge point. This support exerts a tangential frictional force upon the surfaces of the bobbin formers so that said bobbin formers roll towards the discharge point.
