Abstract

A yarn package transfer apparatus is provided which includes devices for removing hollow yarn package adapter devices from downwardly and generally vertically-extending package holders movably and serially-mounted on an overhead conveying system, for inserting such hollow adapter devices into the hollow tubes of a desired number of yarn packages positioned in a generally horizontal position in a package supply assembly, and for transferring such packages of yarn from the package supply assembly and mounting the hollow adapter devices and yarn packages carried thereby onto the vertically-extending package holders of the overhead conveying system for conveying of the yarn packages. The apparatus preferably includes devices for positioning the loose ends of the yarn from the yarn packages on the adapter device in desired positions during the transferring operation.
