Abstract

Apparatus for transporting spinning tubes mounted on peg trays for supply and removal of spinning tubes to and from a textile spinning machine comprises an endless upstanding conveyor belt to which a plurality of transport members are affixed at spacings therealong. Each transport member has a recess at its opposite leading and trailing sides such that the leading and trailing recesses of adjacent succeeding transport members are cooperative for receiving therebetween a peg tray. Each transport member also has a concave arcuate guide surface at its opposite leading and trailing sides such that the leading and trailing guide surfaces of adjacent succeeding transport members define an enclosure for securely positioning a peg tray therebetween.
