Abstract

Apparatus for transporting spinning tubes mounted on peg trays for supply and removal of spinning tubes to and from spinning positions at opposite sides of a double-sided spinning machine comprises an endless upstanding conveyor belt extending about the machine. A plurality of transport members are affixed along two spaced transport sections of the belt each of a length corresponding to the spinning stations at the opposite machine side, for carrying peg trays with spinning tubes thereon. Obstruction elements are similarly affixed at spacings along the remaining extents of the belt to prevent receipt of peg trays therealong, whereby only the number of peg trays and spinning tubes required to supply the spinning positions of the machine are carried by the transport apparatus.
