Abstract

A cop changing and transport system for a composite ring spinning and winding machine wherein both the ring spinning machine and the winding machine have respective transport systems 2 and 3 in which circulate separate respective groups of transport pallets 25 and 26, dedicated to the respective machines. A transfer device 1 is disposed at an adjacent location between the transport systems 2 and 3, and has two adjoining transport disks 8, 9 rotating in the same direction. Cop and tube manipulating devices 42 are respectively disposed on the transport disks 8 and 9 on support columns 39 of a support structure 38, which manipulating devices are positively controlled in the course of the rotation of the transport disks 8 and 9 such that the manipulating devices continuously transfer the spinning cops 59 or the empty tubes 60 from the transport pallets of one transport system to the transport pallets of the other transport system.
