Abstract

The present invention concerns a procedure and an apparatus for the simultaneous transportation of one group of cans (31, 310, 311) in a row from a can rack (6, 60, 61)--the cans (3) being capable of being filled with fiber band--to a frame machine (2) and/or to another textile machine (4) or to a can depot (5). The group of cans (31, 310, 311) is brought in common with the can rack (6, 60, 61) for the filling of said cans (3) into a first work station (A.sub.1) on the frame machine (2). The can rack (6, 60, 61) remains at that point during the filling of the cans (3) of this can group (31, 310, 311) until, after the filling of all the cans (3) on the can rack, the can rack (6, 60, 61) then, once again with the cans, is transported to the additional textile machine (4) or to the can depot 5. The can rack (6, 60, 61) may, together with the can group (31, 310, 311), be brought to another work site at, for instance, the additional textile machine (4) or to a storage zone in a can depot (5), to remain there during the processing of the fiber bands which are in the cans (3) of this can group (31, 310, 311) or during the storage of said can group.
