Abstract

A transport system for spinning bobbins and bobbin tubes comprises a transport path with two essentially vertical sections and an essentially horizontal section connected therebetween. The spinning bobbins and bobbin tubes are transported on pallets whose foot portion comprises an element consisting of magnetizable material. A conveyor belt runs along the transport path at the back side of which belt stationarily arranged permanent magnets are arranged to exert magnetic forces to hold the pallets on the conveyor belt.
