ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for automatically supplying cops to a thread winder wherein the inefficient manual operation of supplying the cops one by one into each of the cop-holding magazines mounted in juxtaposition to the thread winder can be dispensed with. To this end, the apparatus of the invention comprises, as an essential component, a travelling cop feeder with means for sequentially feeding a number of cops from a cop-containing section through a cop feed-out section thereof, means for receiving and holding the cops by a cop-holding and charging section mounted in the cop-receiving position below said feed-out section and transferring them automatically alongside the thread winder, means for stopping said charging section in a position registering with each cop-holding magazine in the thread winder by a stop position control device, and means for charging the cops into the cop pocket in said magazine. In addition, means are provided for sensing the presence or absence of cops in the cop housing in the magazine for selectively charging the cops held by said charging section; replenishing cops selectively and automatically into the cop-containing section of the travelling cop feeder; for maintaining the relative position between the cop-holding magazine and the cop charging section for preventing any malfunction in the charging of cops from said charging section into said magazine; and controlling the operation of the travelling cop feeder so as to halt it for every other magazine for cop delivery thereto when the feeder is proceeding in one direction and for each intermediate magazine for cop delivery thereto when the feeder is travelling in the opposite direction from its stroke end, either as a whole or separately, for enabling an efficient cop delivery to the thread winder and dispensing with manual operation.
