ABSTRACT:
A can distribution apparatus includes an assembly forming an endless path interconnecting a plurality of distribution locations for support movement of cans to and between distribution locations and an assembly for simultaneously advancing cans of varying degrees of fullness and readiness to a textile machine. The can distribution locations include a textile machine delivery location, a can return location, a full can supply location, and a can receipt location. The advancement of each can is effected simultaneous with the advancement of the other cans in the endless path independent of whether the can is empty, partially loaded or contains a full load and whether the full load is prepared for delivery or not. A detector detects the sliver fullness of each can on the endless path and signals this information to a control device which controls the distribution of cans to the various can distribution locations. A sliver end preparation device prepares full cans for delivery to a textile machine and a detector detects the presence or absence of an end in a preferred position. The control device prevents the distribution of cans having a full load of unprepared sliver to a textile machine in response to a signal from the detector.
