ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for placing fiber bales in readiness for removing fiber tufts therefrom by a travelling bale opener having an operational range, includes a first arrangement for supporting thereon a plurality of consecutively positioned fiber bales forming a standby bale series having a leading end and a trailing end; and a second arrangement for supporting thereon a plurality of consecutively positioned fiber bales forming an operational bale series to be worked on by the bale opener. The trailing end of the standby bale series is at a greater distance from the second arrangement than the leading end. The second arrangement receives fiber bales from the first arrangement for replenishing the fiber bales of the operational bale series with fiber bales of the standby bale series. The apparatus further includes a bale transporting carriage for conveying a fiber bale to the trailing end of the standby bale series and for depositing the fiber bale, conveyed by the carriage, onto the first arrangement at the trailing end to replenish the standby bale series.
