Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0514321A1] The device contains a preparation station (5) for equipping bobbin holders (12) with supply bobbins (4) and a transport loop (7) for transporting these bobbin holders (12) towards weaving machines arranged in groups and for returning bobbin holders (12') containing empty bobbin tubes towards the preparation station (5) as well as at least one storage zone (7c) branching off from the transport loop (7) and intended for receiving a number of bobbin holders (12, 12') corresponding to the respective bobbin requirement of at least one of the weaving-machine groups (1a, 1b,...1n). To exchange the bobbin holders (12' or 12) on the weaving machines, there is a feed device (18) which is mounted on an additional transport device (10) which is movable towards a plurality of weaving-machine groups (1a, 1b,...1n) independently of the transport loop (7) and which is intended for the temporary reception of the bobbin holders (12, 12') feedable from the storage zone (7c) and returnable to the latter. This design achieves a simple and uncomplicated construction of the device which allows the weaving machines to be fed according to requirements and in a manner which can be automated in a simple way. <IMAGE>
