| (54) | Package transfer arrangement |
| (57) A textile machine (11) has an arrangement (10) for transferring full packages (16)
of processed yarn from the winding position to a store and removal position without
rolling and thereby unwinding the end of the yarn from the package (16). A control
arrangement (44) moves the cradle (12) from the winding position to a package brake
position and then to an open position, where the package (16) is transferred to a
first transfer device (20). This is then moved from its package receiving position,
via a park position, to a transfer position at which the package (16) is transferred
to a second transfer device (21). The second transfer device (21) is then moved to
a store position. A tube loading device (22) is then operated to supply a new tube
(15) to the cradle (12), and the cradle (12), the first (20) and second (21) transfer
devices and the tube loading device (22) are moved to their respective positions for
winding of a new package (16) to commence. |
