Abstract:
A transport system for spinning bobbins and bobbin tubes each supported on a pallet having a foot portion including an element of magnetizable material to be acted upon by permanent magnets during transport along a transport path bridging a passage, wherein the transport path comprises at least one conveyor belt traveling along two essentially vertical sections and an essentially horizontal section connected therebetween and stationarily arranged permanent magnets associated with an underside of the at least one conveyor belt along the essentially vertical sections for exerting magnetic attractive forces on the magnetizable material of the foot portions of the pallets to hold the pallets on the conveyor belt, and further comprising the permanent magnets being arranged to provide a zone of stronger magnetic forces in the area of a receiving position at the beginning of a first one of the essentially vertical sections of the transport path.
