A bobbin replacement apparatus for a spinning machine, the bobbin replacement apparatus comprising: a bobbin support member that supports a bobbin with a first bobbin support axis extending in parallel to a vertical axis arranged at a center of the bobbin; a bobbin transport member that supports the bobbin with a second bobbin support axis that is disposed at a position shifted from the first bobbin support axis in a horizontal direction and arranged at the center of the bobbin; a bobbin holder that holds the bobbin with a holder axis arranged at the center of the bobbin; a doffing bar that supports the bobbin holder; a lifting mechanism that moves the doffing bar upward and downward in a direction parallel to a lift axis; and a tilting mechanism that tilts the entire lifting mechanism relative to the vertical axis, characterized in that a support mechanism supporting the bobbin holder via the doffing bar is provided between the lifting mechanism and the doffing bar, the support mechanism includes a position changing mechanism that changes a position of the bobbin holder so that an angle between the holder axis and the lift axis is set at at least two different angles, the support mechanism maintaining the angle between the holder axis and the lift axis at a first angle when the lift axis is arranged in parallel to the second bobbin support axis, and the support mechanism maintaining the angle between the holder axis and the lift axis at a second angle that is greater than the first angle when the lift axis of the lifting mechanism is tilted relative to the second bobbin support axis by the tilting mechanism, the holder axis and the second bobbin support axis are disposed coaxially when the support mechanism maintains the angle between the holder axis and the lift axis at the first angle, and the holder axis and the first bobbin support axis are disposed coaxially when the support mechanism maintains the angle between the holder axis and the lift axis at the second angle. a bobbin support member that supports a bobbin with a first bobbin support axis extending in parallel to a vertical axis arranged at a center of the bobbin; a bobbin transport member that supports the bobbin with a second bobbin support axis that is disposed at a position shifted from the first bobbin support axis in a horizontal direction and arranged at the center of the bobbin; a bobbin holder that holds the bobbin with a holder axis arranged at the center of the bobbin; a doffing bar that supports the bobbin holder; a lifting mechanism that moves the doffing bar upward and downward in a direction parallel to a lift axis; and a tilting mechanism that tilts the entire lifting mechanism relative to the vertical axis, characterized in that a support mechanism supporting the bobbin holder via the doffing bar is provided between the lifting mechanism and the doffing bar, the support mechanism includes a position changing mechanism that changes a position of the bobbin holder so that an angle between the holder axis and the lift axis is set at at least two different angles, the support mechanism maintaining the angle between the holder axis and the lift axis at a first angle when the lift axis is arranged in parallel to the second bobbin support axis, and the support mechanism maintaining the angle between the holder axis and the lift axis at a second angle that is greater than the first angle when the lift axis of the lifting mechanism is tilted relative to the second bobbin support axis by the tilting mechanism, the holder axis and the second bobbin support axis are disposed coaxially when the support mechanism maintains the angle between the holder axis and the lift axis at the first angle, and the holder axis and the first bobbin support axis are disposed coaxially when the support mechanism maintains the angle between the holder axis and the lift axis at the second angle.
