Description

[0047] In the following, preferred exemplary embodiments are described in more detail with reference to figures, showing schematically and by way of example:

[0048] FIG. 1 a schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of a machine head of a textile machine;

[0049] FIG. 2 a schematic representation of a section of a preferred embodiment of a tube magazine, and

[0050] FIG. 3 a schematic representation of a section of a further preferred embodiment of a tube magazine.

[0051] The same reference signs are used for elements and structures having the same effect and/or of the same type.

[0052] FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a machine head 10 of a textile machine 100. A machine head 10 forms in particular an end face of the textile machine 100, on which working regions (not shown) are arranged in a known manner.

[0053] A tube magazine 14 is assigned to the machine head 10. The assignment can in particular be formed by arranging the tube magazine 14 in this machine head 10. A housing 12 can be formed in order to arrange a tube magazine 14 therein. The textile machine 100 or the machine head 10 are arranged on a base 24. As a result, stability is particularly imparted to the structure.

[0054] The tube magazine 14 for the textile machine 100 has in particular a plurality of holding devices 18 for bobbin tubes (not shown). At least one marking device 16 can be provided. This marking device 16 can be designed and arranged to be assigned to a plane between at least two holding devices 18. This plane lies here, for example, as an imaginary plane between the holding devices 18. The holding devices 18 are designed here as attachment mandrels 19, as shown in detail in FIG. 2. The assignment can particularly be such that each of the at least two holding devices 18 is assigned to one region 40.

[0055] The marking devices 16 are in particular designed to extend in a vertical direction between a row of holding devices 18. The marking device 16 extends in particular over the entire height of the tube magazine 14 and is thus designed in particular in such a way that it projects into a field of vision of an operator (not shown) at an arrangement height.

[0056] Two types of marking devices 16 are shown in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. These can be used together (as shown here) or separately. These can be a flexible marking device 11 or a rigid marking device 17. Both types of marking devices 11, 17 can be inserted into holders 36 in the tube magazine 14. These holders 36 can be adapted to the marking device 16. Insertion can involve clamping, in particular in the case of the flexible marking devices 11. The rigid marking devices 17 can be inserted, plugged and/or screwed into the holder 36. Examples of marking devices 16 can be a band, in particular an expander, a bar, a chain, a rod and/or a metal sheet, in particular a partition wall.

[0057] The marking device 16 can have an indicator (not shown), in particular a color coding, which corresponds to an indicator (not shown), in particular a color coding, which is assigned to a type of bobbin tube to be arranged in at least one of the regions 40. The corresponding indicator, in particular the corresponding color coding, can point in the direction of the respective region 40 of the tube magazine 14 in which the bobbin tubes with a corresponding indicator are to be arranged.

[0058] FIG. 2 shows in particular in a schematic representation a section of an embodiment of a tube magazine 14. Attachment mandrels 19 are arranged in rows on a chain 26 as a holding device 18, as shown in further detail in FIG. 3. A chain 26 is formed in particular from a series of chain links 25 that can be tilted from one another. FIG. 2 in particular shows a row of vertically extending chains 26 which are arranged next to one another in order to arrange the attachment mandrels 19 as holding devices 18 in the tube magazine 14. FIG. 3 shows in particular a section of an embodiment of a tube magazine 14 with which a portion of the chains 26 is hidden in order to explain the functionality. The chains 26 run in particular over deflection rollers (not shown). The deflection rollers are mechanically connected to a motor 30 via a belt 32 in order to be able to set the chains 26 in motion. As a result, bobbin tubes can in particular be resupplied, if necessary, in a working region (not shown) of the textile machine 100. The overall structure can be stabilized by support structures 27 and cross struts 28.

[0059] A tube magazine 14 as described here and elsewhere can be used in a textile machine 100 and/or in a machine head 10 in order to assign each of at least two bobbin tubes of two types of bobbin tube to a region 40 using a marking device 16. The regions 40 are in particular marked by a marking device 16. The marking device 16 is in particular designed and arranged to be assigned to a plane between the at least two holding devices 18 in such a way that the at least two holding devices 18 are each assigned to a region 40.

[0060] Can in particular refers to optional features of the invention. Accordingly, there are also developments and/or exemplary embodiments of the invention which additionally or alternatively have the respective feature or the respective features.

[0061] From the combinations of features disclosed in the present case, isolated features can also be taken as needed and used by resolving a structural and/or functional relationship possibly existing between the features in combination with other features for delimiting the subject matter of the claim.
