Abstract: A can or drum changing device for fiber spinning plants in which multi-fiber yarn supplied continuously from a textile finishing machine is fed into cans or drums for intermediate storage. The can or drum which is to be filled is placed on a fixed or movable platform, and the can changing device enables the filled can to be exchanged for an empty one. Both cans or drums are lifted before starting the changing procedure, and both lifting devices have a common pivot so that during the changing procedure, both cans approach each other and are freely suspended without interferring with each other. When the multi-fiber yarn from the textile finishing machine has filled one can, the continuous yarn is then transferred to the juxtaposed empty can, both cans being placed so close together at that time that the yarn cannot drop between them. The filled can is then lifted from the rotary table and the empty can is lowered onto such table.
