ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus is provided for handling bobbins and particu- larly for transferring bobbins from one location to another. The apparatus includes a cart having parallel linkages pivotally mounted theron and connected to a fluid-operated ram. A bobbin- engaging unit is carried at the ends of the linkages and engages the bobbin internally. After engagement, the linkages are manipulated to transfer the bobbin to another location with the weight of the bobbin and mechanism being offset by the fluid- operated cylinder. The cart is designed to be attached to a portable bobbin buggy so that both can then be pushed as a unit to move the buggy to a desired location from which the bobbins are transferred to a creel or rack, for example. This invention relates to apparatus for handling bobbins or the like and for transferring them from one location to another. Bobbins or spools of filaments, strands, threads, yarn, roving, and the like produced in textile mills often weigh 25-30 lbs. or more with some being in the order of 100 lbs. It is tiring for workers to handle a multiplicity of such bobbins over the course of a day. Also, the bobbins may be mishandled and damaged, parti- culary by a tired worker, and moisture from the hands may be damaging to the filaments, etc.
