  • the time required to complete the roving piecing operation when changing the almost exhausted roving bobbins for the full packaged roving bobbins can be remarkably reduced, i.e., the above roving bobbin exchange operation can be carried out within a remarkably shorter time than in the conventional method, the working efficiency of the spinning frame can be remarkably improved. This is very advantageous when producing a coarse yarn.
  • the supplemental rovings S2 are taken from the respective full packaged roving bobbins F of a bobbin carriage supported by a transporting rail of the spinning frame and held at the respective positions close to the corresponding rovings S1, which are supplied to the corresponding draft parts 30, before the roving bobbins S reach an almost exhausted condition, and accordingly, the time necessary to complete the operation of taking the supplemental rovings S2 from the respective full packaged roving bobbins F and carrying out the roving piecing operation is variable, and thus the roving bobbin exchange operation can be carried out under very free conditions in comparison with the conventional method.
