Bobbin conveyor with vertical and horizontal runs includes turning section with conveyor stabilizing roller to resist transverse forces
A conveyor (24) has a transverse diverting section (38) in the guide slot (36) for the bobbin carriers (32) so that the bobbins (18,18') are clear of each other as they rotate from the vertical to the horizontal section. To resist the transverse forces (F) a passive stabilizing device, e.g. a roller (56) with a high friction surface, is provided.
