To prevent empty bobbins from falling in a bobbin holder even if the continuous movement amount of peg tray is increased equal to or more than the number of bobbins corresponding to the limit width of a space behind an empty bobbin line in a bobbin holder in which empty bobbin falls occur.

A first and a second transportation apparatuses reciprocate a transport rail and transport peg trays 4 pitches at a time. Both the transportation apparatuses are connected at a first and a second joint parts and a bobbin holder 29 which holds empty bobbins in one line and to which empty bobbins E are sent through a shooter 28 from the rear upper part is arranged in the middle of the second joint part. The empty bobbins held in one line in the bobbin holder 29 are inserted into the pegs 12b of the peg trays 12 moving under the empty bobbin E at the head of the line and taken out from the bobbin holder 29. Before the spaces S existing behind the empty line of the bobbin holder 29 reach a limit width in which empty bobbin E fall sent from the shooter 28 occur, the empty bobbins E are sent to the bobbin holder 29.
