1. A bobbin transporting apparatus in which a spinning frame and a winder are interconnected directly to each other by means of a cop transporting path and a bobbin transporting path, comprising:
- a transporting conveyor belt for conveying said bobbins in a substantially vertical direction along a first portion of said bobbin transporting path and in a substantially horizontal direction along a second portion of said bobbin transporting path;
a support member on which said conveyor belt is supported;
a cover which covers over said conveyor belt;
a support rod; and
a mounting member for mounting said support member on said support rod, said support member having two guide sections for guiding said conveyor belt, and having recessed grooves formed in opposite sides thereof and adapted to be engaged by said mounting member to mount said support member on said mounting member.
