Abstract:

An apparatus for winding continuous strands of material about rotating cores to form strand packages is provided with primary traversing mechanisms which impart a primary traversing motion to the strands as they are being wound on the packages whereby the strands progress and regress to define a series of bights. A secondary traversing mechanism is provided to impart a secondary traversing motion to the strands relative to the packages to advance the series of bights back and forth across the peripheral face of the packages. The primary traversing mechanisms each comprise a plurality of elongate straight elements which are supported in spaced-apart parallel relationship to define a cylindrical pattern. Each primary traversing mechanism is mounted on its axis of rotation so that the elongate elements extend at an oblique angle relative to the axis of rotation of the traversing mechanism.
