CONTINUOUS TAKE-UP APPARATUS FOR A LINEAR PRODUCT

摘要

A wire take-up apparatus having a V-shaped frame rockable about an axis by a fluid-operated cylinder. The frame has a pair of legs on which wire take-up reels are supported for rotation about parallel axes and driven by motors. Wire guiding traverser and wire shifting rod are provided to shift the wire axially beyond one end of the reels when one reel is almost full of wire. Discs having thereon claws are provided adjacent said one ends of the reels for rotation therewith. The claws engage and arrest the shifted wire on another empty reel to change-over winding-up of wire from the full reel to the empty reel.
