摘要

A delivery head assembly for a filament winding device, having an input end for fibrous tows and an output end for applying superimposed layers of the tows in a helical pattern onto a mandrel (18) to produce a generally tubular article having varying contours, in which the delivery head (14) is one of two delivery head assemblies, one comprising an upper distributing (24), feeding, and cutting assembly (32) and a structurally similar lower distributing, feeding, and cutting assembly disposed in inverted relationship to and at a vertical angle to the upper assembly, the two assemblies being juxtaposed at their output ends and spaced apart from each other at their input ends, and each assembly includes a separate set of rollers (16, 88, 92) for adding the cut tow back into the winding band when that tow is again to be applied to the mandrel, is disclosed.
