Card wire winding tool and method

摘要

The tool of the invention includes a wire packing element which is set in abutment with the side of carding wire being wound onto a carding drum end forces the other side of the wire into abutting fit with the previously wound wrap of wire. While so doing, the tool subjects the portion of wire just received by the drum's surface to numerous impacts while still forcing the aforesaid abutments. It is believed that these impacts alternating with reliefs from the added force causes the wire to shift minutely to attain the stablest configuration which would then not shift during use of the clothed carding cylinder but retain the desired patterning of points through long termed use.
