<p>In an apparatus (54), for forming a row of zigzag coupling elements (53), a winding unit (8) includes a guide plate (11) having a guide hole (7) through which a monofilament (48) is supplied onto a periphery (2) of a continuously rotating die wheel (1). The guide plate (11) is driven by two separate drive mechanisms (9), (10) for lateral reciprocating movement and tangential reciprocating movement, respectively, of the die wheel periphery (2) so that the guide hole (7) traces an inverted figure-eight curve to thereby wind the monofilament (48) alternately around a pair of row of circumferentially staggered pins (3), (4) on the die wheel periphery (2).</p> |
