<p>A method and apparatus for making a coil (9) of pile weatherstrip or the like, comprising a reel (1) on which the coil (9) is formed, the reel being a central discontinuous core or hub (7) and two separable, spaced radially extending side walls (3,5) both of which have a discontinuous external periphery (4) to allow the formed coil (9) to be wrapped with at least one band (15). Preferably, means (10,11) is also provided for feeding the weatherstrip to the coil 9 under little or no compression. The side walls preferably comprise circular plates (3,5) with recesses (4) in their peripheries, to the inner faces of which plates projections formed by arms (7) of L-shaped members are connected to provide the core, the projections on one plate in the assembled reel being angularly offset relative to the projections on the other plate.</p> |
