<p>03-AO-5427 FLYER METHOD AND APPARATUS The flyer mechanism includes a readily adjustable wire tensioning mechanism which is repeatably settable so that varying degrees of tension may be applied to the wire along the flyer arm. Centrifugal action is used to transfer wire flutter from a region near the coil form to a fluttering loop of wire between the tensioning mechanism and the flyer nozzle. The tensioning means are usable singly or in combination with a wire guide to control the size of the centrifugally generated loop. The flyer discharge nozzle may, in effect, be "free floating" and the attitude of each nozzle is controlled by the strand of wire extending between the form means and such nozzle. With this arrangement, the previously mentioned fluttering loop can have a maximum affect on the tension of the wire extending between the form means and nozzle. All of the features disclosed are operable for either direction of flyer rotation.</p> |
