Device for simultaneously traversing thread guides of a winding apparatus for taking up a plurality of threads

摘要

In a winding apparatus for simultaneously taking up a plurality of threads, comprising a common friction roller, a traverse device provided with a common cylindrical traverse cam rotatably disposed at a position adjacent to said friction roller, a cam box holding the traverse cam therein and a pair of guide rails secured to said cam box for guiding a plurality of thread guides therealong, the cam box is supported in a condition such that it is capable of turning about the longitudinal axis of the traverse cam from a normal working position where the guide rails are positioned at a side of the friction roller to a predetermined position opposite the friction roller with respect to the longitudinal axis of the traverse cam. The cam box is stably held at the normal working position or at the above-mentioned predetermined position alternatively.
