1,016,608. Winding threads on to wire. VILLAMOSIPARI KUTATO INTEZET. Oct. 4, 1962, No. 37622/62. Heading B8G. A method of winding threads around a wire comprises moving the wire axially and causing the threads to run with a rotary motion about the wire in a common direction, the threads being crossed and twisted over each other in pairs at least once during each revolution about the wire. In Fig. 3 the wire 11 is moved continually in the direction of the arrow 15 whilst the threads 12, 14 are wound thereon. The winding is performed by two thread guides 16, 17 such that whilst guide 16 moves along the circle 1 between the points 33 and 23, the thread guide 12 moves along the circle II between the points 34 and 24. Thereafter the shaft 18 is turned through 180 degrees to cross the threads 12 and 14 over and the thread guide 17 now moves along the circle 1 between the points 27 and 31 and the thread guide 16 now moves along the circle II between the points 26 and 32. Thereafter the shaft 18 is turned through a further 180 degrees and the operation is repeated. In Fig. 4 (not shown) the wire 11 again moves continually in the direction of the arrow 15 whilst the threads 12 and 14 are wound thereon. The winding is performed by two diametrically opposed thread guides 16, 17 that rotate in a common circle II. Initially the thread guide 16 moves from point 26 to point 32 and thread guide 17 moves from point 34 to point 24. Thereafter the diametrically opposed thread guides 16, 17 are displaced along the axis of the wire 11 to a setting in which they rotate in a circle I where the thread guide 16 moves from point 33 to point 23 and thread guide 17 moves from point 27 to point 31. The thread guides 16, 17 are then moved back to the location of the circle II and the process is repeated. Each movement of the thread guides 16, 17 along the axis of the wire 11 causes the threads 12, 14 to cross.
