Abstract (en)

[origin: US4674701A] A winding apparatus is proposed enabling a substantially automatic winding on and removal of different winding material on to a two-part winding head. The winding head comprises a first swivellable side flange driven by a stepping motor. The second side flange can be axially displaced and on removal from the first side flange leads to the tapering of the free end of the winding core, so that winding material can be ejected by swivelling the first side flange.
