(54) WINDING DEVICE FOR WIRE MATERIAL WITH RECTANGULAR SECTION


(57) Wire winding is performed while a guide member (7) is regulating a winding position of a regular-square wire (W) (for example, while moving the wire member in an axial direction in accordance with the number of winding (turns) of the rectangular cross section wire member) such that a side surface of the regular-square wire (W) already wound on an outer periphery of a cylindrical part (4a) of a bobbin (4) closely adheres to a side surface of the regular-square wire (W) about to be wound. Thus, it is possible to form a coil having an excellent characteristic by winding the regular-square wire (W) on the bobbin (4) without making a gap.
