Abstract
A device for continuously storing a length of wire to cause it to remain wound for a predetermined period of time found necessary for treatment thereof, wherein two winding drums are provided upon which the wire is wound in series, leaving an intermediate slackened wire portion therebetween, and the ratio of the rotational speed of the two drums is controlled so as to maintain a constant storing amount of the wire or, preferably, to maintain the intermediate slackened portion of the wire constant.
Claims10
A device for continuously treating wire comprising:
- a first freely rotatable drum for winding said wire thereon;
- a second drum for winding said wire thereon being freely rotatable independently of said first drum;
- means for rotating the first and second drums relative to each other;
- means for guiding a portion of said wire stretched between said first and second drums;
- means for detecting the slackening of said wire portion stretched between said first and second drums;
- means responsive to said detecting means for adjusting the slackening of said wire portion stretched between said first and second drums;
- and
- means for controlling the relative rotations of said first and second drums.
