Abstract
A rotatable assembly is rotatably mounted on a stationary assembly. The stationary assembly guides a conductor wire, or the like, to a wrapping station, the rotatable assembly applying glue or other adhesive to a portion of a wrapping tape which is wrapped around the conductor wire at the wrapping station. The glue is applied to the wrapping tape by supplying it to a receptacle in the rotatable assembly, from which it is forced out through a hole by centrifugal force. The receptacle is of conical shape so that the centrifugal force acting on the glue will have a component thereof forcing the glue up toward the hole, and out therefrom.
Claims15
An apparatus for gluing a wrapping tape on an elongate article comprising:
- means for continuously feeding an elongate article through tubular means;
- a stationary assembly coaxial with said tubular means;
- a rotatable assembly rotatable about said stationary assembly;
- means for rotatably mounting said rotatable assembly on said stationary assembly;
- and means for supplying glue or other adhesive to said stationary assembly, said stationary assembly having means for feeding the adhesive to said rotatable assembly, said rotatable assembly having means for receiving the adhesive from said stationary means and having means for coating a strip of the adhesive onto a portion of a wrapping tape and rotatable means for wrapping the coated tape onto said elongate article.
