Abstract
An apparatus for winding lines, wherein a winding drum is fixed on one end of a rotary shaft while a disc made of an elastic material is fixed on the other end of said shaft, a supporting member is disposed confronting said disc at a fixed distance, a driving member to rotate the center shaft of said supporting member is installed, and rollers which are rotatably installed on said supporting member are in pressure contact with the circumference of the disc.
Claims2
Apparatus for applying torque to a winding drum, comprising:
- a rotary winding drum;
- a driven member axially displaced from and rotatably fixed relative to the drum, said driven member having a circular surface portion;
- a rotary driving member supported for rotation independently of said drum and driven member and rotatable about an axis coaxial with said driven member;
- and rollers carried by said driving member at fixed locations on the driving member and rotatable about individual axes, said fixed loactions being radially outward of the axis of rotation of the driving member and each roller being firmly pressed into engagement against said circular surface portion of the driven member, at least one of the engaging surfaces of the driven member and the rollers being of an elastic material.
