Device for covering stranding elements

In a device for covering stranded elements with a retaining spiral, said device having a stationary support tube and means for applying the retaining spiral including a rotatable spinning member arranged on said stationary support tube with the elements to be stranded being passed through the inside of said support tube, the improvements comprising a first outer tube and said spinning member being carried on said first outer tube, said first outer tube being concentrically supported for rotation on the stationary support tube, said device includes means for SZ stranding of the elements including a pipe store mounted for rotation coaxially to and inside of the stationary support tube with at least a portion of the pipe store extending into the support tube and an exit end of the pipe store being disposed adjacent a first end of the support tube, a bearing and a stranding disc being supported by said bearing in the interior of the first outer tube adjacent the first end of the support tube, said disc being removably attached to the exit end of the pipe store, said elements to be stranded being placed on the pipe store and the diameter of the support tube being selected to be large enough to provide sufficient space inside of the support tube for the elements to be stranded to move along the pipe store.
