Abstract
A core slip apparatus for winding strips into coils includes a roller sleeve mounted on an arbor. Cores mounted on the sleeve are used to form the coils as the arbor rotates. The roller sleeve prevents friction between the core and the arbor thereby insuring that the winding proceeds properly and is not affected by the weight of the coil.
Claims15
A core slip apparatus for winding a strip of material into a coil comprising:
- an arbor rotating about a longitudinal axis;
- core means for accepting at least a strip for winding;
- supporting means for supporting said core means, said support means being arranged to permit said core means to rotate with respect to said arbor substantially without friction, said support means comprising a plurality of mounting disks, a plurality of rods holding said mounting disks together and an outer perimeter defined by a plurality of bearing means being rotatably mounted on said rods, each bearing means having an axis of rotation radially spaced from said longitudinal axis;
- and
- tensioning means mounted on said support means for applying tension to said strip thereby winding said strip on said core means as said arbor rotates.
An apparatus for winding several strips of material simultaneously into corresponding coils, said apparatus comprising:
- a support frame;
- an arbor mounted on said frame and rotating about a longitudinal axis;
- a roller sleeve secured to said arbor, said roller sleeve having a plurality of mounting disks, a plurality of rods holding said mounting disks together and an outer perimeter with a plurality of bearings mounted on and freely rotatable with respect to said rods, each said bearing having an axis of rotation parallel with and radially spaced from said longitudinal axis;
- core means disposed on said bearings, said core means being provided to wind several strips in parallel;
- and
- tensioning means mounted on said roller sleeve for tensioning said strips whereby said strips are wound on said core means as said arbor rotates.
An apparatus for winding several strips of material simultaneously into corresponding coils, said apparatus comprising:
- a support frame;
- a rotating arbor mounted on said frame;
- a roller sleeve secured to said arbor, said roller sleeve having a plurality of mounting disks, a plurality of rods holding said mounting disks together, and an outer perimeter with a plurality of roller bearings journaled on said rods, said roller bearings being freely rotatable with respect to said roller sleeve;
- core means disposed on said bearings, said core means being provided to wind several strips in parallel;
- and
- tensioning means mounted on said roller sleeve for tensioning said strips whereby said strips are wound on said core means as said arbor rotates.
