Abstract
In a winding apparatus for endless threads, a revolving disc (6) has at least two clamping chucks (8, 10) rotatably supported on the periphery thereof. A friction roll (2), the shaft (4) of which as well as the shaft (12) of the revolving disc (6) are mounted in a frame (14) at fixed locations. The shaft (12) is connected to a first drive device (120) and the first shaft (4) is connected to a second drive device (40). Each clamping chuck (8, 10) is provided with its own third drive device (80), and fourth drive device (100) respectively.
