First Claim
Patent Images
1. In winding apparatus of the type having driving means for operating a pump, winding means responsive to said driving means for winding material in a coil on a spool, a displacement control valve for varying the speed of said winding means, a swinging arm adapted to contact the outer surface of said coil and to be movable therewith as the diameter of said coil increases, and a rotating shaft non-rotatably affixed to said arm, the improvement, in combination therewith, comprising:
- (a) lever means non-coaxially attached to said shaft;
(b) slide means adjustably connected to said lever means;
(c) speed control means operatively connected between said slide means and said displacement control valve;
(d) means for adjusting the length of said speed control means;
(e) a frictional dampening clutch attached to said shaft; and
(f) adjustable sensing means activated by the rotation of said shaft,whereby a constant linear winding speed of said material may be maintained.
