Title: Improvements in or relating to coil winding machines
Inventor: LAWRENCE GEORGE
IPC: H01F41/08
Filed: 1963-07-17
Abstract: 965,742. Winding toroidal cores. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. July 17, 1963, No. 28301/63. Heading B3E. A method of winding a coil on to a toroidal core comprises passing the wire from side to side through a hole in said core by a threading device which can convey the wire being wound through said hole and turning the core being wound through half a turn between each pair of successive passages of the wire through said hole, each such half turn producing a single turn on the core. A wire to be wound on a toroidal core is attached at one end to a terminal on the core, Fig. 1a. A threading device then moves from one side through the core, the wire is put in the threading device, Fig. 1b, which then withdraws through the core, Fig. 1c. The core is then turned 180 degrees, Fig. 1e, to produce a single turn on the core which is tightened by movement of the threading device Fig. 1f. A second threading device is then moved through the core from the other side, takes the wire from the first threading device and withdraws it through the core, Fig. 1h, which is then turned 180 degrees to form another turn on the core. The operation continues until the required number of turns have been wound when the end of the wire is fastened to a further terminal. The winding may alternatively be effected by a single threading device which is turned over after each turn of the coil has been wound. Apparatus for use in carrying out the method may include, Fig. 3, a jig 2 to to receive the core, which is rotated by a knob 3, each half rotation being counted by means 4. The threading devices include means 13 protected by spring-urged holders 11, 12 and carried by slides 6, 8, the rims of the holders abutting against the core to allow the means 13 to move therethrough. Needles could be used for the threading. The machine may be automatically operated. Specification 948,841 is referred to.
