IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDING AND PREPARING WIRE
Year: 1885

Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
WINDING AND PREPARING WIRE to be as follows:-
My Invention relates to an improved method of winding wire on to a reel or
shape so as to form a coil which can be readily removed and placed on suitable
receptacles from which it is to be used It is more particularly intended to apply
this to a machine for which I have obtained Letters Patent No. 3018 (1883) but
it may be also applied to other purposes in which continuous wire is used.
To carry out my Invention I employ a reel or shape with flanged sides which is
made in two pieces opening between the flanges and secured together to allow of
easy opening.. Around the circumference of this I provide any number of radiating
slots which extend through the flanges and below the surface on which the wire is
to be wound-When a sufficient quantity of wire has been wound on this I intro-
duce pieces of string wire or other suitable binding material through the slots and
secure them tightly round the coil-The reel or shape may then be opened and the
coil of wire removed preserving its form and regularity The coils thus produced
may at any time be placed on receptacles for use, of a similar shape opening in
balves but without the slots. When the binding material is removed or severed
the wire can be unwound readily and regularly.
By means of my invention coils of wire are prepared either by the manufacturer
or otherwise in such a manner that they may be always ready for placing on reels
of the necessary form, and when so placed have the same regularity as if they had
been wound on.

Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
WINDING AND PREPARING WIRE and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My Invention relates to an improved method of winding wire on to a reel or
shape so as to form a coil which can be readily removed and placed on suitable
receptacles from which it is to be used. It is more particularly intended to apply
this to a machine for which I have obtained letters patent, 301883 but it may be
also applied to other purposes in which continuous wire is used.
In order to make my invention understood I will more particularly describe the
same referring to the drawings annexed, the letters corresponding to the parts
indicated.
Figures 1 and 2 are respectively a sectional and side elevation of the reel or
shape on which the wire is to be wound in the first place either in course of
manufacture or as is convenient, and consists of two parts A and B which are
secured together by bolts C or other means to enable them to be opened to reiiovë
the wound wire; around the periphery or circumference I provide a nuniber of
radiating slots D extending below the surface d on which the wire is wound.
After a sufficient quantity is wound on a number of pieces of wire, string or
other suita le material E are introduced respectively through the radiating slots
and secured together round the coil-The reel or shape being then opened by the
removal of the part B allows the bundle of wire to be taken off preserving its form
and regularity.-Fresh wire can then be wound on in a similar manner-a bundle
of wire wound according to my invention being shewn at F.
The coils thus produced may at any time be placed on receptacles for use of the
same shape made to open in a similar manner, and the binding material being
severed, the wire can be unwound readily and regularly enabling any desired
tension to be applied to the unwinding of the wire without entangling.
I do not confine myself to the shape shewn in 1 and 2 but other sections may
be employed, some examples of which being shewn in Figures 4-5 and 6.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is-
Winding wire on a reel or shape in the manner hereinbefore described and
producing bundles or coils which are ready for immediate use when put on reels
of a similar shape and have the same regularity as if they had been wound on
same.
