page_text: WINDING AND COILING APPARATUS.
Lysaght's Invention of Improvements in means or apparatus for winding and
coiling wire netting generally.
The invention has for its object improvements in means of Winding & Coiling
Wire netting with a regular and constant movement by which means rolls of
netting are more equally wound and rolled.
For this purpose we employ a hollow tube roller with suitable bearings fitted to
frames or standards fixed on a base of convenient form with movable levers and
roller attached and by means of weights to allow for adjustment as required, the
object of the said rollers is to wind equally and perfectly rolls of netting or articles
wound or coiled in the said apparatus by means of Pullies, Pinion and Gear wheels,
the said apparatus has a regular and constant motion.
In order that our Invention may be more clearly understood and readily carried
into effect we will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings more fully to
describe the same.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the said winding and coiling apparatus shewing
the relative positions of the working parts constructed according to my invention.
Figure 2 is a plan of the said apparatus.
Figure 3 is a vertical section or view taken on the line o. o. shewing the various
parts of the whole apparatus.
A. A. is a hollow tube roller (with a long slot to receive the end of the articles
to be wound) fitted with suitable bearings to allow it to be readily removed,
with a gear wheel B B on one end of the said tube roller; CC is a bearing to
carry a revolving shaft fitted with a pair of Pullies, D D on one end and a
pinion E E fitted on the other end of the said shaft which gives motion to the
tube roller by means of the gear wheel BB; F F are levers fitted with a tube
roller G G and suitable bearings, which said levers are fitted with suitable joints

page_text: connected to the frames or standards to allow the roller G G to be brought into
contact with the roller A. A as shown by ticked lines on Fig. 3. HH are suitable
weights attached to the said apparatus by means of roda, J. J. easily removed as
required which said levers roller rods and weights give the required tension for
winding and coiling wire netting and other articles equally and perfectly in the
said apparatus.
Having thus described the nature of our Invention and the manner in which we
carry the same into effect we would have it understood that we do not confine
ourselves to the precise details herein shewn and described but what we do claim is,
the novel combinations and arrangements of means or apparatus for winding and
coiling generally substantially as herein shewn and described.

page_text: tube A. A is then made to rotate by means of the driving gear, viz:-the pullies D. D.;
the revolving shaft, the pinion E. E., and the gear wheel attached to the said tube
roller. The pressure given by the weights H. H. and the levers F F remains con-
stant owing to their being selfadjusting, and is readily adapted to the increasing
volume of the material being wound for the same reason. After the required
quantity of material has been wound the pressure is taken off, the bearings
removed and the tube A. A is taken away from the apparatus, and withdrawn
from the material which envelopes it, for which purpose the slot is continued to
the end of the tube.
Having thus described the nature of our invention, and the manner in which
we carry the same into effect we would have it understood that we do not confine
ourselves to the precise details herein shewn and described, but what we do claim
is the novel combinations and arrangements of means or apparatus for winding
and coiling, generally substantially as herein shewn and described.
