Abstract: A winding machine for forming rolls of tape used for wrapping the legs of horses, and the like includes a shaft mountable by a collar to the drive shaft of an electric motor, and the like, for rotation by the drive shaft, and having associated with the shaft a guide strip also mounted on the collar and arranged extending substantially parallel, although spaced from, the shaft in order to form a gap which receives the end of a tape wrapped around the shaft and guide strip. A disc is slidably mounted on the shaft and guide strip for forming an end guide for the roll being formed, as well as facilitating removal of a completed roll from the shaft and guide strip.
