Patent number: 4736605Abstract: The device serves to control the desired lifting and pressure-containing movements of strip pressure rolls for the reels which serve to store hot rolled strip. These reels have a rotating mandrel. The pressure rolls are actuated by piston and cylinder units for positioning the rolls electro-hydraulically in conformity with signals which indicate the relative position of the leading strip edge which rotates with the mandrel. The positioning of the roll, by the lifting and pressure-contacting movements, is effectd by position control with subordinated pressure control in a closed-circuit position control loop and a closed-circuit pressure control loop, by input of a setpoint position value which corresponds to the respectively prevailing pressure-contacting and lifting position of the pressure rolls, and by establishment of limited setpoint pressure values for both functions or directions of movement.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1986Date of Patent: April 12, 1988Assignee: SMS Schloemann-Siemag AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jurgen Klockner, Dieter Rosenthal

Patent number: 4682486Abstract: The soft magnetic properties of amorphous alloy toroids is improved by turning under tension an amorphous alloy ribbon onto itself to form a winding having a preselected number of turns such that the radially acting compressive stress is minimized. In one embodiment, the radially acting compressive stress is locally minimized by using such a toroid pole-piece geometry that the windings have as little an area of curvature as is possible. In another embodiment, the radially acting compressive stress is globally minimized by turning the ribbon onto itself such that successive turns of the winding are wrapped with progressively less tension.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1981Date of Patent: July 28, 1987Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Fred Luborsky, Daeyong Lee

Patent number: 4669679Abstract: A continuous, high speed process for cutting a length of wire into wire segments and for forming these segments into coils includes the steps of continuously pushing the wire through a cutter at a constant speed, cutting the wire into a succession of wire segments, and directing the segments, in sequence and at the constant speed, to coilers, where they are coiled "on the fly". When a wire segment is completely wound, it is automatically removed from the coiler, whereby the coiler is empty and ready to receive another segment. While one coiler is coiling one of the wire segments, the next segment is directed to a different coiler which is empty. This allows continuous high speed movement of segments through the cutting and coiling process, with no space between the tail end of one segment and lead end of the next segment. Process efficiencies are substantial, and reduce the cost of the coiled wire products.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1985Date of Patent: June 2, 1987Assignee: Essex Group, Inc.Inventor: Christopher Pali

Patent number: 4664329Abstract: A process for winding a wire segment to form a wire coil includes the steps of rotating a mandrel by contacting the mandrel outer surface with a moving belt, and directing the wire onto the rotating mandrel between the belt and the mandrel outer surface. The belt holds the wire against the mandrel, and as the mandrel rotates, the wire is wound into a coil on the mandrel outer surface. The belt continues to contact the coil outer surface and to rotate the mandrel until the entire length of the wire segment is wound. As the thickness of the coil increases, the belt partially unwraps from the coil outer surface to adjust belt tension. In one embodiment of the present invention, the belt passes around a pulley attached to a rotatable ring which moves the pulley in a circular path about the axis of the mandrel to cause the belt to unwrap from the coil as the wire builds up on the mandrel.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1985Date of Patent: May 12, 1987Assignee: Essex Group, Inc.Inventor: Christopher Pali

Patent number: 4635457Abstract: A double-layer coil for an electric motor is formed of a single continuous conductor with the two layers being wound simultaneously. A first length of conductor is wound about a pulley to form a coil and at the end of that coil but without breaking the conductor another coil is commenced to be wound about a rotating bobbin, with the coil of the first length wound on the pulley being caused to orbit the bobbin at a rate twice the bobbin rotation speed, whereby the conductor coil is unwound from the pulley and rewound on the bobbin at and the same time a further conductor is being wound about the bobbin to form a second coil, thereby forming both layers of the coil simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1985Date of Patent: January 13, 1987Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takayuki Ishii, Yuji Yamauchi

Patent number: 4184350Abstract: A high production method and apparatus which utilizes ribbon-like resistance wire to produce spiral wound electrical heating coils as used in cigar lighters, ignitor plugs and the like. Nesting of adjoining convolutions, if desired, can be effected by first imparting a transverse, ribbed configuration to the ribbon prior to the winding of the same into the spiral coil. In accomplishing this transverse configuring, cooperable male and female rolls, turning in opposite directions, form the ribbon and simultaneously cut it into lengths at a high production rate. After an annealing process, the cut strips of ribbon are fed to a coiling machine which has a notched arbor that receives end portions of the strips and coils the latter into a spiral shape while restraint is imposed on the strips. The feeding, confining, winding and ejection procedures involving the strips are automatically, sequentially carried out at a high production rate.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 1978Date of Patent: January 22, 1980Assignee: Sun Chemical CorporationInventor: Laurence G.

Patent number: 4048829Abstract: This invention is concerned with apparatus for manufacturing spirally wound gaskets. The apparatus includes a pair of co-planar radially movable forming discs and independently mounted and axially adjustable guide members. The apparatus may be used either for winding gasket forming material tightly around one forming disc, or adapted for centerless winding where gasket forming material is wound in a loop around one forming disc.
