Abstract: A cord winder featuring a number of rotating planetary drums which orbit about a fixed sun drum can be used as a collection and pay-out structure for cord, strands, rope and the like. Orbiting of the planetary drums is assured by a crank or spring motor. During this orbiting the planetary drums are imparted to rotate about their respective axis and simultaneously layer the strand on the sun drum.
