ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for forming a long leading end in a wire wound on a reel in a winding machine comprising at least one power driven shaft for rotating a reel and a shifting flange positioned at one side of said reel. The shifting flange is provided with means for gripping the leading end of the wire when starting the winding of the wire on said reel. The apparatus comprises a gear mechanism coupled between the reel shaft (11) and the shifting flange (7) which gear mechanism rotates said shifting flange with a rotation speed lower than the rotation speed of the reel. The gear mechanism is provided with coupling means (17) for selectively connecting and disconnecting said gear mechanism and the shifting flange is coupled by means of a friction clutch so that said shifting flange slides on the reel shaft when the gear mechanism is connected but is driven by said reel shaft when the gear mechanism is disconnected. The gear mechanism is connected under a predetermined number of revolutions of the reel at the beginning of the winding on the reel in order to wind the leading end of the wire as one or several loops considerably larger than the wire windings on the reel and thereby to obtain a long free leading end in the wire wound on the reel.
