ABSTRACT:
A positive, self-orienting traverse apparatus to be used in conjuction with a wire take-up machine for winding wire and the like onto a reel in uniform layers. The traverse apparatus includes a traverse pulley assembly disposed above the take-up reel which is driven along a path parallel to the reel axis of rotation by a reciprocating drive means. The traverse pulley assembly is provided with a traverse pulley which guides the wire onto the take-up reel, and which is mounted to pivot about a vertical axis. A non-traversing input pulley, which is also mounted to pivot about a vertical axis, is provided for guiding wire from a wire source to the traverse pulley. The input pulley is coupled to the traverse pulley by way of a telescoping orientation bar so that the two pulleys remain aligned with one another as the traverse pulley is reciprocated. Wire from the source approaches the input pulley from above (or below) coincident to the input pulley pivot axis and is passed under (or over) the input pulley and across to the traverse pulley. The wire then is passed over the traverse pulley which then guides the wire down to the take-up reel, thereby causing uniform layers to be wound.
