ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a wire forcing device on a distributor of a wire take up apparatus to take up a wire such as an electric cable on a reel in an arranged manner. The wire forcing device has wire engaging means to force a first turn of a wire winding layer against either end of the reel. The wire engaging means may comprise a pair of guide members of the distributor, or may be separate from the guide members. If the wire engaging means comprises the guide members of the distributor, while the wire is taken up on the reel between the flanges thereof, the wire engaging means guides the wire for transversely distributing the wire, and just before a first turn of a new winding layer begins to be wound adjacent to either of the reel flanges or while the first turn of the new winding layer is wound, either of the guide members forces the wire against the corresponding reel flange. If the wire engaging means is separate from the guide members of the distributor, just before the first turn of the new winding layer begins to be wound or while it is being wound, the wire engaging means is advanced so that it forces the wire against either of the reel flanges with the wire held between the wire engaging means and the reel flange. While the wire is normally wound, the wire engaging means is retracted from the reel flanges.
