ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus for taking up a relatively thicker wire such as an electric wire or an electric cable on a reel, comprising a distributor for distributing said wire along the axis of said reel, wire raising up detecting means is provided which electrically detects that a first turn of a new winding layer of said wire is being raised up on the reel adjacent to either of the flanges of said reel, so that it produces an electric signal to instruct said distributor to move in a reverse direction. The detecting means is characterized to comprise at least two adjacent arms pivotally mounted on a fixed axis parallel to the axis of said reel to be engaged against the wire wound on said reel; and an angular-electro converter to convert the angle at which said arms are pivotally moved relative to each other into an electric signal having the amplitude proportional to the angle.
