ABSTRACT:
A winding machine for metal wire including apparatus to protect, for example, a reel or wire wound on a reel should feed wire break during feeding of the reel. The apparatus includes: a support for at least one reel; a motor for driving the reel in rotation; a guiding mechanism including a traversing carriage bearing a pulley for guiding the wire as the wire is wound on the reel; and a protective device, to protect the reel in the event of wire breakage, including two protective plates of arcuate shape extending the entire length of the reel. At least one of the plates is hinged about an axis parallel to that of the reel and is movable between an open position and a closed position in which one of its edges meets a corresponding edge of the other of the plates, the opposite edges of the two plates being spaced from one another so as to define a longitudinal slot between them. The slot is adapted to admit the wire when the protective device is in the closed position, and the protective device further includes a sliding, protective member disposed in the slot. The sliding member is carried by the carriage and has a small opening situated in the plane of the pulley and adapted to admit the wire.
