DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a method for spooling a strip of wires, placed next to each other on a reel, whereby the reel consists of a core and two flanges.
The spooling of a strip or band of wires, placed next to each other, is now usually done by fixing the leading end of the strip to the core of the reel by means of strips of adhesive tape. Such a strip or band of wires, placed next to each other, is e.g. described in the Belgian patent no. 796.955 of applicant N. V. BEKAERT S. A. Such a strip can e.g. consist of 100 to 200 wires, placed next to each other, in which the wires show an almost rectangular cross section.
The wires are preferably held together with glue.
A first disadvantage of the present method for fixing the leading end of the strip of wires placed next to each other, to the core of the reel, is that it is necessary to fix the beginning of it by means of strips of adhesive tape, which is rather cumbersome and timewasting. Besides, this method requires the use of adhesive tape.
A second disadvantage of the present method is that the extremities of the wires, placed next to each other, form a very sharp extremity. When spooling and paying off the strip of wires, placed next to each other on the core of the reel, this sharp extremity can damage the adjoining windings.
The object of the invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages.
For this purpose the invention learns, in case of a method of the type mentioned in the beginning, that a reel is taken, of which the core is provided with at least one cross groove, that the leading end of the strip of wires placed next to each other is placed into the cross groove, and that next, the spooling of the successive windings of the strip on the reel is continued.
An advantage of the method according to the invention is, that it is no longer necessary to fasten the leading end of the strip to the core of the reel by means of adhesive tape.
Another important advantage of the method, according to the invention, is that the sharp leading end of the strip of wires, placed next to each other, is completely taken up in the core, through which the cutting effect of it on the other successive windings is completely eliminated.
Preferably a reel, of which the core consists of a number of almost identical parts and whereby a cross groove is formed each time between each pair of adjoining core parts, is taken.
The invention will be further illustrated in the following description, on the basis of the corresponding drawing. In the drawing are shown:
FIG. 1 in perspective, part of a strip of wires, placed next to each other;
FIG. 2 in perspective, the fixing of the beginning of the wires, placed next to each other, to the core of the reel, and
FIG. 3 in perspective, the placing of the core parts to a flange of the reel.
FIG. 1 shows in perspective part of a strip 1 of wires 2 placed next to each other. The width of the strip or band 1 can e.g. vary from 100 to 200 mm. The strip 1 consists e.g. of 100 to 200 steel wires placed next to each other. in which the steel wires present an almost rectangular cross section. The dimensions of the rectangular cross section of each wire are e.g. 0.95 mm to 0.64 mm. The wires 2 are preferably glued to each other. Such strips of glued steel wires are used in particular for the making of staples. As already mentioned, such a band or strip 1 of steel wires is already described in the Belgian patent no. 796.955 of applicant N. V. BEKAERT S. A.
FIG. 2 shows in perspective how the leading end of the strip 1 of the steel wires 2 placed next to each other is being fixed to the core 3 of the reel 4. For this purpose, a reel or spool 4 is taken, of which the core 3 is at least provided with one cross groove 5, and the beginning of the strip 1 is placed into the cross groove 5. Preferably, the cross groove 5 extends to the distance between the two flanges 6 of the reel 4, and the width of the strip is a little smaller than the distance between the flanges 6. After the fixing of the leading end of the strip 1, the successive win
