Device for producing curved strips, in particular, curved, flat composite cables

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for producing curved strips, in particular, curved, flat composite cables. Said device consists of a draw-off device comprising rotating clamping elements with a variable peripheral speed, which is located downstream of a loom. The take-off device consists of two discs (S, S′), at least one (S, S′) of which being driven, whose rotational axis lies preferably perpendicular to the plane of the individual cables (K). The device is characterised in that at least one radially positioned retaining element (N) is provided which can be displaced in opposition to the discs (S, S′). Said discs (S, S′) can be preferably displaced on the plane of the individual cables (K) in a perpendicular direction in relation to the latter. The retaining element is located so that it can pivot within the rotational axis of the discs. For practical purposes, the pivoting angle is at least 180°. Different radii of curvature are achieved for the composite cables by a lateral displacement of the disc assembly (S, S′), which causes the individual cables emerging from the loom (K) to be drawn off on different radii of the discs.
