Aid for starting to wind a belt on a reel

Abstract

An aid for starting to wind a belt, especially a corded belt, on a reel, which is provided with a driving device, with a forked supporting body, which preferably is in two parts and can be moved perpendicularly to the reel axis against the reel core with closed guiding belts which are wrapped partially around the reel core from below and, with clamping of the belt that is to be wound up, are carried along by the driving device.

1 . An aid for starting to wind a belt, especially a corded belt, on a reel, which is provided with a driving device, wherein a forked supporting body ( 8 ,  9 ;  8 ′), which preferably is in two parts and can be moved perpendicularly to the reel axis against the reel core ( 2 ) with closed guiding belts ( 11 ;  11 ′), which are wrapped partially around the reel core ( 2 ) from below and, with clamping of the belt ( 4 ) that is to be wound up, are carried along by the driving device ( 6 ).  
     
     
         2 . The aid for winding of  claim 1 , wherein the guiding belts ( 11 ;  11 ′) are wrapped around the reel core ( 2 ) in C-shaped fashion as far as the vicinity of the upper longitudinal edge ( 13 ) of the reel core ( 2 ).  
     
     
         3 . The aid for winding of claims  1  or  2 , wherein two supporting bodies ( 8 ,  9 ) are provided, which can be moved laterally against the reel core ( 2 ), the guiding belts ( 11 ) of the supporting body ( 8 ), which is the leading supporting body in the direction of rotation of the reel ( 2 ), overlapping those of the trailing supporting body ( 9 ).  
     
     
         4 . The aid for winding of  claim 3 , wherein the supporting bodies ( 8 ,  9 ) have deflection pulleys ( 10 ) for the guiding belts ( 11 ), the deflection pulleys ( 10 ) being distributed on an arc of a circle corresponding to the reel core diameter.  
     
     
         5 . The aid for winding of claims  1  or  2 , wherein a supporting body ( 8 ′), which can be inserted from below or, in the case of H reels, between the drive rolls ( 6 ), about the reel ( 1 ), is provided, the forked arms ( 17 ) of which preferably are provided with a hinged joint ( 18 ,  19 ), which, in the position in which it is in contact with the reel core ( 2 ), lies above the median plane ( 20 ) of the reel.  
     
     
         6 . The winding of  claim 5 , wherein the supporting body ( 8 ′) can be extended upward hydraulically and is disposed in a floor shaft ( 16 ) below the winding-up station.
