Abstract

A multiple winding machine for winding lace bands or similar type fabric material onto cores uses a plurality of cup-like guides through which the lace bands pass. The guides are positioned horizontally and vertically with respect to each other so as to be aligned with a corresponding core onto which the lace band is wound. The guides move transversely in a back-and-forth path so that the lace bands wind on the corresponding cores in a uniform, tightly packed manner. Transfer rollers provide uniform tension to the lace bands while imparting uniform tangentional speed to the cores and lace bands as the lace bands are wound on the cores. A mechanism for determining improper removal of draw threads between adjacent lace bands is also disclosed so as to stop the machine if a faulty removal condition exists.
