Abstract
An apparatus (28) facilitates application of one or more strands (24) onto a mandrel (20) which is mounted for rotation. The apparatus (28) includes a frame structure (30) which supports a confining device (46) and a receptacle (48) for receiving opposite ends of the mandrel (20) in a non-gripping manner. The frame structure (30) further supports a guide frame (80) which is positioned for movement along and parallel to the mounted mandrel (20) and which guides the strands (24) onto the rotating mandrel. A pair of strands (24) may be applied to opposite sides of the mandrel (20) to balance pulling forces which result in the mandrel due to tension on the strands. Ends (143) and (145) of a pin (142) extend laterally of the mandrel axis at one end of the mandrel (20) and are insertible into slots (126), (128), (134) and (136) formed in a coupler (116) of the confining device (46) to facilitate mounting of the mandrel with the confining device.
