The subject matter of the invention is a manual multispool cabinet for winding a number of filaments (40, 40a) onto a respective removable transport spool (14, 14a) having a driven main winding shaft (10, 10a) per transport spool (14, 14a), wherein the main winding shaft (10, 10a) is formed for an exactly fitting reception of the transport spool (14, 14a, 214), and wherein the main winding shaft (10, 10a) drives the transport spool (14, 14a). Providing such a manual multispool cabinet that has such an increased filament speed is achieved in that, in addition to the transport spool (14, 14a), a buffer spool (12, 12a) is held on the main winding shaft (10, 10a).

A coiled product, a control installation, computer software product, a coiling machine and method for coiling a coiled product, wherein the coiling tension is settable to an envisaged coiling tension, particularly to a constant coiling tension via either a setting unit and/or a change in the respective rotational speed of either a coil body and/or a supply roll, a characterizing aspect being the equalization of the free length of the coiled product, where the free length is the spacing of the first bearing point of the coiled product on the coil body from the second bearing point of the coiled product on a deflection roller such that the free length change is equalized by the setting unit and/or by a variation of the respective rotational speed so that coiling tension of a product coiled onto the coil body can be set in a simple, rapid, and precise manner.

A winding head (10) for surgical suture material has a securing arm (22) and a guide carriage (24), which is mounted on the securing arm (22). In addition, a circumferential guide system (30) is present, which is mounted displaceably on the guide carriage (24). The circumferential guide system (30) has two first tracks (32, 34) which are spaced apart from each other and are connected to each other by two second tracks (36, 38), which are of approximately semi-circular shape. A transition curve is present in at least one of four transition regions (40, 42, 44, 46) between a first track (32, 34) and a second track (36, 38), which transition curve connects the first track (32, 34) and the second track (36, 38) to each other.

A method, apparatus, and system for winding a filament around a substrate includes mounting the substrate to a rotatable structure and rotating the substrate to wind the first filament around the substrate in a first winding orientation that winds the first filament around a first pair of edges of the substrate to wrap a first filament layer around the substrate. The method further includes changing winding orientations of the first filament from the first winding orientation to a second winding orientation by turning the first filament about a corner of the substrate and winding the first filament around the rotating substrate in the second winding orientation that winds the first filament around a second pair of edges of the substrate, wherein the second pair of edges is different from the first pair of edges, to wrap a second filament layer around the substrate.

An apparatus for winding coils onto a spherical body includes a frame, a feeder spool, a first hemispherical bobbin, a second hemispherical bobbin, a first spring-loaded pin, a second spring-loaded pin, and a motor arrangement. The feeder spool is rotationally mounted on the frame, has first and second wires wound thereon, and is configured to rotate about a first rotational axis. The first and second hemispherical bobbins are rotationally mounted on the frame and configured to rotate about a second rotational axis that is parallel to the first rotational axis. The bobbins are spaced apart from each other to define a wire-feeder gap through which the first and second wires may be fed. The motor arrangement is coupled to the first and second hemispherical bobbins and is configured to cause the first and second hemispherical bobbins to rotate in opposite directions about the second rotational axis.

A high efficiency bobbin winding device with adjustability has a housing that encloses at least one motor and associated circuitry and mechanism that allows a user to selectively wind a bobbin with a selected amount of thread. The motor is mounted on a hinged support that rotates to move the motor which has a shaft that spins the bobbin. An adjustment knob is rotated to selectively move the motor support. A sensor detects the amount of thread wound on the bobbin and stops further winding when the proper amount of thread is wound on the bobbin. The housing also has indicator lights to indicate power and other settings. A spool is placed on a rod and is thread through a guide and a tension adjustment and then on the bobbin where it is wound to a selected level.

An air data probe includes a probe head defining a longitudinal axis between a forward tip and aft base. A port opening is defined in a side of the probe head and opening at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. A bulkhead within the probe head has a chamber in fluid communication with the port opening. The chamber includes a single chamber inlet having an elongated cross-sectional shape. The single elongated chamber inlet is in fluid communication with two downstream pressure conduits to provide redundancy in case one of the two pressure conduits is blocked.
