An adjustment mechanism of nursery equipment includes a string connecting a fixed portion and a movable portion, a reel that is rotatable in both forward and reverse directions and that changes the position or shape of the movable portion by winding up and feeding out the string, a biasing member that biases the reel in such a way that the reel rotates in a winding direction of the string, and a lock member that prohibits rotation of the reel. A biasing force of the biasing member is selected to be smaller than a biasing force with which the movable portion tends to move downward in the vertical direction.

A winding device includes: a winding core having a winding body and flanges provided on both sides of the winding body in a rotation-axis direction, the winding core being configured such that a wire rod supplied from a supply source is wound around the winding body being rotated; a guide member configured to be rotated together with the winding core, the guide member being configured to guide the wire rod to the winding body; and an axial-direction moving mechanism configured to move the guide member in the rotation-axis direction of the winding core.

An equipment is disclosed for attaching an optical fiber to a reel, the equipment including a tape supply station configured to cut and supply pieces of tape, an attachment device having a frame with a collector for collecting a piece of tape from the tape supply station for attaching the optical fiber to the reel, an actuator for moving the attachment device and for pressing the collector, having the piece of tape, against the optical fiber and the reel in order to attach the optical fiber to the reel, and a cutter for cutting the optical fiber. Such an equipment can be advantageous as manual labour can be excluded from the process of attaching an optical fiber to a reel.

The present disclosure relates to a collection device and a preparation system, including a pre-adjustment mechanism which is disposed in a housing and configured to adjust at least one bundle of carbon nanotube aggregates, and includes a first pre-adjustment sub-mechanism and a second pre-adjustment sub-mechanism for adjusting carbon nanotube aggregations along a first direction and a second direction, respectively; a winding mechanism for winding and collecting the carbon nanotube aggregates passing through the pre-adjustment mechanism.

Nursery equipment includes: a body (car seat body); an extended portion (ISOFIX) extended from the car seat body; and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position or shape of the ISOFIX. The adjustment mechanism includes a string having one end connected to the car seat body and the other end held by the ISOFIX, a reel that is rotatable in both forward and reverse directions and that changes the position or shape of the ISOFIX by winding up and feeding out the string, and a rotation lock mechanism that prohibits rotation of the reel.

A winding machine (1) for a traversing application of a winding material (51) to a spool sleeve (27) comprises a spindle (8) which is supported for being rotated and for having a fixed axial position. The spindle (8) comprises an inner recess. The winding machine (1) comprises a drive driving the spindle (8) for a rotational movement and a traversing carriage (20). The traversing carriage (20) is supported on the spindle (8) for being movable with a traversing motion (18) in an axial direction relative to the spindle (8). A first coupling element serves for transmitting the rotational movement of the spindle (8) to the traversing carriage (20) and a second coupling element serves for transmitting the traversing motion (18) of the traversing carriage (20) to the spool sleeve (27). The winding machine (1) also comprises an actuation mechanism (30) executing the traversing motion (18). The actuation mechanism (30) is coupled to the traversing carriage (20) for transmitting the traversing motion (18) from the actuation mechanism (30) to the traversing carriage (20). The actuation mechanism (30) extends through the inner recess of the spindle (8).

A wire-winding machine comprises a station for winding the wire into a reel comprising a spindle rotatable around an axis of rotation to draw the wire and a spool removably anchored on said spindle and enclosed between a starting stroke flange and an end stroke flange for winding the wire into a reel, and a counteracting tool adapted to operate against the last wound coil to keep the coils mutually juxtaposed. The counteracting tool is controlled by electrical moving means adapted to move it linearly and axially in the winding direction of the coils with a predetermined pitch for each revolution of the spindle.

A cable storage device (100) includes a removal station (110) and a storage spool (120). Slack length of the cable (190) is advanced into the cable storage device. At least a jacket (195) of the cable (190) is removed at the removal station (110). At least a signal-carrying portion of the cable (190) is wound at the storage spool (120). The removed jacket (195) exits the cable storage device (100). The cable (190) can be axially secured at the cable storage device (100). Certain types of spools can index the cable.

A yarn producing apparatus produces CNT (carbon nanotube) yarn from CNT fibers while causing the CNT fibers to run. The yarn producing apparatus includes an aggregating unit that aggregates the CNT fibers, and a twisting and winding device that twists the CNT fibers aggregated by the aggregating unit. The aggregating unit includes an adjusting mechanism that adjusts the aggregation state of the CNT fibers.
