Novel adaptive stylus winding assemblies for use in winding surgical sutures in tray packages are disclosed. The stylus winding assemblies have a pivotally mounted stylus member and a biasing element to facilitate winding a suture into a suture track of a suture tray. The winding assemblies provide for reliable product supply, quality improvements and cost reductions.

The invention relates to a wire tie roller for producing a spoil of soft annealed wire capable of being used to tie a primary transmission wire to an insulator. The wire tie roller includes a mounting assemble, shaft mountable to the mounting assemble, and a housing assembly. The housing assembly is designed to form a cylinder and includes a roller bearing system. The housing assembly and roller bearing system are designed to allow the formed cylinder to rotate about the shaft when the mounted shaft is positioned in the cylinder. The housing assembly further includes an wire receiving aperture along the outer wall of the housing assembly near one end of the cylinder and when soft annealed wiring is inserted in the aperture the cylinder can be rotated about its center axis to produce a coil of soft annealed wiring.

A concentrated adjuvant composition comprises an incompletely hydrated water-soluble polymer suspended in a liquid medium, a suspension agent and a hydration inhibitor component.

A fishing line winder is disclosed. The line winder is combined with a line reel, so that a fishing line is sequentially reeled and unreeled. The line winder is a machine for preventing reverse winding and tangling, where a base of the fishing line winder is provided with a shaft, and a driving member drives the shaft to rotate, while a spindle is provided with a line spool, an abutment wheel and an unidirectional bearing; a resistance against the rotation of the abutment wheel is formed by means of a brake pad, thus preventing reverse winding and tangling when the fishing line is reeled onto and unreeled from the line reel.

A filament coiling device is provided. The filament coiling device includes: an automatic winding mechanism configured to drive a filament reel to rotate; an automatic filament arranging mechanism disposed opposite to the automatic winding mechanism and configured to automatically thread a front end of a filament into a bottom hole of the filament reel and guide the filament to be wound around the filament reel in a preset filament arranging manner; an automatic tail filament cutting and fixing mechanism disposed on the automatic winding mechanism and configured to cut off a tail end of the filament that has been wound and fix the tail end of the filament to the filament reel; and an automatic loading and unloading mechanism configured to convey and mount a filament reel not wound with a filament to the automatic winding mechanism and transfer the filament reel wound with a filament for storage.

A reel take-up apparatus includes a frame, a drive mechanism, a hydraulic counterbalance system, and a pair of positioning actuators. The frame may be configured to receive a reel from one end. The drive mechanism is generally slidably mounted to the frame and configured to rotate the reel. The hydraulic counterbalance system is generally configured to counterbalance a weight of the drive mechanism to allow the drive mechanism to float freely on the frame. The pair of positioning actuators may be configured to move a pair of support rollers toward and away from each other so as to (i) lift the reel from a support surface, (ii) support the reel during rotation by the drive mechanism, and (iii) lower the reel to the support surface for removal from the frame.

A swivel drive for a winding device wherein a thread is wound onto a bobbin tube to form a bobbin includes a swivel axis. A motor is coupled with a drive shaft, wherein the drive shaft has a drive axis. A first gear stage is coupled to the drive shaft, and a second gear stage is coupled to the first gear stage. The second gear stage has a gear output oriented in the swivel axis. The first gear stage includes a first crown gear and the second gear stage includes a second crown gear.
