A winder cable guard includes a generally flat plate that is attached to an inwardly facing surface of the outer support bearing in a winder mechanism. The plate is sized and configured to fit within and seal the clearance gap between the outer end of the winder drum and the outer support bearing. This prevents a cable being wound onto the winder drum from slipping or falling into the gap. The potential for jamming and/or breakage of the lift cable is thereby reduced.

A winding fixing device and method for a hollow-cylindrical high-voltage winding are disclosed, wherein the winding fixing device includes a pillar-like element having two axial ends, each of the two axial ends being configured to be connected to a respective retaining element which is arranged transversely with respect thereto. Each of the retaining elements is configured to be movable along the pillar-like element and detachable therefrom. A positioning region for arranging a hollow-cylindrical high-voltage winding is formed between the retaining elements, and spacing elements are configured to move axially along the pillar-like element. The spacing elements are configured to radially fix the hollow-cylindrical high-voltage winding when placed between the retaining elements by applying a tensile force to the retaining elements.

A strap storage container has a strap storage rack and a crank mechanism for coiling the straps. The crank mechanism passes through the storage container and has a handle on a first end and strap receiving aperture (e.g., a slot) on a second end. The strap storage rack is removably insertable within the strap storage container.

A bobbin includes a bobbin main body including flanges at both ends of a bobbin winder spindle for winding the bobbin thread and an outer flange attached to one of the flanges (a second flange) of the bobbin main body. A gap in which a thread end of the bobbin thread is housed is provided between the outer flange and the flange of the bobbin main body.
