A helical winding unit of a filament winding apparatus includes guide members guiding fiber bundles F to a liner, a movement mechanism moving the guide members, and a rotation mechanism rotating the guide members. Each of the guide members includes two side walls and guide portions fixed between the two side walls. As the guide portions, a first guide portion having a first guide surface and a second guide portion having a second guide surface and provided downstream of the first guide portion are provided. In the height direction, the first guide surface is oriented to one side. The second guide surface is oriented to the other side in the height direction and provided on the other side of the first guide surface.

A yarn deflection unit for a textile machine, having a housing comprising a curved wall section for forming a radially outer wall section of a curved yarn deflection channel. The solution proposed by the invention is distinguished in that the curved wall section has a yarn guiding groove extending along the curvature for receiving and guiding a yarn.

A bobbin loader apparatus and method includes a bobbin connected with a first motor. A thread holder is connected with a second motor where the thread holder is configured to hold thread. A thread guide is connected with a third motor where the thread guide directs thread from the thread holder to the bobbin. A motor controller is connected with the first motor, the second motor and the third motor where the motor controller operates the first motor to turn the bobbin in a first direction and the second motor to turn the thread holder in a second direction such that tension is applied to the thread as thread is added to the bobbin.

An apparatus to permit both the individual loosening of an electric conductor on a conductor string while on the ground as well as a conveyance from the ground to the bucket of the conductor strings for ease of installation. The apparatus includes a telescoping pole which includes clamps to attach the pole to a top Y-shaped yoke and a bottom Y-shaped yoke. A first conductor string is attached to a first side of the top yoke and a first side of the bottom yoke and a second conductor string is attached to a second side of the top yoke and a second side of the bottom yoke. The first and second conductor strings are comprised of a plurality of electrical conductors. The pole has a top and bottom side. The pole has a hand powered jack attached thereto, which, when actuated, gives a small tolerance intermediate each conductor allowing them to be stretched.
