Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0015] The invention is explained in greater detail below with reference to the character FIGURE, which schematically shows a perspective view of a sketch of a wire outlet nozzle arrangement according to the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] One embodiment according to the invention may contain merely some of the components depicted in the FIGURE. Although a plurality of wire outlet nozzles is shown in the following exemplary embodiment, the invention theoretically also functions with merely one nozzle. Thus, insofar as the following description relates to a plurality of nozzles, it accordingly also applies for merely one nozzle.

[0017] The wire outlet nozzle arrangement 100 according to the invention in the example shown includes a housing or a holding frame 106, in which the wire outlet nozzles 102 are mounted. Winding wires 101 are guided through the wire outlet nozzles 102, which are then fed in a wire feed direction X to a winding body (not shown). The unit depicted in the example shown includes a plurality of wire outlet nozzles 102, which are situated parallel to one another with their longitudinal axis oriented in feed direction X. According to the invention, the nozzles 102 include engagement contours 107 extended helically around their outside, whichas in the example shownmay be designed as grooves, however, they may also be differently designed, for example as projections. The design of the grooves has the advantage that the spacing of the nozzles may be minimal. The engagement contours 107 serve to interact with a manipulation device 103, the manipulation of which results in the rotation of the nozzles 102 about an axis P2. Accordingly, the manipulation device 103 includes for such purpose engagement sections 109 situated on the front side 108 of the manipulation device 103 and are designed to engage with the corresponding engagement contours 107 of the wire outlet nozzles 102. The engagement contours 107 in the example shown extend helically around the outside of the nozzles 102 so that the movement of the manipulation device in and opposite the feed direction X results in the rotation of all nozzles 102 synchronously about the axis P2.

[0018] In the example shown, the manipulation device 103 may be positioned opposite the nozzles 102, i.e., it can be engaged and disengaged with the nozzles 102 in the area of the engagement sections 109, respectively, in the area of the engagement contours 107. The positioning may be accomplished in that the manipulation device 103 may be moved toward the nozzles 102 in a direction perpendicular to the feed direction X and removed from the former again. In the example shown, it is provided that the manipulation device is a pivotable component, which may be swiveled about a pivot axis 110 in the arrow direction P1. The position of the manipulation device 103 may be fixed via a fixing section 104, which can be moved in the direction of arrow P3, for example, perpendicular to the feed direction X. The manipulation device 103 is preferably movable in feed direction X and opposite the feed direction X (indicated by the arrow P4). For this purpose, it may be attached to a carriage 105, on the other hand it is, as in the example shown, also designed for pivotal movement about the pivot axis 110. The carriage 105 is mounted on the housing 106 so as to move in the arrow direction P4 parallel to the feed direction X.
