Specification of Letters 'Iatent.

Patented Jan. 3,1922.

Application filed October 10,1919. Serial No. 329,843.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALFRED KIELLAND, a

, subject of the King of Norway, residing at Trondhjem, Norway, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Winding Machines for Pipe Conduits, Especially lVooden-Stave Pipes, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of, this specification.

The present invention has for its object a machine whichis particularly adapted for the winding of wire about wooden stave pipes and the like in continuous operation and in any desired lengths. According to the present invention the wire winding apparatus is attached to a rotating ring-shaped disk arranged concentrically in relation to the pipe. In co-operation with the rotary movement of the ring-shaped disk the pipe has an axial movement, whereby the winding of the wire around said pipe may be properly placed.

nother object of this invention is to form a pipe forming machine or device of such a nature that it can be conveniently and permanently located in some well protected place and where there might be a limited amount of space available for the location of such a machine. The parts of this machine are few, more or less compact and easily and readily removable. Another object of thi invention is to prov vide such a device with feeding means which co-act or which may act separately to feed the pipe as it is being wound.

By a slight modification of the structure, but using the same general principles, a wire winding device might be formed in which the pipe is stationary, being'surrounded'by a casing that is longitudinally removable and which carries a rotating wire winding means for wrappinga wire around the pipe.

Other objects and advantages willappear from the following description taken in connection with the drawing, in which- Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the winding.

machine, showing a sectional view of the guide ring.

1 is an end view of the guide ring.

Flg. 2 is a view showing the main part of the machine seen in the longitudinal direction of the pipe.

As seen from Fig. 1 the whole device is mounted on the firm base'of any suitable material and construction. Ateach end of the base is a track-way, upon which are mounted feeding and guiding carriages.

Between the two feeding and guiding carriages are stand b and it, upon which the winding structure 'is located and through WlllCh a passage is provided for the pipe as it is being wound. Upon the stand it is ar-- ranged a gear wheel 9 concentric with the pipe and rotating around the pipe in the process of winding the wire. This gear wheel is rotated by means of a motor z", mounted upon'a shaft 71 which carries a gear wheel meshing with the gear 9. The motor used may be of any suitable and convenient kind, preferably in the resent instance electric. Attached to one side of the gear wheel 9 is the winding drum 6 adapted to carry the wire by which the pipe is to be wound. For the lpurpose of drawing the wire tight around t e pipe is provided a wire tightener f which is also mounted upon one side of the gear wheel g. Located on the base adjacent the wire winding means is a guiding ring at in which are mounted screw-adjusted rollers m serving as guiding and pressing rollers. These rollers guide the pipe as it passes through the stands and the gearing g and also serves to hold the staves in place while they are being wound. On one end of the base upon suitable runners or tracks is mounted a guide 0 having any suitable means for gripping the pipe a, which may be operated by handle wheel a. Attached to one -located operating means. Each of these actuating the gearing w means consists of a speed-reducing gear mechanism mounted upon the ends of a transverse shaft 8 and having a common driving means, which is a gearing 70 meshing with the gear 9. On each end of the shaft 8 is a bell-crank lever having an arm 15. Upon this arm is a short shaft carrying a small gear I and a larger gear. TlllS larger gear meshes with a small gear upon the shaft 8, which carries integral with it a large gear, meshing with another small gear, up orted by a shaft beneath the shaft .5. This ower shaft also carries a larger gear meshing with a gear on the shaft carrying the aforementioned gearing is. It will be seen from the above escription that by swinging the handle 9 cf the bell-crank lever on the pivot point of the shaft 8 the pinion 0 may be removed from or brought in mesh with the rack r. The structure by which the rack 1' attached to the guide carriage I may be engaged or disengaged by the pinion r is similar to that just described, but located on the opposite end of the shafts.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
