Abstract

A winding machine equipped with a traverse mechanism to protect, for example, a reel or wire wound on a reel should feed wire break during feeding of the reel. The mechanism includes a carriage, borne by a support, which moves back and forth along the entire length of a reel and carries a pulley for guiding wire that is wound on the reel. A circular protective channel coaxial with the reel and borne by the carriage moves back and forth with the carriage. The channel includes a circular track portion extending in a plane parallel to and laterally offset with respect to the plane of the pulley, and a deflection portion situated in the same plane as the pulley and limited by a deflection wall.
