Abstract
The thread winding machine includes a piston and cylinder unit, comprising a cylinder housing with first and second chambers and a dividing structure between said first and second chambers. A piston is movable longitudinally in the first chamber and a piston extension projects from said piston towards the second chamber. A port in the dividing structure receives the piston extension when the piston is near the dividing structure, thereby separating said first and second chambers. A thread guide is connected to the piston of the piston and cylinder unit for movement in combination therewith.
