Abstract

A method and apparatus are disclosed for winding at least a layer of separate fibers or groups of fibers onto a rotating support while modifying the width of the layer by moving the layer between two extreme positions perpendicular to the direction of fiber travel and simultaneously moving each fiber or group of fibers in its own plane of motion, offset in relation to a vertical plane at an angle varying from one plane to the next.
