(under subclass 364) Subject matter including details of structure or process for supplying or controlling the supply of power for causing the relative rotation of the support and material required for winding the material onto and unwinding the material from the support.
(1) Note. This subclass takes documents directed to the structure of controls for operating or the drive train for driving a material support (e.g., winding drum) or other material winding mechanism (e.g., orbital winding flyer). The mere recitation of a motor, drive means, or control means is not sufficient to warrant placement here. Sensor details alone are sufficient only when not provided for above. See the search notes below.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
364.7, for a sensor forming part of a winding drive control system in a unidirectional winding and unwinding device.
366.2, for a unidirectional winding and unwinding device including a drive for a drum constructed to shift material axially during operation.
