.~.~ By compound movement mechanism
DEFINITION
Classification: 242/433.1
By compound movement mechanism:
(under subclass 433) Subject matter wherein the winding mechanism comprises a material dispenser (e.g., a nozzle) and a motion transmission means to cause relative oscillation and reciprocation between the material dispenser and the core for winding the elongated material about the projection.
(1) Note. Typically the compound movement involves the following four sequential motions to form a convolution: (a) an axial movement of the material dispenser through one of the slots to deposit material along one of the slots; (b) an arcuate movement about an end face of the core to align the material dispenser with a second slot; (c) a reverse axial movement of the material dispenser through the second slot to deposit the material along the second slot; and (d) a final reverse arcuate movement about the opposite end face of the core end to position the material dispenser at the initial point ready to form a second convolution.
(2) Note. The arcuate movements referred to in this subclass are for creating windings and should not be confused with an indexing motion that may be used to determine a particular placement of the windings.
