DEFINITION

Classification: 242/478.2

With distribution monitor and correction or indication:

(under subclass 476.7) Subject matter in which improper distribution of material on the take-up or a condition directly related to it (e.g., material tension) is detected and (1) the movement of the traverse mechanism is adjusted or (2) an indicating signal is generated in response to the detection.

(1) Note. Sensing of tension in itself does not constitute detecting improper distribution of material. The apparatus must be configured so that the guiding of the material and sensing of tension provide an indication of the material distribution.
