DEFINITION
Classification: 242/542.3
With core steering means (e.g., pivotal mounting or guide rail):
(under subclass 541) Subject matter comprising a structure for directing movement of a take-up spool with respect to the transmission mechanism, typically for one of the following reasons: (a) to accommodate an increasing take-up diameter as layers of material are wound, (b) to shift the take-up to a spaced winding position permitting a second take-up to be engaged with the transmission mechanism while the preceding take-up is being completed, or (c) to shift the take-up toward a spaced winding position for convenient unloading when the winding is completed.
(1) Note. The steering means may actively move or passively direct movement of the take-up from one position to another.
