Shortening the lift

Fig. 27 – The assembly for building conical ends on the bobbins

Rods 5 and 6 (Fig. 25) are inclined. The inclination is adjustable and corresponds exactly to the taper of the bobbin ends (angle alpha). During winding of a package, the ratchet is rotated at every change-over, and the microswitch (Fig. 27) is also gradually shifted further to the right on a slide.

Therefore, the rods engage the microswitch steadily earlier in the lift stroke, and reversal occurs correspondingly earlier. This results in a continuous reduction in the lift of the rail. The bobbins are thus built with a taper.
