Winding machine for a musical string

Abstract

In a winding machine (1) for a musical string (2), comprising a feed device (11) for a tensioned winding element (13) onto a string core (7) during a winding process, and a guide device (16) with two contact surfaces (18, 19) which are designed and configured to make physical contact with the first winding element (13) already arranged on the string core (7), wherein the guide device (16) together with the feed device (11) is movable parallel to the axis of rotation (6) of the tensioning device, wherein the winding point (17) is formed in the guide device (16) during the winding process, it is provided that the guide device (16) at the winding point (17) forms a support for the string core (7) and limits lateral deflections of the string core (7) during the winding process due to a tensile force (14) on the winding element (13).and that – in a plane normal to the clamping device rotation axis (6) – the first contact surface (18) is arranged at a first angle (α) between 55° and 125° to the second contact surface (19).
