Shaped plug

Apparatus for winding coils of wire on a bobbin is disclosed. The coil winding apparatus comprises a support structure, a drive shaft arranged for axial rotation carried by the support structure, a carriage carried by the support structure, the carriage being arranged for movement in a plane parallel to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft, the carriage including a wire feed guide arranged to pivot about an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft and spring means connected to the guide for regulating the pivoting of the guide. A drive wheel coupled to the carriage is in rotational tangential contact with the drive shaft, with the rotational axes of the drive wheel and drive shaft being offset in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the drive shaft and drive wheel at their point of tangency, the axes of rotation of the drive wheel and the drive shaft forming an angle, whereby the rotation of the drive wheel causes the movement of the carriage.
