Abstract
A transfer mechanism for transferring armature forms between a supply pallet and an armature winding machine comprises a turret plate rotatable through 180.degree. angles for presenting opposite margins thereof successively to said supply pallet and said winding machine. In operation, the supply pallet is indexed to receive wound armature forms held by a first armature gripping mechanism mounted on said turret plate and to supply unwound armature forms to said first gripping mechanism. As these events occur, the turret plate supports a second armature gripping mechanism which presents unwound armature forms to the winding machine. The winding machine has winding guide members cooperating with semicircular spaces located in a post projecting upwardly from a mounting plate supporting the turret plate to support the unwound armature forms in position for the winding of coils thereon. The armature gripping mechanisms include means to rotate the armature forms and also includes means to appropriately position the wire being wound for tang connections. After such coil winding, the turret plate is rotated 180.degree. so that the wound armatures gripped by the second gripping mechanism can be returned to the supply pallet and unwound armatures can be simultaneously transferred by the first gripping mechanism for presentation to the winding machine.
