Abstract
An apparatus and method for winding a multistrand roving package by guiding a plurality of strands along convergent paths of travel towards a winding mandrel employ a pair of spaced strand guide members in the vicinity of the mandrel. The guide members define a gap for the strands and are reciprocated parallel to the mandrel axis so as to alternately engage and deflect the strands into a side-by-side relationship in the package. The strand guide members each have strand guide edge portions so located that, transversely of the mandrel axis, they are offset towards the mandrel from a linearly disposed relationship to intersect the strand paths at different respective angles corresponding to the differences in direction of the strand paths, thereby to compensate for differences in the strand deflections resulting from the differences in direction of the strand paths and to improve the strand deposition.
