Abstract
Filamentary material is wound upon tubes mounted upon a winder. A traversing guide traverses the filamentary material along the package axis to produce a helical winding thereof. A control mechanism engages the filamentary material prior to completion of a winding sequence to cause the trailing end of the filamentary material to be wound for a plurality of turns in non-helical, close-order relationship on the package to resist subsequent unraveling of the filamentary material. The control mechanism comprises a movable arm which includes a contact edge oriented generally parallel to a plane defined by the traversing movement of the filamentary material. The arm is mounted for movement toward and away from such plane to contact the filamentary material upstream of the traversing guide and displace same out of the latter. The contact edge includes a stop for constraining the filamentary material for winding in a non-helical, close-order relationship onto the package.
