Abstract
A wire coiler with a rotating winding drum which can be immersed in a water tank as a rotational body having the greatest possible smoothness in order to avoid energy-dissipating turbulence of the water in the tank includes a winding drum (1) open towards the top and formed by outer and inner spaced casings (2, 3), and a base (4) connecting the casings and a vertical rotatable shaft (8) connected by flanges (5, 7) to the drum. The inner casing of the winding drum is breached by vertical slots (16), and an annular disc (15) inserted into the winding drum for supporting the turns of the wire coil being formed is connected to a lifting device (19, 21) by crosspieces (17) engaging through the slots, whereby the lifting device raises the supporting surface of the disc to a level with the transfer plane of the wire coils. A lifting sleeve (19) connected to the stationary lifting device (21) surrounds the shaft and has an annular groove (20) which engages the inner ends of the crosspieces to form a rotatingly movable, axially fixed connection, and is movably arranged in the annular space within the inner casing.
