Abstract
A winding apparatus capable of improving productivity includes a plurality of sets of winding devices each comprising a nozzle unit and a guide unit, and a plurality of holder for holding a plurality of bobbins in a predetermined posture so that the bobbins are wound with wires parallelly and simultaneously. Further, the nozzle units and the guide units of the plurality of winding devices are arranged on the same guide rails and the supply and winding of the wires are synchronized with the rotation of the holders. Moreover, each of the bobbins used in the winding apparatus is substantially funnel-shaped with the formation of a tapered outer peripheral surface having a projection so that the holders can securely hold the bobbin while positioning the bobbin through this projection. This winding apparatus is suitable for obtaining a saddlelike coil by winding a wire on a deflection yoke bobbin.
