Abstract
A device for coiling and uncoiling elongated goods (K), such as wire, cable or the like, onto a drum ( ) comprises a support ( ) with driving means ( ) for a spreader arm ( ). The spreader arm ( ) is rotatably mounted on the support ( ) and supports a gripping arm ( ) for coiling and uncoiling the elongated goods (K) onto the stationary drum ( ). The gripping arm ( ) is formed as a curved V-profile having a running track arranged for the elongated goods (K), which running track is oriented towards the drum ( ). The said running track is defined by feeding rollers mounted within the gripping arm ( ). The feeding rollers are spherical in shape and have a rolling resistance near zero to eliminate twisting of the elongated goods (K) during coiling and uncoiling. The device also comprises a lifting and rotating table ( ) provided under the drum ( ) for making possible 180° rotation of the drum ( ), which has a coupling ( ) to the support ( ) detachably arranged during lifting of the drum ( ).
