Abstract
The closure device is intended to hold the free end of an elongated element on a winding collected on a winding station during the operations of making ligatures on this winding. The device includes a support, capable of being set in rotation about a shaft coaxial with the winding, and two means of actuating bent arms, pressing portions of which are capable of clamping the last layer of the winding. This device makes it possible to automate the finishing operations of the winding. Furthermore it makes it possible to aid in discharging the finished winding from the winding station.
