Abstract
Abstract A snagger comprises a stationary element adapted to be secured to the periphery of the snagger plate of the winding machine and a movable element pivotally secured to the stationary element. Both elements are provided with a curved surface to cooperate with each other to form a wedge to grasp a wire between them when the movable element is placed in an operative position by a reel mounted to the snagger plate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A snagger for a continuous winding machine having a snagger plate, said snagger comprising a stationary element adapted to be secured to said snagger plate; and a movable element pivotally secured to said stationary element; said stationary element having a projection elongated substantially tangentially relative to the rotational direction of said snagger plate; said movable element having at one end thereof means to contact a reel of said machine to cause said movable element to swing about its pivot; said movable element having at the other end thereof a curved surface; whereby said projection and said curved surface are adapted to cooperate with each other to form a wedge to grasp a wire between them when a reel is mounted to the snagger plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
A snagger for a continuous winding machine having a snagger plate, said snagger comprising a stationary element adapted to be secured to said snagger plate; and a movable element pivotally secured to said stationary element; said stationary element having a projection elongated substantially tangentially relative to the rotational direction of said snagger plate; said movable element having at one end thereof means to contact a reel of said machine to cause said movable element to swing about its pivot; said movable element having at the other end thereof a curved surface; whereby said projection and said curved surface are adapted to cooperate with each other to form a wedge to grasp a wire between them when a reel is mounted to the snagger plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
88 words
A snagger for a double-reel parallel-shaft type continuous winding machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said snagger plate has an inner surface, said stationary element being secured to said inner surface; said other end of said movable element including a wedge piece having said curved surface; said snagger plate having a peripheral opening therethrough; said wedge piece having a pin projecting through said opening; and means connected to said pin for biasing said curved surface of said movable element away from said projection of said stationary element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A snagger as claimed in claim 2, wherein said means for biasing comprises resilient means positioned between said pin and a second pin secured to said snagger plate at the surface thereof opposite said inner surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
109 words
A snagger for a double-reel common-shaft type continuous winding machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said stationary element is secured to the surface of said snagger plate which confronts a second snagger plate, said two snagger plates being axially aligned and disposed in parallel with each other; said other end of said movable element including a wedge piece having said curved surface; said snagger plate having a peripheral opening therethrough; said movable element extending through said opening; said wedge piece having a pin extending away from said snagger plate; and means connected to said pin for biasing said curved surface away from said projection of said stationary element.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A snagger as claimed in claim 4, wherein said means for biasing comprises resilient means positioned between said pin and a second pin secured to said surface of said snagger plate.
