a former 14 which is kept from rotating during the winding process a stripper 16 and a receiver 18 former 14 can be secured against turning by a locking gear not shown or by receiver 18 shaping elements or shaping fingers 20 are positioned on the former 14 in such a way that they have a pivot point 22 in former 14 where at the lower end of shaping fingers 20 a mushroom cap 24 is disposed and can swivel radially the swiveling capability of mushroom cap 24 is achieved by the action of a support plate 26 that is connected to winding nozzle 12 and can turn with it support plate 26 contains a curved track 28 and plate 26 engages the upper end of shaping elements or shaping fingers 20 i e shaping fingers 20 run along curved track 28 via pivot point 22 so that as shown left shaping finger 20 is guided vertically and the right shaping finger 20 with its mushroom cap 24 is guided toward the outside of winding device 8 if winding nozzle 12 now moves around former 14 shaping fingers 20 particularly mushroom caps 24 will be swung in and out radially fig2 shows a top down view of receiver 18 part of former 14 and the outline of a wave winding 9 former 14 features an outer outline like a wave winding whereby outer lifters 30 are absolutely necessary in order to deform the coil the inner outline of wave winding 9 is shaped by shaping fingers 20 during the winding process winding nozzle.
