Abstract

The invention relates to a wire tie roller for producing a spoil of soft annealed wire capable of being used to tie a primary transmission wire to an insulator. The wire tie roller includes a mounting assemble, shaft mountable to the mounting assemble, and a housing assembly. The housing assembly is designed to form a cylinder and includes a roller bearing system. The housing assembly and roller bearing system are designed to allow the formed cylinder to rotate about the shaft when the mounted shaft is positioned in the cylinder. The housing assembly further includes an wire receiving aperture along the outer wall of the housing assembly near one end of the cylinder and when soft annealed wiring is inserted in the aperture the cylinder can be rotated about its center axis to produce a coil of soft annealed wiring.
