Abstract
A long-sized wire transfer apparatus for use with a wire cutting machine or the like including a wire feed mechanism and a cutter blade assembly which opens and closes to cut into predetermined lengths a wire intermittently fed in by the wire feed mechanism. The wire transfer apparatus comprises a wire clamping transfer conveyor laterally extending from the downstream side of the cutter blade assembly in a direction at the right angles to the wire withdrawing line, a wire drift conveyor composed of an endless belt extending laterally from the initial end of the transfer conveyor through a slide plate of suitable length along the wire withdrawing line, and a wire collecting device or the like disposed immediately below the terminal end of the wire clamping transfer conveyor.
Claims21
A long-sized wire tranfer apparatus, comprising:
- a wire clamping transfer conveyor for clamping the vicinity of the terminal end of a cut wire length as cut into a predetermined length and withdrawn in the length direction thereof and for transferring said cut wire length in the direction at the right angle with respect to the wire withdrawing line and substantially in a lateral direction,
- a wire drift conveyor arranged to extend along said wire withdrawing line with a predetermined width in the cut wire length withdrawing direction of said wire clamping transfer conveyor with the terminal end of a transfer path of said wire clamping transfer conveyor left, and having a transferring surface which is substantially horizontal and moves in said cut wire length withdrawing direction, and
- wire collecting means disposed at the downstream side of said terminal end of said transfer path of said wire clamping transfer conveyor and adjacent said wire drift conveyor.
