Wire twisting device

Abstract

A device for twisting multi-stranded wires having a first twisting portion comprising a supply reel carrying the wire and a first flyer bow rotatable about the axis defined by its ends. A second twisting portion, downstream of the first portion, has a second flyer bow which rotates about the axis defined by its ends. Means are provided for drawing the wire through the first portion and into the second portion and onto a take up reel. The wire is twisted in each of the first and second portions. In a preferred form of the device, a wire divergence plate, having a plurality of holes, is provided downstream of the supply reel. A convergence die is located downstream of the plate and upstream of the upstream end of the first flyer bow. The strands of wire pass separately through the holes and are brought together when passing through the die.
