Work piece carrier with auxiliary carrier for producing electric coils

Abstract

A work piece carrier which has a base plate adapted for frictionally engaging a conveyor belt is disclosed. At least two semicircular supports, open at the top, are rigidly connected with the base and are disposed at a distance to each other. A retaining pin for coil wire remnants is disposed between the two supports of the work piece carrier. A removable auxiliary carrier with a coil body is seated in or removed from each support crosswise to the longitudinal extension of the conveyor belt, where a cylindrical body of the auxiliary carrier has at least one, preferably two auxiliary retaining pins for coil wire ends. In one embodiment, reversing pins are axially disposed at a distance from each auxiliary retaining pin on the cylindrical body of the auxiliary carrier for forming loops of the coil wire. In this way the length of the wire end sections can be varied, for example for subsequent manually performed finishing of the completed coil.
