Abstract
A wire processing apparatus wherein wire is moved endwise along a travel path comprising a primary wire processing blade pair including first and second blades at opposite sides of the wire travel path; a secondary wire processing blade pair including third and fourth blades at opposite sides of the wire travel path; drive structure; and structure operatively connected between the drive structure and the blade pairs, and operatively intercoupling the first and third blades, and also operatively intercoupling the second and fourth blades, and responsive to operation of the drive structure to cause the first blade to be displaced toward the path as the third blade is displaced away from the path, and to cause the second blade to be displaced toward the path as the fourth blade is displaced away from the path.
Claims56
In wire processing apparatus wherein wire is moved endwise along a travel path, the combination comprising:
- a) a primary wire processing blade pair including first and second blades at opposite sides of the wire travel path,
- b) a secondary wire processing blade pair including third and fourth blades at opposite sides of the wire travel path,
- c) drive means,
- d) and means operatively connected between said drive means and said blade pairs, and operatively intercoupling the first and third blades, and also operatively intercoupling the second and fourth blades, and responsive to operation of the drive means to cause the first blade to be displaced toward said path as the third blade is displaced away from said path, and to cause the second blade to be displaced toward said path as the fourth blade is displaced away from said path,
- e) and belts extending along said travel path for engaging and advancing the wire therealong.
In wire processing apparatus wherein wire is moved endwise along a travel path, the combination comprising:
- a) blade pair means including blades at opposite sides of the wire travel path,
- b) drive means,
- c) and other means operatively connected between said drive means and said blade pair means, and operatively intercoupling the blades, and responsive to operation of the drive means to cause at least a first blade at one side of said path to be displaced toward said path as another blade at the opposite side of said path is displaced away from said path.
