Abstract
Method and apparatus for dividing wire coils into two wire coils of equal weight or any different weights. A non-bound, loose wire coil is placed on a double screw rod on which two screws of reverse directions of thread are facing in opposite directions at the central turning point of the rod, and the screw rod is rotated to have the screws caused movement of the parts of the wire coil thereon in splitting directions so as to divide the wire coil into two parts at the turning point. The two coil parts thus formed are separated by cutting wire and separately bound to form two wire coils.
Claims7
An apparatus for dividing wire coils comprising:
- a double screw rod on which two screws of reverse directions of thread are facing in opposite directions at the central turning point of the rod;
- bearings to rotatably support the screw rod at both the ends thereof;
- a bearing support of such a shape that is fixed to a bed frame at one end thereof and allows coming in and out of wire coils at the other end;
- and
- means for rotating the screw.
An apparatus for dividing wire coils comprising:
- a double screw rod on which a screw of a larger diameter and a screw of a smaller diameter, threads of the two screws being in reverse directions, are facing in opposite directions at the central turning point of the rod;
- load cells for measuring weights of the parts of the wire coil;
- bearings to rotatably support the double screw rod at both the ends thereof;
- a bearing support of such a shape that is fixed to a bed frame at one end thereof and allows coming in and out of wire coils at the other end;
- and
- means for rotating the screw.
