Wire electrode liner

A liner for supporting a coil of wire comprising a strip having two side edges, each of said side edges including at least one tie groove positioned on each of said side edges, said tie grooves on each side edge of said strip being substantially aligned with one another, said strip formed into a generally circular shape, each of said side edges of said strip having a plurality of tie grooves, each of said tie grooves on one side of said strip being substantially aligned with said tie grooves on said other side of said strip, said strip includes two ends, said liner including a securing mechanism to secure together each of the ends of said strip in a secured position.

A liner for supporting a coil of wire comprising a strip having two side edges, each of said side edges including at least one tie groove positioned on each of said side edges, said tie grooves on each side edge of said strip being substantially aligned with one another, said strip formed into a generally circular shape, each of said side edges of said strip having a plurality of tie grooves, each of said tie grooves on one side of said strip being substantially aligned with said tie grooves on said other side of said strip, each end of said strip has a cross-sectional shape which is substantially the same in size and in shape, said strip includes two ends, said liner including a securing mechanism to secure together each of the ends of said strip in a secured position.

A liner for supporting a coil of wire comprising a strip having two side edges, each of said side edges including at least one tie groove positioned on each of said side edges, said tie grooves on each side edge of said strip being substantially aligned with one another, said strip formed into a generally circular shape, said ends of said strip at least partially overlap in said secured position.

A liner for supporting a coil of wire comprising a strip formed into a generally circular shape and having two side edges and including at least one position indicator to define the position of said two ends in a secure position, each of said side edges including at least one tie groove positioned on each of said side edges, at least a portion of said tie groove is spaced inwardly from the side edge of said strip, said tie grooves on each side edge of said strip being substantially aligned with one another.

A wire coil for packaging a wire comprising a liner, wire coiled about the liner and at least one wire tie, said liner including a strip and an end securing mechanism, said strip having two sides and two ends, said two ends secured together in a secured position by said end securing mechanism, each of said two sides of said strip including a tie groove substantially aligned with each another along the central axis of said wire coil, each of said tie grooves receiving a portion of said wire tie to secure said wire tie in position, said wire tie securing said wire to said liner.
