Definitions
- This invention relates to machines for coiling or reeling wire and particularly to a mechanism by means of which the initial and therefore usually unprocessed damaged or unusable end of a long length of wire to be coiled or reeled may be segregated from the remainder of the wire during such coiling or reeling whereby it may readily be disposed of.
- Patent No. 2,341,369 issued to C. M. Fornwald, Jr. and assigned to the assignee of this application, one mechanism for eliminating such unusable wire ends is disclosed.
- the present invention provides a simpler mechanism than that of the above-mentioned patent, while performing the wire end eliminating function equally end of wire to be coiled or reeled may be segregated, so that it may readily be discarded subsequent to coiling or reeling.
- FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of the spool end of a coiling machine showing a portion of the wire distributing mechanism modified in accordance with my invention.
- FIGURE 2 is a front elevational view of the spools and distributing mechanism as depicted in FIGURE 1.
- wire which has been annealed generally has an end which, due to the threading of the annealing machine, has not been annealed and therefore is a hard end which should be discarded. It is therefore desirable that the damaged end be segregrated from the remainder of the wire while on the spool so that the discarding thereof is possible before the wire is shipped. Thus all of the wire on the shipping spool is undamaged.
- an auxiliary spool is provided and the leading end of the wire is wound on this spool. After the damaged portion has thus been wound on the auxiliary spool, the wire is guided from the auxiliary spool to the main spool.
- the beginning end of the wire on that main spool may be severed from the damaged wire on the auxiliary spool and dependent upon the length of wire wound on the auxiliary spool, if desirable a length of undamaged wire may be left exposed thus facilitating certain operations such as the welding of the beginning end of wire on the spool (which will of course be the terminal end when the wire is unwound) to the end of another spool when successive spools are being used as a continuous length.
- a portion of a spooling or coiling machine from which projects a power driven mandrel 11 upon which the main spool 12 is mounted. Also mounted on the mandrel 11 is the wire end or auxiliary spool 13.
- This spool 13 is formed of a cylindrical portion 14 and a frusto-conical portion 15 and has at its outer or left hand end a disk 16.
- Disk 16 may be integral with or fixed to the spool 13. It may, if desired however, be a separate part interposed between the flange of spool 12 and the end of spool 13.
- a pair of clips 17 Mounted upon the conical surface 15 are a pair of clips 17 spaced apart. These clips are utilized to hold the end of a wire length during the coiling on the auxiliary spool. Two clips are provided merely as a matter of convenience, it being obvious that one is all that is necessary.
- the wire is therefore, when the machine is threaded, led first through the wire guiding block 22 and thence over the pin 25 and clipped in one of the clips 17. This position of the wire is that shown in full lines in FIGURE 2.
- the mandrel 11 is then caused to rotate in the usual manner and Wire is wound upon the cylindrical portion 14 of the auxiliary spool 13.
- the operator engages the distributor mechanism thus causing the block 22 to travel toward, the left as seen in FIGURE 2.
- the pin 26 fixed in the periphery of disk 16 and extending to the right will engage the reach of wire between pin 25 and spool 13.
- the distributor As the distributor continues to operate in its normal manner it will reciprocate through a distance equal to the distance between the flanges of the main spool and will wind layers of wire on the main spool.
- the pin 25 will play no part in the winding subsequent to the removal of the wire therefrom by action of the pin or screw 26 as above described.
- the main reel When the winding of the main reel is completed, the main reel is removed from the mandrel and the wire is cut at some point between the periphery of the reel flange and the portion coiled upon the auxiliary spool, the length of wire remaining on the mainspool being that desired but including no portion of the damaged or uncoated or untreated end.
- a rotatable mandrel in combination, a rotatable mandrel; a main wire receiving spool mounted on said mandrel; a wire end receiving spool mounted on said mandrel axially adjacent said wire receiving spool; a main wire guide longitudinally reciprocable relative to said wire receiving spool for laying wire in adjacent turns reeled upon the wire receiving spool.
- a coiling machine in accordance with claim 1 wherein said means for disengaging the wire from said wire end guide comprises a pin extending parallel to the mandrel axis and fixed to the flange of the wire end receiving spool adjacent the main wire receiving spool.
- a rotatable mandrel in combination, a rotatable mandrel, a main wirereceiving spool mounted on said mandrel, an auxiliary wire receiving spool also mounted on said mandrel, a main wire guide longitudinally reciprocable relative to said main spool for laying wire on said spool in adjacent turns, an auxiliary Wire guide fixed to said first mentioned guide and directing the wire from said main guide to said auxiliary wire receiving spool and means mounted radially outward of said mandrel substantially in alignment with the main spool flange and extending parallel to the mandrel axis for removing wire from said auxiliary wire guide upon initial longitudinal reciprocation of said guides to thereby cause wire to be directed to said main spool by said main guide.
- a power driven mandrel adapted to have a main Wire spool and an auxiliary wire spool secured thereto for rotation therewith, said auxiliary spool being axially adjacent said main spool; means for guiding a wire to said main spool, said means comprising a longitudinally reciprocatory block having an aperture therein through which the wire passes; auxiliary wire guiding means comprising an arm longitudinally ofiset from said block toward said auxiliary spool, and a pin extending perpendicularly to said arm; and means comprising a pin fixed for rotation with said mandrel and extending longitudinally of said auxiliary spool adjacent the periphery of the main spool flange for removing a wire from said auxiliary wire guide pin on initial movement of said guide block to thereby cause wire to disengage from said pin and to feed directly from said guide block to said main wire spool.
- a power driven mandrel adapted to have a main spool and an auxiliary wire end receiving spool mounted thereon axially adjacent each other; a longitudinally reciprocable main Wire guide for distributing wire on said main spool as said mandrel and spools rotate; an auxiliary Wire guide comprising an arm mounted on said main wire guide and extending longitudinally over said auxiliary wire guide when 'said main end receiving spool is positioned to deposit wire adjacent one flange of said main spool and a pin mounted on said arm and extending perpendicularly to the direction of reciprocation of said main: and auxiliary wire guides; means to fasten a wire end to said auxiliary wire end receiving spool; and means comprising a member spaced radially outward of 'said mandrel and extending longitudinally of said auxiliary spool from a position adjacent said one spool flange for engaging a wire being fed from said main guide over said auxiliary guide to
