A jewelry link made from square crossectional metal wire has a C-shape when the link is bent within a specially configured clamp over a mandrel, wherein the formed C-shaped links are diamond shaped in cross section. The links further have an outer circumference at their widest point formed by one of the four corner seams of a hollow or solid square wire, which is rotated 45 degrees onto one of its straight longitudinally extending edges before being bent around a mandrel. In that manner, the link is considerably wider than a link formed from square wire which is wrapped upon one of its surfaces over a mandrel. |

Preferred embodiments of the present invention employ a clamp ring apparatus having an upper die assembly with an upper die, a lower die assembly with a lower die, an actuator for bringing the upper die assembly and the lower die assembly together, a leg deflection element for offsetting legs of clamps formed by the apparatus, and a spring for controlling welding pressure on the wires formed to make the clamp rings (for those embodiments in which the wires are welded together). Spine and rib wires are fed into the apparatus from respective wire supplies, and are preferably brought into overlapping relationship between the upper and lower die assemblies. The upper and lower die assemblies then compress the wires to form a clamp from the rib wire and to attach the wires together preferably by using welding electrodes at or adjacent to the lower die assemblies. |

A machine for bending wire into a ring having a plurality of circumferentially spaced and radially outwardly projecting loops. A loop is formed by the cooperation of a pair of first mandrels longitudinally spaced apart on one side of a wire segment and a second mandrel normally positioned on the other side of the wire segment and moved generally transversely across the longitude of the wire segment along a path between the first mandrels while essentially simultaneously the first mandrels are moved generally longitudinally toward each other. Pairs of third and fourth mandrels disposed on opposite sides of the wire form bends in the wire to provide a plurality of rectilinear portions interconnecting adjacent loops to form a ring-like configuration. |

Apparatus for shaping a plurality of lead wires of a miniaturized circuit includes a base mounting a C-shaped frame with guide rails on which a movable carrier is mounted. An upper jaw assembly is mounted on said carrier while a lower jaw assembly, fixed to said frame, has a saddle with locating plates for receiving and properly locating the body of the miniaturized circuit. Lead wires extending therefrom rest on anvil portions of the saddle to be clamped thereto by opposing clamping members carried by the upper jaw assembly. The clamped leads are bent between opposing die members in response to relative movement of the jaw assemblies, into a stepped configuration and mating shear plates trim them to a desired length. The jaw assemblies move in response to manual movement of a handle member mounted to a lever member pivoted on a frame and engaging a cam member on the carrier. The clamp members and the upper die members are spring mounted to insure independent and correct clamping and shaping of the lead wires. The saddle is mounted on a calibrated adjuster for movement relative to the lower die members to very accurately adjust the stepped configuration of the lead wires. Cam lever and handle members are mountable on either side of the frame for right or left hand operation. The lever member is pivoted on an eccentric bushing in the frame for selectively changing the location and length of the stroke of the carrier. The handle member-lever member junction is provided with a clutch permitting the arcuate relationship therebetween to be selectively changed for ease in operation.

A method of making single-turn, planar, circular coils is disclosed in which a substantially linear rodlike element is cut and bent into a circle of predetermined radius through successive bending and cutting steps. The circular ring is formed from an element which has been precut in the shape of an elongated ''''C'''' which has, at each of its ends, a 90* bend to a radius of curvature substantially equal to the predetermined radius.

A self-furring welded wire mesh for reinforcing generally planar concrete and stucco structures is formed of a matrix of longitudinally and transversely extending wires disposed about a first common plane and welded together at their intersections. A selected plurality of the longitudinally extending wires each define a plurality of generally V-shaped spacing furrs therein extending generally perpendicular to the first plane with the bottoms of the furrs being disposed in a second plane spaced from the first plane a distance substantially equal to one-half of the predetermined thickness of the concrete panel. The spacing furrs in the selected longitudinally extending wires are located so as to be longitudinally and transversely staggered along the mesh. The spacing furrs are formed by pushing portions of the selected longitudinal wire perpendicular to the axis of the wires while holding an upstream portion thereof in a fixed disposition so as to form these without damaging or thinning the wires along the spacing furrs. |

The dies here comprise opposed sets of parallel-elongated members which are arranged for engagement to form component leads. Members at opposite ends of the dies cooperate in pairs to cut axial leads of a component positioned between the dies to prescribed lengths when the dies are engaged. A third member of one die has a slot through one of a pair of opposite sides thereof that are adjacent one end thereof and the component. A second pair of elongated members of the other die are positioned to move adjacent the opposite sides of the third member. When one lead of a component is held against the one end of the third member, with one ends of the second pair of members being proximate the component body and the free end of the one lead, engagement of the dies causes the second pair of members to force a portion of the component body into the slot and the one lead adjacent to the other opposite side of the third member to form the component leads into a hairpin pattern. |

A rod for forming a glow plug is fed between two grooved rollers one of which is rotatable around the other to make a 90* bend in the rod. The rod is then fed to an arcuate die groove of small radius, the groove being carried by a two part die. The bent portion of the rod is clamped in front of the arcuate die groove and a grooved roller is swung orbitally 270* around the arcuate die groove to force the unbent portions of the rod into and around the arcuate die groove, thereby forming a 270* arcuate bend of small radius. The two parts of the die are then separated and the bent rod is removed therefrom.
