An improved method and apparatus of forming and assembling two-part merchandise display hooks, including new design features of the hook itself, enable two-part hooks to be manufactured and assembled at extremely low cost. Wire from a continuous length is gripped and bent to form the outer portion of the hook. The wire is then severed and bent in a single operation to form a hook-mounting portion. While the severed wire remains gripped by its shaped outer end, a preoriented and guided base member is applied over the just-formed mounting portion of the wire. A retractable bend-forming member is withdrawn when the base member is applied to the wire, to enable the bent portion to be fully received within the plastic base. Major manufacturing economies are realized. |

A machine for transforming zig-zag wire to slotted tubular form ready for use as a binding element comprising means for feeding a strip of zig-zag wire longitudinally, means for momentarily arresting the feed of each prong of the wire strip as it reaches a shaping station, means for clamping each prong at that station and means for shaping each clamped prong into the desired configuration characterised in that the clamp is operated by clamp actuation means at least twice for each revolution of rotary feed means. This has the advantage that the clamping means may be operated at much lower speeds than the feed means and the shaping means thus allowing the output ot be increased by at least fifty percent over known machines with no danger of overheating. |

A binding comb shaping device for producing profile-bent binding combs for comb binding of sheet layers has rotary bending tools with bending sliding edges and/or in the form of rolling members, which, between advance cycles of the binding comb blank, move past shaping edges of shaping anvils in arcuate paths and thereby in a substantially vibration-free manner and at high working speeds give the binding comb blank its profile shape. |

Stacks of marginally perforated paper sheets are assembled with prefabricated C-shaped binding strips at timely spaced intervals by moving two or more stacks simultaneously to a binding station so that the perforations of their sheets form a row, moving at the same intervals a strand of coherent strips lengthwise and cutting groups of discrete strips from the leader of the strand at a severing station which is remote from the binding station, transferring successive groups from the severing station to the binding station including moving the strips of each group sideways at least once and spreading the strips of each group by moving at least some strips of the group axially and away from the neighboring strips, and inserting the strips of a group into and closing the strips of such group in the perforations of stacks of sheets at the binding station. The apparatus can make stationery articles with one-piece binders or with so-called skip binders consisting of two or more spaced-apart coaxial binders. The devices which close the stips at the binding station also serve to deliver the groups of strips to the binding station, either from the spreading station or from an intermediate station which is located between the spreading and binding stations. |

An apparatus for introducing a coiled binding wire directly into a row of holes in a pack of sheets comprises a pneumatic motor connected directly to a winding spindle which coils the binding wire and introduces the coil into the row of holes, the motor driving the spindle intermittently. A valve for controlling the air supply to the motor is arranged fast therewith. |

An apparatus is provided for producing coils in the course of a process for the production of binding coils which are to be introduced directly into a row of holes in a pack of sheets. The apparatus has a winding spindle which is surrounded by the coil produced, from which the coil lifts when the front end of the coil is stopped, the winding spindle being driven continuously. A cutting device, for example in the form of scissors is provided for cutting the coil. A device for stopping the front end of the coil periodically is provided between the winding spindle and the cutting device, the stopping device being arranged to operate with a timing correlated with the operation of the cutting device. |

A machine which converts a strand of wire into a body of meandering shape has two carriers which rotate about parallel axes and respectively carry annuli of pins. One annulus of pins surrounds the other annulus of pins, and each pin of one annulus is adjacent to a pin of the other annulus. When the carriers rotate, neighboring pins of the two annuli move toward each other during one-half of each orbital movement about the respective axes and away from each other during the other half of each orbital movement. A looping device winds the wire alternately about the oncoming pins of the inner and outer annuli while the neighboring pins move away from each other whereby the wire is converted into a meandering body and the wire portions between successive pins are stretched to assume a predetermined shape. The meandering body is stripped off the pins while the neighboring pins move nearer to each other. The meandering body can be used as a starting material for binders which connect the sheets of note books, calendars or the like. |

A method for producing piles of U-shaped clips as used for example to close the ends of sausages or the like. A plurality of wire lengths are formed into a band of parallel adjacent wire lengths, to one side of which is applied a layer of material with a thermo-plastic on the side thereof engaging the band. The wire/layer of material combination is then heated to adhere the wire lengths to the layer of material via the thermo-plastic. The wire/layer of material combination is subsequently cut perpendicular to the lengths of wires and bent to form the clips. |

A length of wire of uniform composition throughout has end portions of circular cross section bent into the form of mutually interengageable loops with free ends. The loops can be interengaged and then drawn into a knot by endwise tension applied to the wire. The portion of the wire intermediate the end portions is of uniform oval cross section of such less area than the circular cross section of the end portion that, when the wire is subjected to a direct tensile pull, its load capacity approaches more nearly the load capacity of the knot than in prior wire bale ties. The longest cross sectional dimension of the intermediate portion of the wire is juxtaposed flatwise against the bale in the installed condition of the tie. |

A machine for making zigzag wire binders for notebooks and the like. A rotating disk with projections bends the wire and causes the ends to ride up an internal thread. A coacting wheel with intermittent slots further bends the wire halfway between the first bends to form the zigzag. The latter passes under a top die and between side dies to form a partially curved zigzag binder for entry in the holes of the notebook sheets.

Apparatus and method for automatically producing bent wire clips comprises a vertical and horizontal wire straightener which receives and straightens a continuous length of wire, a hitch feed assembly through which the wire passes and which is adjustable to measure and intermittently feed the exact length of wire required for the various sized clips, a wire cutoff assembly, a wire-forming means and a grommet inserting means. As the wire piece is cut off from a length of continuous wire it is gripped by a pair of upper and lower coacting pressure plates which clamp a central portion of the wire piece and secure it during formation of the clip ends. To form a spiral end standoff clip that may be snapped on a cylindrical pole the wire forming means comprises a rotating and laterally movable spiral twist winder which forms the one end of the wire piece about a twist wind arbor while a grommet hook has been formed on the forward end of the wire piece. An insulating grommet may be supplied by a feed system and pushed into the grommet hook by a synchronized air ram. The upper and lower pressure plates now release the finished product and the same is blown off the spiral twist winder onto an extension arm from which it may be counted and packaged.
