An apparatus for twisting two or more electrical conductors into a single cable, each of the conductors having a portion of their insulation stripped at each end. Wires of a desired length are cut and stripped and fed through a twist die having a belled entry to a point where the wires are gripped in a nip formed between a pinch roll and a power roll. These rolls are mounted so as to be swung about the longitudinal axis of the wires so as to twist the wires together into a single cable. A manifold and air supply system is provided so as to prevent lateral swinging of the twisted cable as it passes from the rollers to a wire guide from which the completed cable is dropped into a wire tray. |

This invention comprehends torsional strengthening of two-phase metal materials. One application of the torsionally strengthened material is in the field of springs wherein the energy storage capacity is increased. The invention provides for methods and processes for increasing the torsional strength of two-phase metal materials. Also comprehended is an apparatus that provides the increased torsional strength by its novel combination of machines. |

Apparatus for forming twisted pairs of electrical conductor wire cut to predetermined lengths and having one wire end of a pair longitudinally offset from the adjacent end of the other wire of the pair. The apparatus includes plural wire preparation units which operate to cut predetermined lengths of wire and strip insulation from one or both ends of each wire. The wire preparation units are operable to feed prepared wires to a rotary wire carrier which includes a plurality of pairs of side by side elongated wire receiving tubes. The wire carrier is rotatably indexable from a wire receiving position to a position where a wire offsetting device comprising a fluid operated clamp and linear actuator operates to longitudinally offset one wire of a pair of wires prior to a twisting operation. The wire carrier is further indexable to a position wherein a pair of wires becomes engaged with a wire tensioning device and the adjacent ends of a pair of wires are gripped by a twisting and pulling apparatus. The twisting and pulling apparatus includes a linearly movable carriage having a pair of rotatable gripping jaws which grip adjacent ends of a pair of wires and withdraw the wires from the wire carrier tubes through the tensioning device while rotating. The combined linear and rotary movement of the gripping jaws is controlled to impart a predetermined number of twists to a wire pair. |

BARRETT R |
Apparatus for making artificial branches, brushes, etc., from a plurality of filaments held between a pair of twisted wires. Comprises a picker device, the peripheral surface of which is advanceable in a predetermined direction. The picker device is adapted to pick up and contain a plurality of separate bundles of filaments, the filaments being disposed transversely of the direction of movement of the surface. The peripheral surface has a continuous slot or space therein, this slot being parallel to the direction of advancement of the peripheral surface. The slot or space is adapted to receive the lower of the pair of wires, which wire extends outwardly from the exit end of the peripheral surface under the filaments. The apparatus further comprises means for feeding a plurality of filaments to the picker device, drive means for advancing the peripheral surface, means for guiding the second or upper wire into position above the lower wire at the exit end of the picker device, independent drive means for advancing these wires, and means for twisting the wires together.

GELARDI J |
Two or more wires are passed over wire guides as they are pulled and twisted together by a rotating chuck mounted on a moving carriage. A strip of fringe material is fed between the wires to form bristles. The fringe material passes between two or more fringe material guides which intermittently hold the fringe material and break it to produce a length of twisted wires having segments of fringe material with gaps between them held between the wires. The lengths of twisted wires are then cut at points located within the gaps to make, for example, branches for artificial trees or parts of brushes.

GRANDY ANDREW J |
Apparatus for forming a wire for use in a wire gun in which pairs of rollers are provided to twist the wire in its soft condition beyond its elastic limit prior to heat treating and stress relieving the wire. Additional pairs of rollers are provided to reverse the twist in the wire below the elastic limit of the wire to a flat wire condition for winding into a coil upon a reel having a locking slot. The wire thus formed is subjected to but a single stress below the elastic limit of the wire and the tendency of the wire to fracture is eliminated. The wire has the capacity to store a maximum of torsional energy.

PALMS JOSEPH X |
A wire twisting tool that is used with and powered by a standard nutrunner. The twisting tool bolts onto the nutrunner and has a radially slotted twisting gear to receive the wires to be twisted. The slotted gear is rotated through intermediate gearing driven by the driver of the nutrunner. The nutrunner is of the right angle drive type, so that the axis of its driver is parallel to the axis of the twisting gear.

HAND HELD GUN FROM WHICH WIRE IS EJECTED FOR ENTANGLEMENT OF ENEMY PERSONNEL, LAYING COMMUNICATION WIRES OVER INACCESSIBLE TERRAIN, AND THE LIKE. THE WIRE IS INITIALLY TWISTED IN ONE DIRECTION TO PLACE A TORSIONAL STRESS THEREON. IT IS THEN HEATED AND QUENCHED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT SET TO THE WIRE WHICH IS THEN TWISTED IN AN OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO PLACE ANOTHER TORSIONAL STRESS THEREON WHICH SUPPLIES THE FORCE NECESSARY FOR EJECTING IT FROM THE GUN.
