摘要 In general, this invention relates to a device which automatically binds the loose end of a roll of the metal wire netting, commonly known as ''''chicken wire,'''' to the roll itself; more specifically, it relates to apparatus which locates the final strands of wire and bends them back into the roll, thereby securing the free end.
权利要求
1. A device for binding a roll of wire mesh, comprising mechanical fingers located adjacent to the roll, and means for activating the fingers to push the trailing strands into the roll.
2. A binding device as recited in claim 1, in which the mechanical fingers are operative as a unit to form a bending member.
3. A binding device as recited in claim 1, which also has a holding member for locating and holding the trailing strands during the activation of the fingers.
4. A binding device as recited in claim 3, wherein the holding member has one edge formed with protrusions, the protrusions being spaced to engage the openings of the trailing end of the woven wire as said edge approaches an unbound roll of wire in opposition to the motion of said trailing end, and wherein the mechanical fingers are formed as parts of a bending member and each finger presents a surface facing toward a corresponding protrusion, said surface having a motion along a path extending from outside the roll into the roll in front of the protrusions and under the protrusions.
5. A binding device as recited in claim 4 in which the holding member is a flat plate of generally rectangular configuration, one edge of which is formed with the said protrusions.
6. A binding device as recited in claim 4 in which the protrusions are wedge-shaped when viewed radially of the roll and having a pointed end which enters the roll first.
7. A binding device as recited in claim 4 in which each protrusion is equipped with a tooth attached to its lower side and extending from the protrusion and forming with the protrusion a corner in which a piece of bent wire might rest.
8. A binding device as recited in claim 1 in which the fingers have concave surfaces.
9. A binding device as recited in claim 4 in which each finger has a concave surface directed toward the protrusion.
10. A binding device as recitEd in claim 4 in which the bending member performs its motion by swinging on a single pivot located above the holding member.
11. A binding device as recited in claim 4 in which the bending member performs its motion in two modes, first swinging on a pivot located above the holding member, and secondly moving radially of that pivot.
12. A binding device as recited in claim 1 in which the operation is controlled by a remote operator.
