PCT No. PCT/GB93/01816 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 27, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 27, 1995 PCT Filed Aug. 25, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/05445 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 17, 1994A length of wire is introduced to a coiling station to form a wire coil which then is fed to a cutting station where the free end of the coil engages a stop. Cutting means sequentially move between non-cutting and cutting positions to cut rings from the coil. The rings are displaced from the cutting station onto a support which includes a portion which receives the gaps in the rings to prevent tangling of the rings.
