METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENTWINING OR BUNDLING OF ROD OR BAR SHAPED ARTICLES

摘要

An apparatus for the entwining of a sheaf of rod or bar shaped articles with at least one metal wire (20), the apparatus being adapted so that the two parallel metal wire handling arms (6) may be advanced a predetermined distance on each side of and a small distance past the lower end of a sheaf or articles resting on a supporting plate, the metal wire handling arms (6) together with the metal wire part (20) being able to be returned so far that the middle of the metal wire part (20) engages the one end of the sheaf, and the two ends of the metal wire part (20) being taken with metal wire handling arms (6) backwards along each side of the sheaf and upwards over the other end of the sheaf, and finally, the metal wire handling arms (6) together with the two ends of the metal wire part (20) being caused to rotate around an axis which is parallel with and between the metal wire handling arms (6) in such way that the two ends of the metal wire part (20) are twisted around each other above the other end of the sheaf.
