Method and device for guiding, for a continuous supply of wires towards a dispensing barrel

摘要

The subject of the present invention is a guide device for a continuous supply of wires (16) from a group of individual storage devices (1) of each of these wires towards a rotary dispensing barrel (5) comprising N channels (14) arranged in the form of a cylinder for the conveying and seizing of these wires and making it possible to select and unreel specific lengths of a single one of these wires at a time in the entry conduit (13) of any machine (12) for treating the said lengths of these wires. The said device comprises nozzles (17) for guiding the wires (16) which are distributed in a surface (S) perpendicular to the plane (P) tangent to the cylinder formed by the said channels (14) and passing through the axis (xx') of the entry conduit (13), the said nozzles (17), which are at least equal in number to the number N of channels (14), being arranged symmetrically with respect to the plane (R) perpendicular to the plane (P) and passing through the axis (xx') and following parallel lines which are themselves distributed symmetrically with respect to the plane (P). <IMAGE>
