A wire piece forming device includes a wire piece dispenser with a cutting mechanism, a receiver member which receives wire pieces from the dispenser and a take-over member. The wire piece dispenser includes a feed device for the stepwise feeding of the wire. The device includes feed wheels which are driven intermittently by a four-bar linkage and a freewheel. A wire guide member is provided to ensure that the beginning of the wire is reliably inserted into a groove-like recess in a receiver member. The groove-like recess is open at its bottom. Before a wire piece is cut off by a cutter, the groove-like recess is closed by a take-over member moving past the opening of the recess. The take-over member then takes the separated wire piece and carries it away.
