SETT OCH APPARAT FOR ATT SEPARERA I ETT PAKET INGAENDE TRADAR

摘要

A method and an apparatus useful for a group of wires, such as a telecommunication cable including a multiplicity of cores, as when the wires are individually tested for continuity or defective contact. The group of wires are pressed against the outer periphery of a rotating disc formed with a suitable number of notches each dimensioned to accommodate one wire and are forced into the notches one by one while the disc or the wires are being rocked longitudinally of the wires. The wires individually received in the notches are transferred by the rotation of the disc while being confined in the notches by a confining member provided around the disc and facing the outer periphery as slightly spaced apart therefrom. Thus the group of wires can be separated and transferred one after another reliably, efficiently and automatically.
