APPARATUS FOR AND A METHOD OF DEPLOYING WIRES

摘要

The apparatus comprises a roller (25) and a templet (6) having a working surface (8) with wire deploying grooves (26) therein, extending from a wire staging surface (14). The roller (25) can be advanced towards one end (12) of the templet (6) to roll each of wires (2) into one of the grooves (26).
In order to improve the ease with which the wires (2) can be positioned in the grooves (26), the grooves (26) originate at distances from the staging surface (14) which progressively increase laterally of the rolling direction, whereby an outermost wire (2) first positioned in a groove (26) acts as a stop for positioning the next outermost wire (2) in its groove.
