Wire twisting machine for cable making - has a curved groove with guide cams allowing horizontal or vertical working

摘要

Machine for twisting wires into strands has a guide running from the periphery of a rotating twisting disc attached to a curved holder. The guide has a curved groove with spaced guide cams for the passage of the wire strand. The guide cams have rounded surfaces to limit the alignment of the wire strand, and follow a path round a given radius curve. The design gives a simple construction for twisting wire strands, giving a double function in one unit which can be used in a horizontal or vertical model.
