VORRICHTUNG UND VERFAHREN ZUM MECHANISCHEN ABBEIZEN VON METALLDRAEHTEN

摘要

An apparatus for cleaning small diameter metal wires employing two sets of brushes arranged in pairs on the sides of the wire advancing into the apparatus. The respective sets of brushes each are at perpendicular planes to one another and define an enclosed sector of 180 DEG of the wire to be treated. The tips of the brushes co-act with the advancing wire to cause cleaning. A counterweight pressure assembly urges the brushes against the wire without promoting spreading of the wire elements of the brushes as the brushes wear out.
