UNITED STATES-PATENT o 1c MYMOND KNAIBLE, OF CHICAGO, ILLI NOIS.
WIRE-FEEDING DEVICE.
Original application filed February as, 1926, Serial No. 90,168. Divided and. this application filed my a 2, 1926. Serial No. 120,1a1.
My invention relates to improvements in wire feeding devices, and it consists in the combinations, constructions, and arrangements herein described and claimed.
Thisapplication is a division of my copending application, Serial No. 90,168, filed February 23, 1926.
An object of my invention is to provide a wire feeding device which is especially adapted to feed wires to a coat hanger forming device.
A further object of my invention 1s to provide a device of the type described which will feed only-one wire at a time.
5 A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type described which will drop the wires at predetermined periods during the operation of the device.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this application, in which Figure 1 isa front elevation of the device, and 1 Figure 2 is a section along the line 22 of Figure 1.
In carrying out my invention, I provide a frame 1 having shafts 2, 3 and 4 rotatably mounted thereon. The frame 1 supports a wire container 5 which is adapted to receive wires 6. A disc 7 having a plurality of semi-circular recesses 8 in the peripheral edge thereof is rigidly mounted upon the shaft 3 which is directly beneath the wire container 5.
A gear 9 is rigidly mounted upon the shaft 3 and is in mesh with anidler gear 10 which is mounted upon a shaft 4. The idler 10 is in mesh with a relatively small gear 11 which is rigidly mounted upon the shaft 2. A sprocket wheel 12"is rigidly mounted upon the shaft 2 and is operatively connected to a relatively small sprocket'13 by means of a chain'14. The relatively small sprocket 13 is mounted upon a shaft 15 which has a beveled gear 16 rigidl m'ounted at the forward end thereof.
drive shaft 17 is provided with a pinion 18 which is in mesh with the beveled gear 16.
' Carrying-bars 19 are/disposed beneath the wire container 5 and are adapted to move longitudinally. The carrying bars 19 adapted to engage with the wires and move the wires forwardly as they are dropped upon-the carrying bars 19.
From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood. The wires 6 are first fed into the wire container 5 and the drive shaft17 set in motion. As the disc 7 is operatively connected to the drive shaft 17, the disc will be rotated in '55 are provided with fingers 20 which are" the direction of the arrow-21. The wires 6 drop into the recesses 8 as the disc 7 is rotated, and are held in the recesses by means of aguard 22 until they have reached a point substantially adjacent t-he'fingers 20 upon the carrying bars 19. At this point, they are dropped uponthe carrying bars one at a time and moved forwardly in the direction of the arrow 23. The carrying bars 19 and the disc 7 cooperate in that the carrying bars are in their rearmost position when a wire is dropped thereupon, and the carrying bars move forwardly and return to the rearmost position in time to receive the next wire which is to be dropped thereupon.
I claim 1. A device of the type described comprising means for holding: a plurality of wires, movable bars, fingers disposed .upon
said bars, means for grasping the wires,
and means for holding said wires in engagement with said wire-grasping means, said holding means permitting only one wire to be released at a time, said bars cooperating with said wire-grasping means and said wire-holding means, whereby one wire may be dropped upon said movable bars, and said bars moved forwardly and rearwardly before the next wire is dropped thereupon.
2. A device of the type described comprising means for holding a plurality of wires, a disc having equally spaced apart recesses in the peripheral edge thereof disposed adjacent sald wire-holding means, means for rotating said disc, each of said recesses bein adapted to receive one of the wires w en positioned adjacent said wire-holding means, movable bars, fingers carried by. said movable bars, said movable bars being adapted to move forwardly and rearwardly during the movement of said 5 disc from the positioning of one recess adj acent said wire-holding means to the positioning of the next recess adjacent said wireholding means, and means for holding said wires 1n said recesses whereby the win s will be dropped singlyupon saidlbars in 10 front'of'ssud fingers after said bars have been returned to their rearmost position.
. I RAYMOND KNABLE.
