Devices for wrapping and removing wrapped connections

Claim 1

A DEVICE FOR WRAPPING TURNS OF WIRE AS A CONNECTION ON A TERMINAL AND FOR INCREASING THE DIAMETERS OF SAID TURNS WHEN IT IS DESIRED TO REMOVE THE WIRE WRAPPING FROM THE TERMINAL, SAID DEVICE COMPRISING A SPINDLE WHICH IS ROTATABLE ABOUT ITS LONGITUDIANAL AXIS AND WHICH HAS AN OUTER END SURFACE, SAID SPINDLE HAVING A HOLE WHICH EXTENDS LONGITUDINALLY OF THE SPINDLE FROM SAID OUTER END SURFACE AND WHICH IS ADAPTED TO RECEIVE THE TERMINAL, AND SAID SPINDLE ALSO HAVING A GROOVE WHICH EXTENDS LONGITUDINALLY OF THE SPINDLE FROM SAID OUTER END SURFACE AND WHICH IS ADAPTED TO RECEIVE A WIRE WHICH IS TO BE WRAPPED AROUND SAID TERMINAL, SAID GROOVE BEING OFFSET FROM SAID HOLE SO THAT WHEN SAID SPINDLE IS ROTATED IN ONE DIRECTION RELATIVE TO SAID TERMINAL SAID WIRE IS DRAWN FROM SAID GROOVE AND IS WRAPPED AROUND SAID TERMINAL, A SLEEVE WHICH ENCIRCLES AND IS A LONGITUDINALLY SLIDING FIT ON SAID SPINDLE AND WHICH HAS AN OUTER END, MEANS TO RETAIN SAID SLEEVE IN A FIRST POSITION IN WHICH THE OUTER END OF SAID SLEEVE PROJECTS OUTWARDS BEYOND THE OUTER END SURFACE OF SAID SPINDLE A SUFFICIENT DISTANCE TO SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETELY ENCOMPASS THE WRAPPED CONNECTION MEANS TO RETAIN SAID SLEEVE LIES OND POSITION IN WHICH THE OUTER END OF SAID SLEEVE LIES IN SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME PLANE AS THE OUTER END SURFACE OF SAID SPINDLE, A PROJECTION FORMED ON THE OUTER END SURFACE OF SAID SPINDLE, AND A RECESS IN THE OUTER SIDE SURFACE OF SAID SPINDLE, SAID RECESS BEING POSITIONED ADJACENT SAID PROJECTION AND EXTENDING REARWARDLY FROM THE OUTER END SURFACE OF SAID SPINDLE AND BEING SHAPED TO RECEIVE THE END OF A WIRE THAT HAS BEEN WRAPPED ON SAID TERMINAL WHEN SAID SPINDLE IS ROTATED IN THE OTHER DIRECTION RELATIVE TO SAID TERMINAL.

Claim 2

A DEVICE FOR WRAPPING TURNS OF WIRE AS A CONNECTION ON A TERMINAL AND FOR INCREASING THE DIAMETERS OF SAID TURNS WHEN IT IS DESIRED TO REMOVE THE WIRE WRAPPING FROM THE TERMINAL, SAID DEVICE COMPRISING A SPINDLE WHICH IS ROTATABLE ABOUT ITS LONGITUDIANAL AXIS AND WHICH HAS AN OUTER END SURFACE, SAID SPINDLE HAVING A HOLE WHICH EXTENDS LONGITUDINALLY OF THE SPINDLE FROM SAID OUTER END SURFACE AND WHICH IS ADAPTED TO RECEIVE THE TERMINAL, AND SAID SPINDLE ALSO HAVING A GROOVE WHICH EXTENDS LONGITUDINALLY OF THE SPINDLE FROM SAID OUTER END SURFACE AND WHICH IS ADAPTED TO RECEIVE A WIRE WHICH IS TO BE WRAPPED AROUND SAID TERMINAL, SAID GROOVE BEING OFFSET FROM SAID HOLE SO THAT WHEN SAID SPINDLE IS ROTATED IN ONE DIRECTION RELATIVE TO SAID TERMINAL SAID WIRE IS DRAWN FROM SAID GROOVE AND IS WRAPPED AROUND SAID TERMINAL, A SLEEVE WHICH ENCIRCLES AND IS A LONGITUDINALLY SLIDING FIT ON SAID SPINDLE AND WHICH HAS AN OUTER END, MEANS TO RETAIN SAID SLEEVE IN A FIRST POSITION IN WHICH THE OUTER END OF SAID SLEEVE PROJECTS OUTWARDS BEYOND THE OUTER END SURFACE OF SAID SPINDLE A SUFFICIENT DISTANCE TO SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETELY ENCOMPASS THE WRAPPED CONNECTION MEANS TO RETAIN SAID SLEEVE LIES OND POSITION IN WHICH THE OUTER END OF SAID SLEEVE LIES IN SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME PLANE AS THE OUTER END SURFACE OF SAID SPINDLE, A PROJECTION FORMED ON THE OUTER END SURFACE OF SAID SPINDLE, AND A RECESS IN THE OUTER SIDE SURFACE OF SAID SPINDLE, SAID RECESS BEING POSITIONED ADJACENT SAID PROJECTION AND EXTENDING REARWARDLY FROM THE OUTER END SURFACE OF SAID SPINDLE AND BEING SHAPED TO RECEIVE THE END OF A WIRE THAT HAS BEEN WRAPPED ON SAID TERMINAL WHEN SAID SPINDLE IS ROTATED IN THE OTHER DIRECTION RELATIVE TO SAID TERMINAL.
