Automatic multiple wire wrapping machine

Claim 1

AN AUTOMATIC WIRE WRAPPING MACHINE FOR WINDING A PLURALITY OF WIRES AROUND A BASE WIRE AT THE SAME TIME COMPRISING, A PLURALITY OF WIRE WRAPPING GEARS ON A COMMON ROTATIONAL AXIS, EACH SAID GEAR HAVING OPPOSITE SIDES, A HUB PROJECTING AXIALLY ON EITHER SIDE OF EACH SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEAR, A CIRCUMFERENTIAL EDGE, AND A RADIAL SLOT LEADING THROUGH SAID CIRCUMFERENTIAL EDGE AND SAID HUB TO A POINT BEYOND AND INCLUDING THE ROTATIONAL AXIS OF SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEAR; A MACHINE FRAME, PAIRED MOUNTING PLATES ON SAID MACHINE FRAME ON EITHER SIDE OF EACH SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEAR; SAID PLATES HAVING ALIGNED BEARING APERTURES RECEIVING AND ROTATABLY MOUNTING EACH SAID HUB AND ABUTTING THE OPPOSITE SIDES OF EACH SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEAR; EACH SAID MOUNTING PLATE HAVING A RECEIVING SLOT LEADING TO ITS SAID BEARING APERTURE AND ALIGNED PARALLEL RELATIVE TO ONE ANOTHER DEFINING A WIRE RECEIVING MOUTH IN THE MACHINE LEADING TO THE RADIAL SLOT IN EACH SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEAR; SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEARS BEING ROTATABLE TO ALIGN THEIR RADIAL SLOTS WITH THE RECEIVING SLOTS IN SAID PLATES SO THAT A BASE WIRE MOVED RADIALLY SIDEWISE THROUGH SAID PLATE SLOTS ALSO MOVES THROUGH SAID RADIAL SLOTS OF SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEARS SO AS TO TAKE A PROPER WORK POSITION WITH THE AXIS OF THE BASE WIRE LYING ON THE ROTATIONAL AXIS OF SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEARS SO THAT SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEARS MAY ROTATE AROUND SAID BASE WIRE; A DRIVE GEAR ENGAGING EACH SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEAR, A DRIVE SHAFT ROTATABLY MOUNTED ON SAID MACHINE FRAME SUPPORTING SAID DRIVE GEARS, A DRIVE PINION GEAR ON SAID DRIVE SHAFT, A RACK RECIPROCABLY SUPPORTED ON SAID MACHINE FRAME ENGAGING SAID PINION GEAR, A RACK CYLINDER MOUNTED ON SAID MACHINE FRAME HAVING A PISTON ROD CONNECTED TO SAID RACK FOR RECIPROCATING SAID RACK; MOVEMENT OF SAID RACK ROTATING SAID PINION GEAR, DRIVE SHAFT, AND DRIVE GEARS WITH SAID DRIVE GEARS ROTATING SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEARS; AND A RADIALLY POSITIONED AXIALLY PROJECTING WIRE WRAPPING DOG ON EACH SAID HUB ADJACENT THE RADIAL SLOT IN EACH SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEAR; SAID RACK BEING ADJUSTED IN RECIPROCATING MOVEMENT SO THAT AT THE ENDS OF TRAVEL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEARS ARE POSITIONED WITH THEIR RADIAL SLOTS IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE SLOTS IN SAID MOUNTING PLATES SO THAT THE BASE WIRE MAY BE INSERTED AND EXTRACTED RELATIVE TO SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEARS; SAID BASE WIRE BEING INSERTED AND EXTRACTED TOGETHER WITH CROSS-TIE WIRES LYING NORMAL TO THE BASE WIRE WITH THEIR ENDS PROJECTING BEYOND SAID BASE WIRE AND PAST AND IN THE PLANE OF SAID DOGS ON SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEARS; ROTATION OF SAID WIRE WRAPPING GEARS WITH SAID WIRES SO DISPOSED ORBITING SAID DOGS AROUND SAID BASE WIRE WITH SAID DOGS ENGAGING SAID CROSS-TIE WIRES WHILE ORBITING, THEREBY WRAPPING THE EXTENDING ENDS OF SAID CROSS-TIE WIRES AROUND SAID BASE WIRE.
