Abstract
Abstract A rod coil press having a coil carrying arm swinging to and from loading, compacting and unloading positions. The arm is Y-shaped in cross section and one part thereof is extensible to a coildiameter-controlling position and retractable to a coil-release position. A compactor unit shifts toward and from the arm which interfits therewith in compacting position. A strapping assembly is shiftable between retracted and operative positions and has a plurality of strapping mechanisms. Strap guides are carried by the coil carrying arm and the compactor unit and cooperate with the strapping mechanisms to apply a plurality of straps through the eye of the coil and around the exterior of the coil to be tensioned and sealed by the strapping mechanisms.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A rod coil press comprising an elongated frame, a coil carrier assembly mounted at one end of the frame to swing laterally, said carrier assembly including a horizontal carrier arm projecting from a vertical face plate and mounting multiple strap tracks, a compactor assembly traversing said frame and including a vertical multiple-part compactor plate confronting said face plate, said compactor assembly having a passage accommodating interfitting relation of said carrier arm therein as said compactor assembly moves to compact a coil on said arm between said compactor plate and said face plate, multiple strap tracks carried by said compactor each complementing a strap track on said carrier assembly, means for advancing and retracting said compactor assembly, and means for swinging said coil carrier assembly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
A rod coil press comprising an elongated frame, a coil carrier assembly mounted at one end of the frame to swing laterally, said carrier assembly including a horizontal carrier arm projecting from a vertical face plate and mounting multiple strap tracks, a compactor assembly traversing said frame and including a vertical multiple-part compactor plate confronting said face plate, said compactor assembly having a passage accommodating interfitting relation of said carrier arm therein as said compactor assembly moves to compact a coil on said arm between said compactor plate and said face plate, multiple strap tracks carried by said compactor each complementing a strap track on said carrier assembly, means for advancing and retracting said compactor assembly, and means for swinging said coil carrier assembly.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
74 words
A rod coil press as defined in claim 1, wherein each strap track of said coil carrier assembly and of said compactor assembly includes a curved portion, and strapping means for advancing a strap through each pair of complementary strap tracks to pass through the eye of a coil and thence around the coil to define a loop encircling a part of the coil and positioned in a plane substantially radial of said coil.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
A rod coil press as defined in claim 7, wherein said strapping means are carried by and shiftable longitudinally on said frame.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
37 words
A rod coil press as defined in claim 7, wherein said strapping means includes a carriage shiftable longitudinally on said frame and a plurality of strapping mechanisms carried by said carriage and shiftable transversely of said frame.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
34 words
A rod coil press as defined in claim 7, wherein a strapping assembly shiftable on said frame mounts said strapping means, and means independent of said compactor advancing means for shifting said strapping assembly.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
77 words
A rod coil press as defined in claim 7, wherein said carrier arm has divergent plates defining a structure of Y-shape in cross section, said compactor assembly has longitudinal openings therein providing lateral access to portions of said arm between said divergent arm plates which are received in the compactor assembly, and a strapping assembly longitudinally shiftable on said frame mounts said strapping means, each strapping means being located adjacent a longitudinal opening of said compactor assembly.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
57 words
A rod coil press as defined in claim 7, wherein a strapping assembly mounts said strapping means and includes a carriage traversing said frame and a plurality of spaced strapping means shiftably mounted on said carriage for substantially radial movement relative to the axis of the coil on the carrier arm when positioned adjacent to said coil.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
33 words
A rod coil press as defined in claim 1, and means for expanding said carrier arm to control the inner diameter of a coil as it is compacted while mounted on said arm.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
34 words
A rod coil press as defined in claim 1, wherein said carrier arm comprises three elongated plates positioned in centrally converging planes, and means movably mounting one of said plates transversely in its plane.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
58 words
A rod coil press as defined in claim 1, wherein said carrier arm comprises an eLongated plate of V-shape in cross section with its opposite parts extending divergently upwardly from the central part thereof, guide means projecting downwardly from said central part, a sizing plate shiftable vertically on said guide means, and means for shifting said sizing plate.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
