Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
Apparatus for pressing and binding bundles of wire which are delivered in a continuous succession from a loop collector connected at the output end of a wire rolling or rod mill, comprising a loading station for receipt of the rough bundles from the loop collector, a pressing and binding station, a discharge station, a rotary table for transporting the bundles from one station to another, the pressing and binding station being disposed outside the periphery of the rotary table and movable carriages for receiving the bundles, which carriages are movable from the rotary table into the individual stations and from the latter onto the rotary table when the latter is in a corresponding position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
Apparatus for pressing and binding bundles of wire which are delivered in a continuous succession from a loop collector connected at the output end of a wire rolling or rod mill, comprising a loading station for receipt of the rough bundles from the loop collector, a pressing and binding station, a discharge station, a rotary table for transporting the bundles from one station to another, the pressing and binding station being disposed outside the periphery of the rotary table and movable carriages for receiving the bundles, which carriages are movable from the rotary table into the individual stations and from the latter onto the rotary table when the latter is in a corresponding position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein a second stand-by pressing and binding station is provided outside the periphery of the rotary table and spaced from the other stations.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein a substitute carriage is provided adjacent the table which is movable onto the rotary table.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 3 wherein a displaceable frame is provided at the discharge station adjacent the table for bringing the substitute carriage into position at the discharge station for movement of the substitute carriage onto the rotary table.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein a tiltable table is provided at the discharge station for tilting the bundles from the vertical to the horizontal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 5 in which the tiltable table is pivoted to a displaceable frame at the discharge station and a substitute carriage is provided on said displaceable frame.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the several stations are disposed about the rotary table and are offset relative to one another by the same angle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
43 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 in which drive devices for the carriages are provided on the rotary table and are couplable to and releasable from the carriages, the number of drive devices provided being equal in number to the number of stations.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 8, in which each of the drive devices has a radially disposed actuator cylinder secured adjacent the center of the rotary table.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
47 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 8 in which the ends of the drive devices facing the respective carriages have a vertical guide for the wire loops, and the ends of the carriages remote from the respective drive devices are provided with further guides for the wire loops.
