Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for disposing of the terminal end of a wound wire in a wire winding machine includes a wire shifting rod movable between two bobbins disposed in parallel fashion, a cover attached to the wire shifting rod which serves to cover the wound bobbin, and a cutter attached to the cover. The cutter severs the terminal end of the wire into chips which are prevented from splashing due to the confinement within the cover and the tension required to sever the terminal end portion of the wire also prevents the occurrence of slack within the wound wire. Auxiliary covers may be attached to to the wire shifting rod and an auxiliary rod and an air nozzle may forcefully dispose of the generated chips.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
Apparatus for disposing of a wire end terminal within a wire winding machine which continuously winds a wire by alternately utilizing two bobbins rotatably disposed in parallel fashion and having a plurality of wire shifting rods interposed between said bobbins, comprising: said wire shifting rods being extendable and retractable in a direction parallel to the rotational axes of said bobbins; cover means for each of said bobbins for covering one end of each of said bobbins which is attached to one of said wire shifting rods and which has a slit means provided therein for permitting said wire being wound to enter the vicinity of said bobbin being wound; and a cutter attached to each of said cOver means for cutting said wire end terminal into chips.
