Abstract
Abstract For fixing the reversal points of the twist direction in SZ twisted elements of electric cables and lines to be twisted, a device is provided which runs along in sections with the continuously moved material to be twisted and includes clamping tongs for gripping the twisted assembly and an associated device for joining the elements to be twisted together. The clamping tongs and the joining device are arranged between the stationary twisting tool and the following stationary torsion stopper. The device for joining the elements to be twisted together preferably comprises rotatable clamping tongs which may be arranged between two non-rotating clamping tongs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
In an SZ twisting device for elements of electric cables and lines to be twisted comprising at least one rotating twisting tool which is fixed at the exit of the twisting device, a stationary torsion stopper following the rotating twisting tool, and a device for influencing the reversal points of the twist direction in the material to be twisted arranged between the twisting tool and the torsion stopper, the improvement comprising: (a) the device for influencing the reversal points comprising clamping tongs which grip the elements to be twisted sectionally, said clamping tongs supported for movement back and forth in the direction of travel of the material to be twisted; and (b) means associated with said clamping tongs for joining the elements to be twisted to each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
In an SZ twisting device for elements of electric cables and lines to be twisted comprising at least one rotating twisting tool which is fixed at the exit of the twisting device, a stationary torsion stopper following the rotating twisting tool, and a device for influencing the reversal points of the twist direction in the material to be twisted arranged between the twisting tool and the torsion stopper, the improvement comprising: (a) the device for influencing the reversal points comprising clamping tongs which grip the elements to be twisted sectionally, said clamping tongs supported for movement back and forth in the direction of travel of the material to be twisted; and (b) means associated with said clamping tongs for joining the elements to be twisted to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
