20050132853, Jun 23, 2005

Filed:

Oct 25, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/973225

Inventors:

Harold Hattersley - Brick NJ, US
Richard Jakubowski - New Castle DE, US

International Classification:

B26D003/00
B26D007/06

US Classification:

083013000, 083371000, 083105000

Abstract:

A module for automatic scrap wire isolating and removal is used in systems such as wire insulation lines for extricating scrap wires while minimally interfering with the mechanized wire insulation process. One such module includes a knife assembly with a knife, a scrap tray with a tilt plate for catching the scrap wire below the knife assembly, an accumulator with curved hooks oriented for catching and accumulating, one at a time, the wire and the scrap wire and rotatable for letting go, one at a time, of the wire and scrap wire, so as to allow the knife to completely separate the scrap wire from the wire. A lifting linkage in this module is operatively engaged with the tilt plate tilting it at an angle sufficient for the isolated scrap wire to slide off, whereby the scrap wire is removed.
