Abstract

A flyer bow machine for twinning or twisting wire or cable is provided in which a moving carrier strip is provided on the flyer bow. The carrier strip moves along the bow in the same direction as the wire or cable is traveling, and preferably, moves at the same speed as the wire or cable. As a result, tension on the wire or cable as it passes though the flyer bow machine is reduced. Thus, higher throughput rates of wire or cable, or improved quality of wire or cable, can be achieved.

Claims (12)

1. A flyer bow machine for twisting or twinning wires or cables having a rotatable bow section along which a wire or cable travels longitudinally during the twisting or twinning operation, and further comprising a carrier strip extending along a longitudinal surface of said bow against which the wire or cable travels, and a carrier strip drive mechanism which moves said carrier strip in the direction that said wire or cable travels.
2. A flyer bow machine as claimed in Claim 1 wherein said carrier strip travels at a speed which is within 5% of the speed that said wire or cable is traveling.
3. A flyer bow machine as claimed in Claim 1 wherein said carrier strip travels at a speed which is within 1% of the speed that said wire or cable is traveling.
4. A flyer bow machine as claimed in Claim 1 wherein said carrier strip travels at a speed which is within 0.1% of the speed that said wire or cable is traveling.
5. A flyer bow machine as claimed in Claim 1 wherein said bow has an inside surface and an outside surface, and said carrier strip and said wire or cable travel in the same direction along the inside surface of said bow.
6. A flyer bow machine as claimed in Claim 5 wherein said carrier strip travels in an opposite direction along the outside surface of said bow relative to its direction of travel along the inside surfaced said bow.
7. A flyer bow machine as claimed in Claim 1 wherein said carrier strip passes through a pulley positioned adjacent to each end of the bow so as to move said carrier strip from one side of the bow to the other.
8. A flyer bow machine as claimed in Claim 7 wherein at least one of said pulleys is a drive pulley connected to a motorized propulsion means, which acts to propel said carrier strip.
9. A flyer bow machine as claimed in Claim 8 wherein said motorized propulsion means comprises an electric motor connected to said drive pulley.
10. A flyer bow machine as claimed in Claim 9 wherein said electric motor is inter connected to said drive pulley through a differential gear box.
11. A flyer bow machine comprising a flyer bow having opposing ends, an inside surface and an outside surface, a carrier strip which travels in one direction on the inside surface of said bow, and in the opposite direction on the outside surface of said bow, pulleys positioned adjacent the ends of said bow. for moving said carrier strip from one surface of said bow to the other, and drive means for propelling at least one of said pulleys, and thus propelling said carrier strip.
12. A flyer bow machine as claimed in Claim 11 additionally comprising a tensioner for maintaining an essentially constant tension on said carrier strip.
