Definitions

  • My invention relates to the art of manufacturing wire rope, and has for its purpose to obtain a wire rope which will not kink or twist when unwound from the receiving-spool for use.
  • my invention consists in twisting together two or more Wires and then passing the twisted wires through a str. ightening device, giving alternate bends thereto, for the purpose of removing the tendency to kink and contort therefrom before the same are wound upon the receiving-spool, all in one continuous operation.
  • wires meaning single individual wires; but it will be readily seen that o stead of individual wires, wire strands made 7 up of any number of wires are used to form a rope.
  • Figure l represents a side view of a machine adapted to carry out my invention, some of the parts thereof being shown in section to more clearly illustrate the same.
  • Fig. 2 is a top orplan View of the machine shown in Fig. l, the operatingshaft being left out in this figure; and
  • Fig. 3 represents, on an enlarged scale, a cross-section on line a: 1 Fig. 1, looking in the direction of arrow a, same figure.
  • A is the frame oflthe machine, provided with suitable uprights and bearings for the several parts of the machine.
  • B is a large revolving flier for carrying a series of delivery-spools, 0, upon which the individual wires of which the strand is formed,
  • Said spools G revolve with the flier B as the same is revolved to twist together the wires to form the strand, and also revolve independently upon their own axes in the same direction in bearings formed upon the cross-bars D of the frame of the flier B as the wire is drawn off from said spools.
  • the top parts or caps, b, of the bearings for the spools C on the Crossbars D are hinged or pivoted thereto,and held down when the spools are in place by means of a bolt, 11, and nut S, as clearly shown in Fig. 3, the object of which is to allow of the spools or bobbins Cbeing rcadily removed from the flier B for anypurpose.
  • the ends or sides 0 of the spools (J are grooved, as shown in the drawings, for the purpose of holding in place a cord, (7, which passes around one end of each spool and acts, in connection with springs c,attaehed thereto, and which are secured to the flat piecef,held in place on the frame of theflier B by bolts g, passing through the same, (all as clearly shown in Fig. I of the drawings,) asatension device for keeping the wire tight as the spools O revolve and the wire is drawn off therefrom and is operated by tightening or loosening the cord (1 by turning in or out the bolts 7.
  • Theflier l3 revolves in bearings on the frame A, the end 7; extending out beyond the hear ing andhaving a small gear, Z, secured thereto, for meshing with and turning a large gear, 111, secured to a shaft, E, turning in bearings on the frame A to operate, by means of bevel-gears a and 0, the drum F, by means of which the strand is drawn through the machine, and which is secured to ashaft, p, turninginbearings on frame A.
  • A-pulley,G is also secured to the end k of flier 13, which is connected by a belt, q, with a pulley, H, on the shaft T, which is operated by any suitable means.
  • the head or endj of the flier B is made sufficiently large, and is provided with a suitable numberof openings or holes,U, through which the wires pass.
  • the part marked K in the drawings is a revolving wire -straightener of the usual and well-known construction and operation. It may be located at any point on the machine between the dies J, where the twisted strand is formed,and the drawoffd rum F,upon which it is wound.
  • the wire-straightener K (shown in the drawings) has hollow ends '0, which turn in bearings formed in the uprights u on the frame A, the central part of the straightener being larger than the ends, and a pulley, w, being formed at one end, connected by a belt with a pulley, L, on shaft I, by which belt-connection the wire-straightener K is revolved simultaneously with the flier B.
  • Through holes or threaded openings in opposite sides of the straightener K extend adjustable screws :0, between the grooved ends of which the twisted strand or rope passes, the degree of curvature or deflection of the strand being varied as desired by adjusting the screws w.
  • the machine shown in. the drawings adapted to carry out myinvention is designed to make a strand or rope composed of three individual wires; but the same result would be accomplishednamely,the removing of the tendency to kink and contort from the wires after they are twisted togetheri f, instead of single wires, wire strands, or strands made up of any number of wires, were used to form a rope or cable.
  • wire rope which consists in first twisting together two or more wire strands made up of any number of wires, and then passing the twisted strands through a straightening device, for the purpose of removing the tendency to kink and contort therefrom before the same are wound upon the receiving-spool, all in one continuous operation, substantially as set forth, and for the purpose stated.
