l'o all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, JUAN H. linnen, a citizen of the United States, residing at Joliet, in 'the county of Will. and State of Illinois,
5 have invented certain new and useful linprovements in Guards for l,llVire-lvloclr's, of' which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to what are known or termed 'wire blocks, which receive the wire from the drawing die, and on which the wire is coiled.
lt has been found, in practice, that, in the use ot ordinary wire blocks, when the block is iilled and the wire between the bloclr and the drawing die severed or cut, or when the end of the coil is reached, the terminal end is liable to iiy out and injure the Aworkmen by 'lll striking them in the face 0r other part oit thev body, and, in tact, instances are known where the eye of a workman has been put out.
The primary object oiltlre present inven .tion is to 'furnish a guard encircling the lower end of the block, and which will hold and retain the lower coil oit the wound wire on the block, so that when the wire terminates between the block andthe drawing die its ter! minal end will be held against flying outward and causing injury to workmen; and further objects are to encircle the lowerend ot the wire block with a band, having a vertical body and an inturned iiange at the upper end, beneath which flange the coil. oi' wire is retained and held against outward spring; to construct a band. adapted to encircle the lower end ci' the wire bloclr, and. having a vertical body and an inturned lange at the upper end, the body having slots or openings for admitting the wire onto the block, and the inturned flange having an upwardly inclined lipbywhich the wire entering onto theblock will be guided and directed so as to properly wind onto the block; and to iinprove generally the construction and arrangement oi the guard and block for pre-- venting outspring oi the terminal end oi the wire, between the block and the drawing die.
The invention consists in the features of construction and combinations oi' parts hereinafter described and claimed.
ln the drawin s Figure l is a eide elevation oi the wire blocl, the safety guard. therei'or, the drawing die, and a part oi the supporting trame; Fig. 2 a cross section of the parts shown in higv li, with the wire bloeit and its l operating mechanism in full elevation; Fig. 3 a top or plan view oi the safety guard. or band; and Fig. l a detail in perspective, showing the wire opening and guide lip et the safety guard or band.
Tlfe wire block, in the construction shown, has vertical body or side wall l, and an inwardly upwardly inclined wall 2, with an annular ilangc or riin 3 at the top; and the rim has sockets 4i to receive the rods to give an increased. depth Al'or the wire coil. At the lower end o'l' the main body or wall l is a band 5, forming a shoulder 6, and onto which the wire first winds, so asto leave a space between the coil and the main body or wall l oi the block, into which space the gripper enters, as the wire coils and rises on the block. flhe lower end o'l' the block has a vertical *wall 7, with an inclined upper face S on which the wire coming from the drawing die rests, so that the wire, as the bloclr revolves, will be carried up on the block, the last coil forcing the preceding coils upward as usual.
The safety guard or band encircling the lower portion or end of the wire block, con sists oi' a vertical wall 9 and an inwardly and upwardly inclined wall or flange l0, and this guard or band is arranged so as to leave a space between its vertical wall 9 and upper wall or ilange l() and the vertical wall 7 and inclined i'ace 8 at the lower end of the block, as shown in Fig. 2, by which arrangement the last coil oi the wire being wound onto the block. will rest on the upper face 8 and in the corner between the vertical wall 9 and upper wall or flange l() of the safety guard or band, as shown in Fig. 2.
rllhe safety guard or band of the present in vention, encircling the lower portion or end oi the wire block, guides and holdsthe wire and prevents any outspring oi the last coil, when the wire terminates between the block and drawing die, with the result that the last coil is held on thc block, when the end is reached, and cannot uncoil-and spring or ily outward so as to cause injury to the workmen around. the bloclr or. an adjoining block.
The sai'ety guard or band' ci'. the present invention has formed in its vertical wall 9 and through its upper wall or flange l0, an open ing or vpassage-1l on opposite sides, as shown i Wen Hnimfn in."
