A binding machine includes a wire feeding unit, a curl forming unit, a cutting unit, and a binding unit. The binding unit includes a locking member that includes a first hook and a second hook and that locks the wire by moving the first hook toward the second hook. The locking member includes a locking part that locks the wire in a state in which the first hook has been moved toward the second hook, and an unlocking part that makes it possible for the first hook to be movable away from the second hook with such an amount of movement that the locked wire does not come off between the first hook and the second hook.

An orthodontic wire bending device includes a providing part, a bending unit and a cutting part. The providing part is configured to provide a wire. The bending unit is disposed at a front side of the providing part, and includes a fixing part and a bending part. The fixing part is configured to fix the wire. The bending part is configured to bend the wire fixed by the fixing part. The cutting part is configured to cut the wire bent by the bending part. The bending part includes a bending module, and the bending module is rotated along a circumferential direction or moves along a direction to make contact with at least one side of the wire for bending the wire.

A binding machine includes a magazine including an accommodation part configured to accommodate a reel, and a lid part configured to cover the accommodation part to be openable and closable, a wire feeding unit configured to feed the wire in a forward direction in which the wire is pulled out from the magazine and in a reverse direction in which the wire is pulled back to the magazine, a curl forming unit configured to form a path along which the wire fed in the forward direction is to be wound around an object, a binding unit configured to twist the wire fed in the reverse direction and wound on the object, and a plurality of regulating portions configured to regulate opening of the lid part from a closed state in which the accommodation part is closed by the lid.

A binding machine includes a magazine configured to accommodate a wire, a wire feeding unit configured to feed the wire in a forward direction in which the wire is pulled out from the magazine and to the magazine, a drive unit configured to drive the wire feeding unit, a curl forming unit configured to form a path along which the wire fed in the forward direction is to be wound around an object, a binding unit configured to twist the wire fed in the reverse direction and wound on the object by the wire feeding unit, and a controller configured to control the drive unit. The controller is configured to change a feeding speed of the wire by controlling a rotational speed of the drive unit based on a state of the wire in the magazine.

An apparatus for treating metal wire by multiple reverse bending and associated methods for using the apparatus are disclosed. The first roller has a first roller diameter, is followed by N1 intermediate rollers with intermediate roller diameters and ends with an exit roller with an exit roller diameter. The exit roller is larger than the first roller and any one roller in the sequence of rollers has a roller diameter that is not smaller than the preceding roller in the sequence. The progressively larger diameters impose a well-controlled, gradually decreasing curvature to the wire resulting in a cast controlled wire. By folding the wire path together, a compact arrangement is obtained accommodating the increasingly larger rollers. A method to operate the apparatus is also described that allows for an easy adjustment of the apparatus in function of wire thickness.

Provided is a device for manufacturing a stator, the device including a winding jig configured to wind a coil and to manufacture a winding coil, and an insertion jig configured to receive the winding coil from the winding jig and to insert the winding coil into a stator core, wherein the winding jig comprises a body extending along a longitudinal direction (L1), a power supply unit configured to make the body revolve around a central shaft of the body, and a protrusion formed on a surface of the body.

A system for manufacturing a string of pocketed coil springs comprising: a coil-forming subsystem that produces two coil springs; a spring transporter subsystem that receives the two coil springs at a first position and conveys the two coil springs to a second position; a spring compressor subsystem that compresses the two coil springs; a fabric-folding subsystem that receives a piece of fabric and folds the fabric to create an open side; a spring inserter subsystem that receives the two compressed coil springs and inserts the two compressed coil springs between top and bottom surfaces of a folded piece of fabric; two welder subsystems that form first and second welds between top and bottom surfaces of the folded piece of fabric, the first welds and the second welds forming a plurality of pockets in the fabric, each of the plurality of pockets comprising a compressed coil spring.

Systems and methods for producing mesh from wires or rods with programmed changeable steps for the longitudinal and transverse wires. The longitudinal wires (1) and the transverse wires (12) may be fed from coils or be precut. The longitudinal wires are fed in receptacles (2) on carriers (3) with the carriers being found on prefeeder carrier (4), a feeder carrier (6) with grippers (7) transports them towards the welding heads (10) and the produced mesh (20) is received by a mesh carrier (14). The carriers (3) with the receptacles (2) for the longitudinal wires on the prefeeder carrier (4), the grippers for the longitudinal wires (7) at the feeder carrier (6) and the welding heads (10) are displaced in the direction of the transverse wire without restrictions, generally in an unrestricted fashion, so as to correspond to the longitudinal wires being subjected to welding. The transverse wires are fed towards the welding heads to be welded with the longitudinal wires. The machine produces meshes with openings, grouping the longitudinal wires in groups and feeding the groups of longitudinal wires towards the welding heads, adjusting the position of the related mechanisms to the position of the longitudinal wires.

A multifunction work apparatus includes a drawing and yielding assembly and at least one of either a wire guide assembly, a straightening assembly, or a finishing assembly. The drawing and yielding assembly includes a contrast roll, rotatable idly around its axis of rotation, and at least two motorized rolls positioned on the periphery of said contrast roll.
