A handheld loop former for beading wire is provided. The loop former comprises a cutting lever, a slotted forming platform, a forming lever, and two scissors links. The cutting lever has a combination shear blade/forming die at its distal end. The slotted forming platform has a medially located slot, a shearing ledger, and a forming stanchion. The forming lever has a second forming die at its distal end. The cutting lever, forming platform at the medially located slot, and forming lever are journaled together with a pivot pin. Each of the forming lever and the cutting lever is journaled to one of the scissors links. Both scissors links are journaled to the forming platform. The sheer blade/forming die passes closely to the shearing ledger and with the second forming die envelops the forming stanchion when the forming lever and cutting lever are urged together. The forming platform is drawn proximally.

A tool device is disclosed for generating a curved terminal from an insulation stripped end of an electrical wire. The tool device includes a first member having a first and a second end the first member having a longitudinal axis. A second member is disposed adjacent to the first member, the second member having a first and a second extremity. The second member defines a further longitudinal axis which is disposed substantially parallel to and spaced from the longitudinal axis of the first member. The arrangement is such that a space is defined between the first member and the second member for the reception therein of the insulation stripped end of the electrical wire. The curved terminal is generated during relative movement of the axes around the insulation stripped end of the electrical wire.

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to a wire bending apparatus capable of both on and off-plane nose and mandrel bends. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention incorporate a center turret cluster with a plurality of radii possible, a nose-bending mandrel, and a mandrel-bending mandrel. This apparatus forms a bending head that is attached to a CNC wire bending machine. This combination allows increased flexibility in forming complex wire forms and cuts down secondary operations, such as operations from robot arms, sometimes associated with CNC wire bending. In addition, the turret cluster position in the center allows for bending support with mandrel bends or nose bending on the back side of the bending head, usually 180 degrees away from the normal bending area. This allows the manufacturing of double end-loop forms without the addition of external clamps or robotic manipulation.
