Patent number: 4421145Abstract: Two embodiments of devices are disclosed for forming eyelets and/or twists in wire. Both embodiments are self-contained tools and include relatively rotatable outer sleeves and inner cores for completely encapsulating and holding lengths of wire. In one embodiment, the wire can be formed with a closed loop and tight wraps about the length of wire inwardly of the closed loop while the length of wire is held by the device and the closed loop is rotated relative thereto. In the other embodiment, the wire can be formed with a closed loop, followed by helical twists, and then tightly wrapped inwardly of the helical twists as the closed loop is continuously rotated relative to the device while the length of wire is encapsulated and held thereby.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1982Date of Patent: December 20, 1983Assignee: Du-Bro Products, Inc.Inventor: Dewey O.

Patent number: 4412565Abstract: A hand tool is disclosed for straightening wire and includes three elongated rod-like wire straightening members each having a plurality of wire engaging circular ridges spaced longitudinally of the respective straightener member. Link means interconnects the wire straightener members at the ends thereof for pivotal movement relative to the longitudinal axes thereof, between an open position and a closed position. The wire straightener members in the closed position define a longitudinal passageway between the circular wire engaging ridges for receiving a wire and straightening the wire in response to relative longitudinal movement of the wire in the passageway as pressure is applied exteriorly of the wire straightener members. The circular ridges on each wire straightener member are spaced and located to be disposed in gaps between the circular ridges of each other wire straightener member.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1982Date of Patent: November 1, 1983Assignee: Du-Bro Products, Inc.Inventor: Dewey O.
