Abstract: A device for bending the ends (17) which result from cutting to size a metallic binding spiral (9) includes a contrasting member (4) provided at the front with two pairs (12, 12') of flat lugs, mutually parallel and orthogonal to the axis of the spiral (9), suitable to securely retain the roots (16) of the two prongs (14) of the spiral (9) between which the cut has been performed, and a pushing member (7) provided at the front with a central tooth (13) radiused to the body of the pusher (7) and also orthogonal to the axis of the spiral (9), suitable to bend the ends (17) parallelly to the prongs (14) by interacting with said contrast (4). The contrast (4) and the pusher (7) move along substantially orthogonal axes under the action of double-acting pneumatic jacks.
