Abstract: A wiredrawing machine (10) consists of a plurality of stages (11) in cascade, each stage comprising a drawbench (13) for passage of the wire (14) partially passed over a power-driven traction pulley (12). The traction pulley is kinematically connected for operation to a first gear (17) having a power-driven planetary gear (19) meshing therewith and rotating about the first gear (17) periphery. Sensor means (23) detects the angular position of the planetary gear (19) about the axis of the first gear (17) and sends position signals to a control circuit (24) which in turn sends commands for speed adjustment to motor (16), in terms of keeping the planetary gear at predetermined angular positions about the first gear.

Abstract: A wiredrawing machine is composed of a plurality of stages in cascade, each stage comprising a die (13) through which passes the wire (14) which is partially wound around a motor-driven tension pulley (12). The tension pulley (12) is kinematically connected to a gear wheel (21) which meshes with a pinion (20) supported by a lever (23) to enable it to rotate around the outer edge of the gear wheel (21) . Keyed onto the pinion (20) is a first pulley (19) around which winds a section of a belt (18) driven by a second expanding pulley (17) driven by a motor (16). The lever (23) is connected to spring members (24) which rotate the pinion (20) around the gear wheel (21) in a direction in which it tightens the belt (18).

Abstract: A metering roll system for supplying ink to a printing plate, comprises a plurality of rotatable intermediate rolls for supplying ink to the printing plate; a rotatable metering roll for supplying ink to the plurality of intermediate rolls; a rotatable fountain roll for supplying ink to the metering roll; and two bearing rings for providing a constant gap between the fountain roll and the metering roll, the two bearing rings having a diameter greater than that of the metering roll and rotatably mounted at opposite ends of the metering roll and in rolling contact with opposite cylindrical ends of the fountain roll, whereby the gap between the fountain roll and metering roll is maintained constant along the entire length of the metering roll, regardless of eccentricities in rotation of the fountain roll and metering roll.

Abstract: An improved rectilinear draw machine, effective to directly draw ferrous and non-ferrous materials, is described, which is capable of automatic and continuous control and capable of adjusting the working speed without conveying the drawn material onto outer sensors. The machine comprises drawing sections, each section being formed by a drawing ring, an idle ring coaxial therewith and a compensating arm between the rings. These three elements rotate in the same direction. The lower drawing ring is driven by the driving shaft. A hollow central shaft is fixed to the upper idle ring, which is coaxial with the lower drawing ring, but of lesser diameter. The lower end of the hollow shaft is connected to the central body of an electromagnetic brake. The compensating or balancing arm, located between the lower drawing ring and the upper idle ring, is rigid with a shaft the lower end of which is connected to the inner body of the electromagnetic coupling or coupling.
