Abstract: A long-sized wire transfer apparatus for use with a wire cutting machine or the like including a wire feed mechanism and a cutter blade assembly which opens and closes to cut into predetermined lengths a wire intermittently fed in by the wire feed mechanism. The wire transfer apparatus comprises a wire clamping transfer conveyor laterally extending from the downstream side of the cutter blade assembly in a direction at the right angles to the wire withdrawing line, a wire drift conveyor composed of an endless belt extending laterally from the initial end of the transfer conveyor through a slide plate of suitable length along the wire withdrawing line, and a wire collecting device or the like disposed immediately below the terminal end of the wire clamping transfer conveyor.
