  • Wire rope salvaging apparatus
    Patent number: 4729272
    Abstract: A wire rope salvaging apparatus provides a frame which supports an intermittent feed mechanism which moves wire rope to be cut a small length at a time as defined by the stroke of the feed mechanism. A blade also mounted on the frame cuts the wire rope at preselected interval lengths, the blade being movable between cutting and feeding positions. A timing mechanism coordinates movement of the feed and blade mechanism so that the blade first assumes a non-cutting position during the feeding when the wire is moving and then cuts the rope when the feed has stopped and the wire rope is at a still position.
    Type: Grant
