  • Method and apparatus for gathering a ring shaped wire rod
    Patent number: 4357965
    Abstract: In a method for gathering a ring shaped wire rod, particularly a wire rod made of steel, the wire rod is continuously conveyed and gathered in the form of a coil by means of a gathering apparatus including a gathering tub and a coil plate. In accordance with the present invention, the lowering speed of the coil plate is controlled in such a manner that piling position of said rings is always within a predetermined range. In addition, the ring shaped wire rod is dropped, while imparting a movement having a horizontal component to the ring shaped wire rod so as to increase the filling ratio over that of the prior art. The coils gathered in the present invention are more compact than in the prior art.
