Abstract

A high-speed wire twisting machine with feed spools in cradle-type carriers rockingly mounted between paired rotors which have hollow axial passages and are aligned at spaced intervals on the twisting axis, each spool carrier being provided with deflection means to guide the wires, as they are initially drawn off and plied through the axis of the rotors in a forward direction, around each cradled feed spool, and the last rotor at the front end of the machine being provided with a guide over which the plied wires are drawn off and deflected outwardly to be returned to a rear outlet end of the machine, especially with a two-for-one twisting with the plied wires forming individual balloons between each pair of rotors. Twist stop means are preferably mounted in the front carrier which contains a feed spool or for special purposes a wire treatment means in place of the feed spool.
