Abstract
The invention concerns an apparatus for detaching wires previously cut to length from a disordered bundle. The apparatus includes a container for the bundle of wire in which there is mounted, adjacent one end, a device for grasping the wires in turn adjacent their ends and moving them transversely to their longitudinal axis against a stop situated to the side of the draw-in region of two conveyor rollers which have a variable spacing between their axes. The rollers are arranged, on reducing their axial spacing, to grasp the end of each wire bearing against the stop and to pull that wire out of the bundle substantially in its axial direction to convey it to a receiving device.
