Abstract
The disclosure embraces an apparatus for handling wire at a work station of an electric coil making machine where conductive wire is wrapped around a spool to form an electric coil with a number of spools being carried from work station to work station on spool carriers mounted on a turret head; at a final work station a pair of clamps are mounted on arms which are pivoted from a rest position to a clamping position to grasp and hold the wire extending between adjacent spools on the turret head while the wire is severed by a knife; the length of wire between a spool and an adjacent clamping device is then wrapped on a connecting peg of an individual spool until the wire is broken; the clamping device is then pivoted back to its rest position for disposal of the wire remnants held by the clamping device.
