Abstract
In order to be able to remove the wire from its supply source and in order to be able to prevent a bending of the wire, a wire-feed-clamp (3) can be moved along an alignment element (2) which, in a fixed position, is arranged on a carrier (1), whereby the wire-feed-clamp (3) produces a one-sided gripping effect and whereby a hollow needle (8) is affixed on the front side of the wire-feed-clamp (3), for the purpose of penetration of the solid body; at the rear extremity of the alignment element (2), a return-motion stopping-element (11) for the wire is arranged which, in the same sense as the wire-feed-clamp (3), produces a one-sided gripping effect and is aligned with the hollow needle (8) and whereby in front of the alignment element (2), a cutting element (20, 21) is arranged for the purpose of cutting-off the wire section which, at any given time, had been pushed through the solid body.
