FLAT WIRE DISTORTION REMOVAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18453394 titled 'FLAT WIRE DISTORTION REMOVAL APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The flat wire distortion removal apparatus described in the patent application is designed to prevent flat wires from being defectively processed by ensuring parallelism between the two side surfaces of the flat wire in the width direction. The apparatus includes a roller leveler with a holding part to prevent the flat wire from rotating around an axis extending in the length direction of the wire.

  • Roller leveler for flat wire distortion removal:
 - Roller leveler ensures parallelism between side surfaces of flat wire
 - Holding part prevents rotation of flat wire in length direction

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in industries that use flat wires for various applications such as electronics, automotive, and construction.

Problems Solved

1. Prevents defectively processed flat wires 2. Ensures parallelism between side surfaces of flat wire

Benefits

1. Improved quality of flat wire products 2. Increased efficiency in processing flat wires

Potential Commercial Applications

"Flat Wire Distortion Removal Apparatus: Commercial Applications" 1. Manufacturing of electronic components 2. Automotive industry for wiring harnesses

Possible Prior Art

There may be similar technologies in the field of metal processing equipment that aim to straighten wires or strips, but the specific design of the roller leveler with a holding part for flat wire distortion removal may be unique to this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the roller leveler prevent the flat wire from rotating?

The holding part of the roller leveler is designed to prevent the flat wire from rotating around an axis extending in the length direction of the wire. This mechanism ensures that the flat wire maintains its alignment during the distortion removal process.

What are the specific dimensions and materials used in the roller leveler?

The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific dimensions and materials used in the roller leveler. Further details on these aspects could help in understanding the robustness and durability of the apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

A flat wire distortion removal apparatus capable of contributing to preventing flat wires from being defectively processed is provided. A flat wire distortion removal apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a flat wire distortion removal apparatus, including a roller leveler configured to obtain parallelism between two side surfaces of the flat wire in a width direction by making the flat wire pass between a pair of rollers. The roller leveler includes a holding part configured to prevent the flat wire from rotating around an axis extending in a length direction of the flat wire.
