ABSTRACT:
Leading portions of individual wires of a plurality of wires are positioned in spaced apart relationships with respect to each other by a wire separating mechanism which utilizes a template having a generally planar surface with a primary groove defined therein capable of substantially accommodating a trailing portion of each of the wires in a bunched together condition and a plurality of secondary grooves defined therein which emanate from the primary groove along separate, spaced apart paths, each of the secondary grooves capable of substantially accommodating therein the leading portion of only one of the wires. A clamp on the mechanism located near one end of the primary groove holds the trailing portions of the wires within the primary groove in their bunched together condition. A roller element mounted on the mechanism and having a cylindrical surface is moved by the mechanism into engagement with the trailing portions of the wires so as to introduce compressive forces thereon. Alternatively, a slide element may be utilized in place of the roller element. The mechanism continues the application of the compressive forces simultaneously along the wires by rolling the roller element along the planar surface of the template such that the application of the compressive forces simultaneously progresses along each of the wires from the trailing portion toward the leading portion of each of the wires whereby the leading portions of the wires are forced individually into respective secondary grooves in the planar surface of the template and thereby positioned in spaced apart relationships with respect to each other.
