ABSTRACT:
A wire collection apparatus for use with a wire cutting machine. The apparatus comprises a tubular wire channel, a rotating tubular channel closure, and an actuator device. The wire channel contains an axial opening along the entire length of the channel. The channel contains a proximal opened end for receiving a portion of wire from the cutting machine and a distal opened end for allowing the leading terminus of the wire portion to extend therethrough, if necessary. The channel closure is positioned inside of and is substantially concentric with the wire channel. The closure contains an axial opening along the entire length of the closure and contains opened ends in alignment with the proximal and distal ends, respectively, of the wire channel. The closure is rotatable inside the channel between opened and closed positions to open and close the axial opening of the channel, respectively. The axial openings of the closure and the channel are in alignment in the opened position and out of alignment in the closed position. The actuating device is coupled to the closure and configured to rotate the closure between the opened and the closed positions.
