Claims
- 1. A wire drawing machine comprising:
a draw die; a capstan mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis and positioned for drawing wire through the draw die, the capstan having an upper wire-entry side and a lower wire-exit side and having a width operative to carry wrapped wire thereon; and a roller connected for pivoting about a horizontal axis parallel to the axis of the capstan and about a second axis orthogonal thereto for engaging wire on the lower exit side of the capstan, the roller being sized to substantially overlap the width of the capstan and engage the wire wrapped thereon.
- 2. The wire drawing machine as defined in claim 1 in which said roller is further connected for pivoting about a third axis orthogonal to said horizontal axis and said second axis.
