Abrégé

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to a wire bending apparatus capable of both on and off-plane nose and mandrel bends. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention incorporate a center turret cluster with a plurality of radii possible, a nose-bending mandrel, and a mandrel-bending mandrel. This apparatus forms a bending head that is attached to a CNC wire bending machine. This combination allows increased flexibility in forming complex wire forms and cuts down secondary operations, such as operations from robot arms, sometimes associated with CNC wire bending. In addition, the turret cluster position in the center allows for bending support with mandrel bends or nose bending on the back side of the bending head, usually 180 degrees away from the normal bending area. This allows the manufacturing of double end-loop forms without the addition of external clamps or robotic manipulation.

• B21F 1/06 - Cintrage en forme annulaire, p.ex. pour former des œillets
• B21F 1/00 - Cintrage des fils métalliques autre que l'enroulement; Redressage des fils métalliques
• B21D 7/12 - Cintrage des barres, profilés ou tubes avec une commande à programme
• B21F 1/02 - Redressage
• B21D 11/12 - Cintrage spécialement adapté à la fabrication d'objets déterminés, p.ex. de lames de ressort les objets étant des éléments de renforcement pour le béton

Gun rail attachments, gun components and accessories and systems include attachment bodies made of polymeric materials with hardness ratings and ranges which are generally flexible and malleable and heat resistant. Reinforcing members are combined with the attachment bodies for secure attachment to gun rails and grips with only the polymeric attachment bodies exposed. Pockets, cavities and channels are formed in the attachment bodies for receiving wires, devices, device modules, components or accessories for guns.

Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which relate to a stake that is twisted into and out of the ground via an adaptor. The adaptor adapts the stake to a power drill, allowing the power drill to twist the stake into and out of the ground by activating the drill. The adaptor is designed to fit a standard drill chuck at one end. At the other end, the adaptor has a fitting to receive the stake. The fitting is such that the stake and adaptor are axially locked so that the stake and adaptor rotate in unison when the drill is activated. The stake is a wire designed in a coil shape with a pilot. The pilot is fit into the adaptor which axially locks the stake with the adaptor.
