Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0380452A2] A machine is claimed for the forming of ornamental chain with cylindrical helix links, comprising: - a primary section (A) for the displacement of each free link, to a position for linking it with the corresponding link in the chain being formed, with a motorised vertical shaft carrying a horizontal support for guiding a slide block of a bank of carrying tongs, sliding horizontally between a remote, inactive position and two forward working positions, respectively for grasping the free link from a link forming machine and positioning it for linking, with a pinch for grasping the free link, that is slaved to a helicoidal advancing movement along its longitudinal axis, in order to make the linkage with the last corresp. link of the chain being formed; - a secondary section (B) for the blocking of the leading - last link of the chain being formed, with a vertical motorised hollow shaft, sliding axially and carrying a horizontal slide for a slide block provided withtwo distinct vices and moving in a manner suitable to position separately these vices in the blocking position for the corresp. link of the chain during its formation. The method of using this machine is also claimed.
