Tying wire rolls
A binding wire roll is a machine-made, round or oval roll made of binding wire (also known as tie wire ). The original shape is oval and known as the wireframe mouse . Wire mouse is a registered trademark of the inventor.
application
The steel fixers cut at the beginning of his work an expected amount required wire from the roll and wrapped it over the handles of his pincer to an oval rolls that could be accommodated comfortably in the pocket. In order to make the work of the iron weavers easier, Kurt Eckers developed the machine-wound "wireframe", which saves a lot of time at work.
As proven a million times over , they began their triumphal march in the construction industry in the 1970s.
Originally, soft-annealed, rust-resistant treated 1a wire with a wire diameter of 1.4 mm was wound up by machine into oval rolls with a wire length of approx. 7 meters. These were the size of today's computer mouse . The inventor was able to purchase them directly in bundles of two sacks with a total of approx. 1000 pieces, i.e. 84 kg and 7000 meters of wire. Today they are offered by numerous manufacturers.
Current way of working
Pieces of wire that have already been cut to fit with eyelets at both ends for a drill , so-called "sack binders", seem to enable a layperson to work faster. Such pieces of wire are available in the required lengths and wire thicknesses. A trained iron weaver works much faster with a wired mouse and tongs than with a drill and the much more expensive, misappropriated sack binders.
