Abstract
A flying shear for use in a wire cutting-off machine has a cutter head reciprocated along an axis parallel to the path of wire feed. A knife equipped cutoff slide carried by the head moves perpendicular to the path of wire feed and, in cooperation with a cutoff bushing carried by the head, cuts the wire while the head moves in the same direction as the wire to produce a clean cut with little or no marring of the wire surface. The head and the slide are driven by a common drive mechanism, using a single eccentrically driven lever, located entirely above the cutoff bushing to minimize the possibility of its becoming fouled by metal particles and other debris at the cutting zone.
