Abstract

A cutter frame for cutting unfired brick material is provided with a tensioning leaf spring having a lateral mounting portion. A cutter wire end loop is positioned over the mounting projection and is placed in substantial tension by such spring. The mounting projection is deformed by plastic deformation to provide a fully curved cutter wire loop support surface. Since the support surface for the cutter wire is curved, sharp corners are eliminated and fatigue failures in the cutter wire are substantially reduced. Further, the smooth support surface allows the wire to automatically position itself to equalize the tension in each leg of the loop.
