Abstract
Disclosed is a preferred embodiment of straightening apparatus (100) featuring a pair of adjacent rotary block members (8) and (8') having channels (30) and (30') respectively disposed therein for receiving spaced-apart legs (6) and (6') of a heated leaf springs folded into a substantially flat 'U' shaped configuration as block members (8) and (8') are caused to rotate in unison in opposite directions, inner walls (12) and (12') of channels (30) and (30') respectively engage and urge legs (6) and (6') away from each other whilst outer walls (10) and (10') of channels (30) and (30') respectively are operative to engage and provide support for substantially the entire length of a convex side (26) of a curved section (24) of the folded leg spring effective to prevent warpage thereof during the straightening process.
