Abstract

A method and an apparatus for extricating and transferring wires cut into lengths from a loose, random wire bundle (B) into a single layer (L) of parallel wires, in which first the loose, random wire bundle is fanned out into a plurality of random wire layers, and from the fanned-out, random wire layers, a partial bundle (T, T') is extracted and put into the operative range of a portioning device (4, 4'), whereupon a plurality of wires (D) are extracted simultaneously as an intermediate bundle (Z) from the partial bundle and, for forming a bundle to be combed out (K), are put into the operative range of a plurality of combing-out devices (33); then for ordering the wires (D) of the bundle to be combed out, one wire (D2) at a time is engaged in succession by a combing-out device (33'; 33'') and combed out, and the combed-out wire then slides and/or rolls by gravity on inclined faces (20, 20'; 24) into the single layer.
