Patent ID: 8783084

Claim:
A wire feed station for a wire shaping machine, the wire feed station comprising: a plurality of pairs of grooved rollers in which the grooved rollers of each pair rotate in opposite directions, each pair of grooved rollers suitable for clamping wire between the rollers by moving the rollers toward each other; a plurality of bearing blocks respectively supporting said plurality of pairs of grooved rollers at a front thereof, each bearing block of said plurality of bearing blocks being elastically deformable so as to absorb a relative movement of the respective pair of grooved rollers on the bearing block; a plurality of pairs of transmission wheels arranged coaxially and respectively with the pair of grooved rollers on said plurality of bearing blocks, the transmission wheels suitable for driving the grooved rollers in rotation; and a transmission screw supported by the bearing block, said transmission screw engaged with the pair of transmission wheels, the bearing block being deformable such that a relative movement of the rollers results in a rotational deformation of the bearing block about an axis of said transmission screw.
