Abstract:
A wire feeder is supplied with a bundle of pre-cut wires held substantially vertical orientation in a wire bin. Through gravity and optionally through vibration, a single strand from the bundle of pre-cut wires falls through a hole in the bottom of the bin, either for hand placement or for automatic placement. The floor of the bin is sloped to help migrate the strands of wire towards the hole in the bottom of the bin.

Claim (Index 1):
A wire feeder comprising:\n a wire bin for holding a plurality of pre-cut wires in a substantially vertical orientation, a floor of the wire bin having a hole, the hole for passing of a single wire of the pre-cut wires therethrough; a wire feed tube interfaced to the hole in the floor of the wire bin on a side of the hole that is distal from the plurality of pre-cut wires; a landing pad situated below the wire feed tube, the landing pad for capturing an end of the single wire after the single wire falls through the hole; and a gap between a bottom edge of the wire feed tube and the landing pad, the gap for grasping the single wire by a hand or by an end effector.
