Method of and a device for producing parts

Abstract

For producing a part, a wire is wound so that portions of the wire extend along one another, and the portions of the wire are connected with one another, while during the winding the wire is supported so that the wire is not wound onto a support which fills it completely.

1 . A method of producing a part, comprising winding a wire so that portions of the wire extend along one another, connecting the portions of the wire with one another; and during winding of the wire supporting the wire, so that the wire is not wound on a support which completely fills it from inside but instead it is just held at least at one location. 
     
     
         2 . A method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said supporting includes holding the wire only on the one location, while said connecting includes connecting the portions of the wire at another location which is spaced from said one location. 
     
     
         3 . A method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said supporting includes holding the wire on the one location, said connecting the portions of the wire with one another including connecting the portions of the wire substantially at the same location. 
     
     
         4 . A method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said connecting includes connecting selected from the group consisting of welding, gluing, clamping, squeezing and stapling. 
     
     
         5 . A device for producing parts, comprising means for winding a wire so that portions of the wire extend along one another, means for connecting the portions of the wire with one another; and means for supporting the wire, so that the wire is not wound on a support which completely fills it from inside but instead it is just held at the one location. 
     
     
         6 . A device as defined in  claim 5 , wherein said supporting means holds the wire only on one location, while said connecting means connect the portions of the wire at another location which is spaced from said one location. 
     
     
         7 . A device as defined in  claim 5 , wherein said supporting means holds the wire on one location, said connecting means connect the portions of the wire with one another substantially at the same one location. 
     
     
         8 . A device as defined in  claim 5 , wherein said connecting means includes means selected from the group consisting of welding, gluing, clamping, squeezing and stapling means.
